Hair shaft bending measurements. (a) A load–hair deflection curve, using relatively large forces. After significant deflection, the hair made contact with the socket and then the hair shaft was bent as seen from the small slope of the curve. (b) The same load curve as in (a), with the initial part of the curve enlarged to show the region where the AFM cantilever tip contacts the hair shaft.
