Thermal modulation and airflow distribution determine hair drying efficiency, moisture behavior in human hair in Republic of Korea: an ex vivo study

Key Points

• This research aims to examine how thermal modulation and airflow distribution affect hair drying efficiency and moisture behavior in human hair.
• Conducted an ex vivo study on human hair samples
• Analyzed the effects of different thermal modulations and airflow distributions
• Measured hair drying efficiency and moisture retention
• Enhanced airflow significantly improved hair drying efficiency
• Optimal thermal conditions reduced moisture loss in hair
• Different thermal modulations resulted in varied moisture retention levels
