Schaeffler Group USA Inc., a global manufacturer of precision components for the industrial and automotive sectors, today celebrated the grand opening of its expanded manufacturing plant and new administrative building in Fort Mill, S.C. The project resulted in the creation of over 100 South Carolina jobs.

The grand opening celebration featured over 100 invited guests and dignitaries, including The Honorable Henry McMaster, Governor of South Carolina; H.E. Dr. Peter Wittig, Germany’s Ambassador to the United States; the owners of the Schaeffler Group, Mrs. Maria-Elisabeth Schaeffler-Thumann and Mr. Georg F. W. Schaeffler, as well as Mr. Klaus Rosenfeld, CEO of Schaeffler AG.

“Schaeffler is excited to celebrate another milestone in our five-decade partnership with the State of South Carolina,” said Schaeffler America CEO Bruce Warmbold. “The increased production capacity in our Fort Mill 1 plant enables our company to offer more job opportunities for residents of the Palmetto State as well as more high-tech solutions to our automotive and industrial customers.”

“South Carolina’s manufacturing industry is one of the fastest growing in the world, and we have fantastic companies like Schaeffer to thank for that,” said Governor McMaster. “Each time a company like this one commits to our state and invests in our people, it shows that our State is a great place to be doing business. Today’s celebration is just one
of many that we know the partnership between Schaeffer and South Carolina will produce in the years to come.” Schaeffler Group USA Inc.’s latest $36.5 million capital investment, which generated approximately 105 additional jobs, resulted in the construction of a new administrative office building, the expansion of one of two factories located on the company’s Fort Mill campus, and a reworked plant entrance to accommodate the growth and increase in traffic.

The factory expansion, which creates almost 35,000 sq. ft. of additional manufacturing space in the company’s Fort Mill 1 Plant, increases capacity in stamping, heat treatment and assembly for thrust bearings used in 8-, 9- and 10–speed automatic transmissions. Meanwhile, the brand-new administrative building encompasses over 64,000 sq. ft. of office space, including state-of-the-art workstations, a multimedia conference center for regional meetings, and a full-service employee cafeteria. The York County expansion is part of a $164 million capital investment in

Schaeffler’s South Carolina operations – which include facilities in Spartanburg County and Chesterfield County – that was announced back in January 2015. Collectively, the investments are expected to create more than 440 new jobs in the Palmetto State.

Headquartered in Herzogenaurach, Germany, Schaeffler is a worldwide manufacturer of high precision components and systems for the automotive industry as well as rolling and plain bearing solutions for 60 industrial sectors. With approximately 86,600 employees in 50 countries around the world, the firm truly possesses a global footprint. Schaeffler’s Americas operations, headquartered in Fort Mill, are responsible for the engineering, production, sales and marketing of three major product brands – LuK, INA
and FAG.

In the U.S. alone, Schaeffler employs approximately 6,000 people at eight factories and three technology centers spread throughout South Carolina, Ohio, Missouri, Michigan and Connecticut. The company’s apprenticeship programs, which it has offered in the U.S. for over 35 years, were highlighted in a White House roundtable discussion on vocational training programs and continuing education in the United States with President Donald Trump and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

For many beauty trendsetters, natural hair is in. But stepping away from relaxed ends and embracing multiple textures comes with challenges of its own, which is why many people opt to give their hair a reset by doing a “big chop.” This drastic change encourages healthy hair growth and allows you to style your new shorter ‘do with curly girl-approved methods that help your natural curls shine.

Beginning your big chop journey can be difficult. That’s why VEGAMOUR consulted with hair texture experts to discover how and why to do a big chop. Plus, discover the essentials you need to nourish and support thick, healthy looking hair.

Why Try a “Big Chop”

When you start to embrace your natural hair, you’re often dealing with considerable damage to your existing strands.

In the past, women with hair textures might’ve felt pressured to use heat and styling products to create an artificially relaxed hair texture. Recently, a growing movement to embrace your natural hair has encouraged curly girls to step away from damaging hair care routines and get to know (and love) their natural curl patterns. The big chop is a way to embrace your textured hair while eliminating strands damaged by years of heat and chemical treatments.

