Tribology in the Hair Surface and Tactile Perception

The alteration of hair surface properties due to hair damage results in a coarse texture for tactile feeling. The relationship between the surface properties of hair and the recognition of hair damage was investigated using unique artificial hair surface model plates engraved with an excimer laser....
