Changes in the mechanical parameters of hair in a group of women in reproduction age

Abstrakt

Hair quality and scalp characteristics are considered to be a significant marker of health. This marker is reflected in mechanical properties of hair.

To investigate these properties, hair samples have been collected among women of different age and then analyzed. The thickness, Young's modulus of elasticity and ultimate strength limit were the main observed parameters.