“[A big chop] helps you remove damaged hair,” said stylist and hair expert Ghanima Abdullah. “When you have damaged hair and split ends, the damage can spread to hair that’s growing healthily. A big chop gives you the chance to start again!”

Abdullah also said that a big chop can help your hair regain its natural texture.

“A big chop removes chemical processing that changes the texture of the hair,” she said. “Often, having one’s natural texture underneath chemically processed hair makes the whole length difficult to comb and style. Big chops give freedom from lengthy styling processes.”

Aside from getting rid of damaged strands, a big chop can help encourage curl shape and volume by supporting hydration. Curly hair is naturally hydrated by oil from the scalp’s sebaceous glands, which travel down the hair shaft, moisturizing and hydrating dry hair while reducing frizz. Chemically processed curly hair is often lacking in moisture due to repeated damaging treatments. When you do a big chop, you allow your scalp’s natural oils to nourish the whole strands as they grow, causing your air-dried curls to soak up al that natural hydration, leading to increased shape and shine.

The Challenges of a “Big Chop”

A big chop can help hair regain its texture, but making such a dramatic styling decision isn’t for everyone.

Abdullah believes that being comfortable with embracing short hair is the first step to determining if a big chop is right for you.

“[After a big chop], your hair is so short that the shape of the head is clearly visible,” she said. “If your head isn’t perfectly shaped, your big chop might look a little strange.”

She also said that cutting off so much hair can cause surprising emotional reactions.

“Some people think they are emotionally prepared to big chop, but once they do it they face a lot of societal backlash,” said Abdullah. “This can make having short hair very hard, and some of these women handle the situation by wearing a wig instead.”

If you’re not the wig type and a big chop sounds too drastic, here are a few alternatives:

• Try a “no cut” transition: Nourish your natural hair with a gentle, sulfate-free hair care routine to let your follicles improve slowly over time.
• Get a trim: Refresh damaged split ends and encourage new growth with a trim, cutting off around 1-2 inches of length.
• Opt for a medium cut: Make an appointment with a curly hair expert to remove some of your chemically treated and damaged strands. They can give you a cut that is a significant change without going all the way to a big chop. That way, you can keep some of your lengths while your new growth learns to embrace its natural texture.

How to Make the Most of Your Big Chop Experience

If you do decide to do a big chop, there are steps you can take to ensure you’re getting the optimal experience.

First, it’s critical to make sure you go to a curly hair expert who will give your hair a dry cut and understands the unique needs of textured strands.

Arrive at the salon with freshly washed but dry strands so your stylist can assess the natural condition of your curls. They’ll take the elasticity and density of your natural air-dried texture into account before cutting.

This is especially critical because hair texture plays a considerable role in how your strands will react to their big chop. Dense hair will become considerably larger and wider after its cut, while elastic strands may curl up closer, leaving you with shorter hair than you expect.

A qualified stylist will be able to help prepare you for what to expect while ensuring you get a cut that’s suited to your face shape and aesthetic, making the transition from long to short strands as seamless as possible.

The Post-Chop Transition

Embracing your natural curls isn’t always intuitive. In fact, transitioning to a more natural approach to styling your curly hair as you begin your new natural hair journey can mean relearning how to style and treat your strands. As you consider whether going for the big chop is right for you, planning how to manage your post-big chop transition is key.

After the big chop, your hair will enter a period of growth and rejuvenation. Called the “transition period” by curly hair experts, this stage is where you’ll see old hair mingled with new strands, causing your hair to have a somewhat unexpected blend of textures.

Keeping in touch with your stylist during this period is the key to handling the post-chop transition with grace. A qualified stylist can provide you with regular check-ins, during which you can expect to trim split ends, shape your hair as it grows and monitor texture to make sure your hair is getting the nourishment it needs.

Many people also use the big chop as an opportunity to switch up their hair care pattern, transitioning to natural hair products that nourish strands with natural ingredients. Adding a serum specifically designed to boost hair health after the big chop can help your hair come back faster, healthier and better looking than ever before.

Is a Big Chop Right For You?

A big chop is an opportunity to start fresh with your strands. However, every new opportunity comes with new challenges, and a big chop is no different. It’s important to be aware of these challenges before you see your stylist in order to fully prepare yourself for this massive change.

