Curly Hair Follicle is Sculpted by a Contracted Arrector Pili Muscle. A Hypothesis with Treatment Implications

2024-09-23

Abstract excerpt

The enormous diversity of hair fibers found in human population is striking, while the basic structure of human fibers is often the same! But why do some fibers curl? Curling is related to the machinery and processes that produce different keratin filament orientation in relation to the axis of hair growth, influenced by developmental and molecular control. It is established that a curly hair shaft is produced by...
