Body text
X-ray imaging is available to investigation of the mechanism of a hair conditioning technology relevant to replenishment of damaged hair inside the hair fibers. Figure shows the fine structure of medulla and cortex in a human hair fiber.A significant difference of density between bleached hair and treated hair was observed.
Fig. X-ray image of a human hair fiber(dry, healthy).