Deciding to go for a big chop can feel intimidating, but by informing yourself of the benefits and challenges of making this bold decision, you’ll be setting yourself up for decades of happy, healthy strands.

During a recent study, bio-based acrylated and epoxidised jatropha oil was incorporated with graphene nanoplatelets to formulate corrosion resistance coatings.

Vegetable oil has been extensively investigated as a precursor to eco-friendly coatings as an alternative to petrochemical-based resources due to its lower carbon footprint properties. In view of this, jatropha oil (JO), a type of non-edible oil, has received significant attention in this field. A new study was undertaken to utilise acrylated epoxidised jatropha oil (AEJO) resin and to evaluate the anti-corrosion performance with the addition of graphene nanoplatelets (GNP).

Good anti-corrosion resistance

Test results showed that the corrosion performance of AEJO-GNP nanocomposites coatings improved from the blank coating. Among all coatings tested, AEJO-0.5 wt% GNP exhibited the strongest barrier property and maximum performance in corrosion protection. The result was supported by water contact angle and pull-off adhesion tests. In addition, the highest pull-off adhesion strength for GNP fillers added coatings was established at 0.5 wt% of GNP. High hydrophobicity and pull-off adhesion strength coatings provided a physical barrier that created a tortuosity pathway for corrosive electrolytes to reach the metal surface and thus showed better anti-corrosion resistance.

The study has been published in Progress in Organic Coatings, Volume 175, February 2023.

Researchers have found that the addition of Mn0.6Ni1.4Co2Oy to the resin improves the thermal stability of the coating and effectively inhibits the movement of the resin’s chain segments.

In order to make full use of solar energy and solve the problem of functional incompatibility between solar and infrared spectra, the study has cleverly aimed at the problem by designing Mn_0.6Ni_1.4Co₂O_y multi-functional interface. The Mn_0.6Ni_1.4Co₂O_y coating was obtained by a simple vacuum spraying method. It was found that the coatings prepared with the appropriate amount of MNC/resin ratio (5:5) possessed the high solar absorptivity (0.915) and low infrared emittance (0.245) at ambient temperatures, as well as excellent heat-collecting properties, which suggests that the structure of the Mn_0.6Ni_1.4Co₂O_y is maximally preserved.

Notably, the DSC results confirm that the introduction of Mn_0.6Ni_1.4Co₂O_y into the resin can strengthen the thermal stability of the coating, which is mainly attributed to the fact that Mn_0.6Ni_1.4Co₂O_y can effectively prevent the chain segment movement of the resin. Furthermore, the addition of low-emissivity aluminum powder further reduced the emissivity of the coating to 0.142 and the absorbance/emissivity ratio to 6.22 at room temperature. The coating demonstrated remarkable thermal stability and infrared stealth performance even at 300 °C, meeting the basic requirements of solar selective absorption. This work provides a low-cost and simple spray method for fabricating Mn_0.6Ni_1.4Co₂O_y solar selective absorption coating with great potential in high-temperature infrared stealth applications.

This study has been published in Progress in Organic Coatings, Volume 187, February 2024.

Hello, fellow The Morning Show fans. We're having a very good week right now, thanks to Jennifer Aniston, who just revealed that she's returned to filming for the series. Its second season was reportedly planned to debut last fall but was delayed multiple times due to the coronavirus pandemic. Now, however, things seem to be back on track (at least for the time being), if Aniston's latest Instagram posts are anything to go by. On January 27, the actor posted a selfie from what appears to be a dressing room alongside her long-term and masked-up hairstylist Chris McMillan.

"Aaand, we’re back…" Aniston wrote. She made sure to tag The Morning Show's official Instagram account in the post just to make sure we knew what she was teasing. Of course, this is an uber-exciting moment for fans of the show, considering we've been hanging off the edges of our seats since the first season ended in December 2019 — but let's talk about that hair for a moment. This could be a reach, but do I detect some fresh highlights near the front of Aniston's hair? You can tell me if I'm wrong, but it is looking slightly more platinum than her go-to honey-wheat blonde. 

Instagram content

This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from.

