Everyone of us imperfect mortals who do not have a personal hairstylist at hand daily surely experiences from time to time days when our hair is simply out of control. Believe it or not such a hair condition can very well affect our mood for the whole day. It doesn´t feel very good when we can´t see ourselves as attractive individuals. And that includes men too, don´t be mistaken. Some men confessed that when their hair is not as they want it to be their self-confidence is slumping. But now it seems bad hair days could be done with for good. The thing is German scientists have completed the first microscope analysis of how individual hair fibers rub together. They used atomic microscope to examine the atoms in hair, and different chemical and physical forces that are the results of their interaction. Eva Max, a doctoral student in chemistry at University of Bayreuth who participated at the study, said: “Given all the new hair treatments out there, there´s a growing need to make hair feel more natural.” Undoubtedly it is a breakthrough which can help significantly in development of more sophisticated hair care products. "There are several changes that take place at the same time when hair is exposed to hair care products, and it will help greatly to understand which of those changes is crucial for optimizing hair care," she said. "If, for example, it would turn out that there is an optimum friction between single hairs for pleasant (touch), the molecular composition of hair-care products can be optimized to achieve this friction."The study was presented at the weekend at the American Chemical Society´s national meeting in Philadelphia. Well, hopefully common people will benefit from results of this research in some time as will also multi-billion dollar hair care industry.
