This study aimed to help the college students majoring in beauty to have interests and manage the functional areas of scalp and hair by accurately identifying the condition of scalp and hair and realizing the convergence management habit and subjective symptoms for the condition. The study conducted a survey on 160 beauty major college universities in their 20s living in the Jeonnam area by asking the subjects to directly write the answers. The study found that many subjects had combination type of scalps and hair problems of split ends and thin hair, and recognized that their hair was damaged. They answered that frequent dyeing and perm caused the damage and they were using the shampoo for damaged hair to prevent hair damage. Regarding the observable symptoms on scalp and hair, it was identified that self-perception was higher as the interest in scalp was high, which influenced age and sleeping time.

In this study, it is intended to provide basic research data on hair loss and problematic scalp that is expanding to lower age groups and women. When using Company B's hair ampoule containing L-Menthol, Salicylic acid, and Dexpanthenol daily for women in their 20s with problematic scalp, the effect on the scalp and hair after 4 weeks was investigated. As a result of this study, when using Company B's ampoule containing L-Menthol, Salicylic acid, and Dexpanthenol, the subjects showed improvement effects such as relieving inflammation, reducing scalp fever and erythema, reducing itching and hair loss, and increasing hair thickness. In addition, it was confirmed that the scalp self-diagnosis of the subjects showed improvement effects on scalp satisfaction, scalp vitality and elasticity, heat generation, scalp pulling after cleaning, and itching. Through these research results, it is believed that products containing L-Menthol, Salicylic acid, and Dexpanthenol will help improve problematic scalp and hair.

본 논문은 모발 정밀검사(Phototrichogram)를 통해 일정 간격을 두고 촬영된 환자의 모발 두피 사진을 이용하여 머리카락 검출 및 개수 변화 추이에 따른 환자의 탈모 진단에 도움을 줄 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 탈모 진단을 위해 제안하였던 머리카락 검출 방법에서 사용한 환자의 모발 두피 사진에 Color Slicing을 적용하여 환자의 두피 모발 사진의 픽셀값을 통일성 있게 구성하였다. 또한, 머리카락 검출하기 위한 방법으로 Swin Transformer를 사용하고, 딥러닝 기반의 영상 분할 기법(Image Segmentation)의 하나인 HTC(Hybrid Task Cascade) 모델을 활용하여 좀 더 효과적으로 머리카락을 검출할 수 있는 모델을 제안한다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the difference of scalp and hair care behaviors according to DiSC behaviors of beauty consumer. For the study, 251 questionnaires were analyzed using the SPSS v.18.0 statistical package program. First, there was statistically significant difference in psychological stability, favorable image, and maintaining state of scalp and hair management according to DiSC behavior type. In case of Shin Jung - hyung (C), psychological stability, Positive images, and maintaining good condition. Second, DiSC and hair management behaviors according to DiSC behaviors showed statistically significant difference in state cognition management and product use management. In the case of cognition type (C) and social type (I) Product use management. The results of this study suggest that hair management awareness and behavior, which is dependent on DiSC behaviors of consumers, are provided as basic data for corporate marketing strategy.

Using Fervidobacterium islandicum AW-1, keratin peptides were produced and confirmed factors related to the scalp and hair. The cytotoxicity and proliferation tests as a function of the concentration of the keratin peptide did not show toxicity and effect on the cellular proliferation in the immortalized human hair dermal papilla cell line. Hair shampoos and hair essences containing keratin peptides were produced, and conducted human patch test. Result showed no skin irritation. The shampoo and the essence were apploed to 2 groups of 30 healthy adults for 4 weeks and showed statistically significant positive results for gloss, hair loss, scalp trouble, and hair roughness by visual assessment. The scalp water content was significantly increased after 2 and 4 weeks compared to before using the shampoo or the essence. Trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) and the sebum secretion amount in the scalp were significantly decreased after 4 weeks compared to before. The frictional force against combing before and after using the hair shampoo and the essence for normal hair tress and damaged hair tress was significantly changed. The combing force was increased for normal hair tress and decreased for damaged hair tress. In conclusion, we suggest that keratin peptides are appropriated as cosmetic ingredients to be used in hair and scalp related products.

