title: Trichochromes in red human hair.
abstract: The presence of trichochromes B and C in red human hair was confirmed with an analytical procedure which does not give rise to the formation of these compounds as artifacts. The trichochrome precursor 5-S-cysteinyldopa previously demonstrated in red guinea-pig hair was not detected in red human hair.
