Selected mechanical parameters of women’s hair in the Caucasian population
Original language description
OBJECTIVE: More parameters have been used for more detailed description of mechanical properties of human hair as a fibre than in analogous studies. All measured samples were taken from five different locations on the heads of 60 women of varied age. RESULTS: As far as hair cross-section is concerned, it has been found that for the European population it appears to be rather higher - 86 microns - than indicated in formerly published texts. The 56 microns mentioned in the work of other authors has been observed only utterly exceptionally, in 0,3 % of the population. All quantities studied (except extensibility) display moderate to strong positive skewness in comparison to Gauss distribution. The most marked skewness is seen in the resilience. At the same time, this quantity displays the highest value of non-Gaussian distribution. The elasticity module of 2,3+-0,6 GPa is three times lower than the one reported by other authors, yet according to the fact published in our work - which shows unambiguous
