DESCRIPTION:
Human hair is the subject of a remarkably wide range of scientific investigations. Its chemical and physical properties are of importance to the cosmetics industry, forensic scientists and to biomedical researchers. The fifth edition of this book confirms its position as the definitive monograph on the subject. Previous editions were recognized as “concise and thorough” (Journal of the American Chemical Society), “an invaluable resource” (Canadian Forensic Science Society Journal), and “highly recommended” (Textile Research Journal). Chemical and Physical Behavior of Human Hair is a teaching guide and reference volume for cosmetic chemists and other scientists in the hair products industry, academic researchers studying hair and hair growth, textile scientists and forensic specialists.Features of the Fifth Edition: Recent advances in the classification and characterization of the different proteins and genes in IF and keratin associated proteins in human hair are described. The mechanism and incidence of hair growth and loss and hair density vs. age of males & females are described for Asians, Caucasians and Africans in different scalp regions. Details of hair surface lipids and cuticle membranes provide a better understanding of the surface and organization of the CMC and its involvement in stress strain is presented. Recent
Science geek info on hair and how we (as hairdressers) can effect it If you are interested i the science of hair and can read science lingo, this is a great product. I'm a pretty smart fellow and can barely understand 20% of it. But what I've learned is pretty cool.The book was recco'd to me from a friend of mine who is a lab rat for Loreal. It's one of their reference books.I think I paid under a hundred dollars for it. Which, based on comparison shopping, is a steal.This book gets so deep into the science you head will spin before you get through the intro.This book is NOT for the average person wanting to know some. Comprehensive revisons KY The science hair has also been studied actively and inovated year by year. This book considerably revised the contents of ver. 3 and 4, citing many new literatures. Not all of the contents are scientific ones but include those from cosmetic practices. I personally think that the first half of the book is especilaly good as the reference for hair-related basic investigations.