기존의 영상처리 및 컴퓨터 비전 기술은 X-ray, 군사용 사진, CCTV 영상과 같은 제한적인 상황에서 주로 사용되었다. 스마트폰이 보급되면서 고해상도의 사진을 어디서든 촬영할 수 있게 되었고, 고성능 디바이스를 이용하여 촬영된 영상을 즉시 가공 및 처리가 가능하게 되었다. 그 결과 영상처리 기술이 이전보다 다양하고 좀 더 일반적인 분야에서도 쓰이게 되었다. 그러나 영상처리 기술은 조건이 제한될수록 처리가 용이하며, 일반적인 이미지들을 처리하기 위해서는 고려해야 할 사항이 많다. 특히 두피 영상 분석의 경우 머리카락이 겹치는 부분이나 그림자, 머리카락이 밀집하여 상대적으로 어두워지는 부분 등을 고려해야 하는 어려움이 있으며 현재까지 영상처리를 이용한 두피영상 분석에 대한 연구는 많지 않은 것이 현실이다. 본 논문에서는 스마트폰에 부착하는 포터블 카메라로 촬영된 두피영상을 분석하여 모발의 두께를 측정하는 기법을 제시한다. 먼저 영상에 대한 전처리로 Contrast stretching과 이 진화 과정을 수행한다. 얻어진 이진화 영상에 대해 머리카락의 Skeleton을 추출하고 각 pixel의 각도(angle)를 이용하여 법선을 구한다. 계산된 법선과 머리카락 사이의 교점을 구한 후 두 점사이의 거리를 통해 모발의 두께를 계산한다. 계산된 두께와 현미경을 이용하여 측정한 모발의 실제 두께와 비교하여 제안된 기법의 정확도를 평가한다.

In this study, we tried to investigate the efficacy of combined light therapy using low-power lasers at 655 nm and LEDs emitting wavelengths at 625 ± 5 nm and 850 ± 10 nm in hair loss and scalp. A total of 33 subjects were enrolled in this clinical trial. Each subject used the LLLT and LED device on the scalp for 10 min on a daily basis for 12 weeks. After 12 weeks of LLLT and LED device use, there were significant improvements in redness, elasticity, and hydration of the scalp. Additionally, hair luster and tensile strength were improved. A remarkable decrease in total shed hairs was observed in all subjects at 4, 8, and 12 weeks without any serious adverse event. Combined light therapy using LLLT and LEDs proved to be an effective treatment for reducing hair loss and improving scalp condition.

In this study, I investigated on the ultrastructure of scalp skin from full term baby mummy by using transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The baby mummy was found within the uterus of a 16th century (Joseon Dynasty) mummified woman aged 20${\sim}$30 years old. In scanning electron microscopic study, I found that the outer surface of scalp skin containing of sweat gland and stratum corneum are well preserved. The skin of the scalp measured about 1 mm in thickness and the epidermis was well distinguished from the dermis. In transmission electron microscopy, the shape and structure of the epithelial cells were not confirmed. I also observed well preserved collagen fibers composed of collagen fibrils with cross banding pattern ultrastructurally. But, the other connective cells were not observed due to decomposition of the dermis.

Problems with scalp lead to hair loss, dandruff, itchiness, and other illness. No clear causes of these problems have been found and it is difficult to treat them. Therefore, the best way to prevent and treat any problems with scalp is to maintain physiological homeostasis of scalp to keep it healthy. Recently, many scalp and hair product brands have attempted to use medicinal herbs which have been extracted in hot water and mixed with other ingredients due to mass-production and standardization issues. However, many nutrients and active substances are destroyed by hot-water extraction. Therefore, this study has applied low-temperature rendering to minimize destruction of substances to extract black beans, peony, and green tea that are known to improve conditions of scalp. Then, their contribution to the improvement of scalp health was assessed. In result, it was found that low-temperature rendering retains over two times greater anti-oxidizing strengths than hot-water extraction and that the extracts from low-temperature rendering effectively strengthen follicles and hair, moisturize scalp, and prevent itchiness. Therefore, low-temperature rendered black beans, peony, and green tea extracts can be used to make effective scalp treatments.
