Abstract

The morphological characteristics of the cut sections of hair using razor, clipper and scissors were investigated with scanning electron microscopy. With the razor, the cutting section had a long elliptical form and a rhythmical ribbon shape. It was curved outward since the end part of it became thinner. With the scissors, the cutting section had a flat, circular form. It seemed to be because the scissors imposed a constant strength on the hair. With the clipper, the cutting section had also a circular form but a layer of the macrofibril was generated in the middle part of the cortex. It seemed to be generated while the rapidly moving blades of the clipper cut the hair in an instant.

본 연구는 레이저, 클리퍼, 가위 등의 커트도구를 사용하여 모발절단면의 형태학적 특성을 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. 레이저(razer)를 사용해서 절단된 모발의 단면은 모발 끝이 한쪽 방향으로 예리하고 뾰족하게 형성되었고 모발의 잘린 면이 얇아지면서 모발의 바깥쪽 부위로 휘어지는 것을 확인하였다. 가위(scissors)를 사용하여 절단된 모발의 횡단면은 비교적 깨끗하게 관찰되었다. 이는 가위와 사람의 손힘이 일정하게 주어짐에 따라 모발의 절단면이 찌그러지거나 눌림 현상 없이 모발형태가 변형되지 않고 절단되었기 때문인 것으로 관찰되었다. 클리퍼(clipper)를 사용해서 절단된 모발 횡단면의 큐티클층은 손상되지 않고 고르게 잘려 나갔으나 피질(cortex)은 섬유성 단백질인 거대원섬유 (macrofibril)들이 매끄럽게 잘려나가지 않고 모발단면의 중간위치에서 층이 형성되는 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 클리퍼의 날이 전기적인 힘에 의해서 고속으로 움직이면서 모발을 순간적으로 절단하면서 생기는 자국으로 나타났다.
