Five microliters of deionized water was applied on two samples using a micropi- pette, and three contact angle measurements were taken on each sample and averaged. SPECIMEN MOUNTING Hair specimens were mounted onto AFM sample pucks using Liquid Paper® correction fluid. A thin layer of the fluid was brushed onto the puck, and when the fluid hardened into a tacky state, the hair sample was carefully placed. The Liquid Paper® dries quickly to keep the hair firmly in place. An optical microscope was used to preliminarily image the specimen to ensure none of the Liquid Paper® was deposited on the hair surface. SURFACE ROUGHNESS AND FRICTION FORCE MEASUREMENTS Surface roughness and friction force measurements were performed using a commercial AFM system (MultiMode Nanoscope Illa, Digital Instruments, Santa Barbara CA) in ambient conditions (22 ° ± 1 ° C, 50 ± 5% relative humidity). Square pyramidal Si 3 N 4 tips of nominal 30-50-nm radius attached to the end of a soft Si 3 N 4 cantilever beam (spring constant of 0.06 Nim) were used for surface roughness and friction force mea- surements. A softer cantilever was used to minimize damage to the hair. After engage- ment of the tip with the cuticle surface, the tip was scanned perpendicular to the