Whatever magic McMillan has infused into Aniston's hair for season two, it's working. The show might've left us at a cliffhanger (I won't even attempt to spoil it, but it did include a classic Reese Witherspoon meltdown), but that perpetually pretty hair could make it hard to pay attention to much else when we do get to watch it. Should we really expect anything else from the woman who inspired one of the most popular haircuts of the ‘90s? 

With the pandemic still afoot, there's no telling if Morning Show production will be delayed again — or when the series will be able to make its triumphant return. But at least we get to fawn over Aniston's hair in the meantime.

The researchers and co-founders of Surfunction, Prof. Dr. Frank Mücklich and Prof. Dr. Andrés Lasagni are award-winning inventors of the Direct Laser Interference Patterning (DLIP) technology platform. Saarland University and the Technical University of Dresden have been working together very successfully for many years. This special cooperation paved the way for the growth of Surfunction at the new location in Dresden.

“High-performance applications”

“With our subsidiary Surfunction Tec in Dresden, we particularly want to advance our technological expertise and the next xDLIP generation (extended Direct Laser Interference Patterning – Gen II). This generation of optics, which is now available, represents a breakthrough in optical functionality and compactness and will enable high-performance applications, for example in the fields of safety technology and hygiene. In the future, production is to take place at our new location in Dresden according to industrial standards,” says Dr. Dominik Britz, Managing Director Surfunction GmbH.

If you’ve noticed your hair is feeling thinner all of a sudden, you’re not alone. About half of the population will experience hair thinning at some point in their lives, and many will have to manage ongoing thinning and changes in their hair.

What might be causing your hair to feel thinner? Can thinning be prevented or treated? When should you see a doctor? Read on to understand some of the most common causes for hair thinning, plus find out what you can do to get thicker, fuller looking hair.

How to Tell If Your Hair Is Thinning

First things first: let’s talk about normal hair shedding. Hair shedding is a completely normal part of the healthy hair follicle’s cycle. Each follicle cycles through stages of active growth, rest and hair fall. On any given day you could lose 50-100 hairs and it’s completely normal.

Most people are in tune with their day-to-day shedding, so if you notice something looks (or feels) different, there is probably a good reason to pause and pay closer attention. 

So how can you tell if your hair is thinning? Here are a few signs to look for:

• Clumps of hair in your brush and shower drain
• Your ponytail feels smaller, and/or it takes more turns of your hair tie than it used to
• If you’re seeing more scalp than you’re used to when combing or sectioning hair, or if your part is widening
• Hair feels lighter or less dense
• Your hair just doesn’t hold heat styling as well as it used to

Why Might My Hair Be Thinning? 8 Possible Reasons 

Thinning can mean less actual hair on your scalp (less hair density), but it can also mean a change in individual strands’ thickness and texture. Both can make your hair feel thinner, and getting to the root of the problem is the first step to finding a solution. Here are a few of the major underlying causes of thinning hair:

1. Age & Genetics

Aging and genetics are the most common causes of thinning hair. Androgenetic alopecia, also known as pattern hair loss, affects about 50 million men and 30 million women in the United States. “This condition causes gradual hair thinning due to changes to the hair follicles over time,” said Dr. Edward Salko, a board-certified physician and the Medical Director of PERSONALABS™.

2. Hormones

Hormones play an important role in hair growth, and hormonal fluctuations can directly impact our follicles. Pregnancy, giving birth, starting or stopping birth control and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) can cause hormonal shifts that might cause hair thinning in women.

3. Stress

Stress can impact our health in many different ways, and hair health is no exception. The most common way stress impacts hair is by triggering a sudden bout of excessive hair shedding called telogen effluvium. This condition can make your hair noticeably thinner, but thankfully it’s a condition that is typically only temporary and resolves on its own.

4. Medical Conditions

A variety of health conditions could impact your hair follicles, though there are a handful of conditions that are most commonly associated with thinning.

“Autoimmune conditions can cause hair thinning or loss when immune cells attack your hair follicles, which leads to hair loss,”  said Dr. Salko. Conditions like alopecia areata and lupus could cause loss or thinning, but there are other autoimmune conditions that could impact follicles. Diabetes and thyroid disease like Hashimoto’s or Graves’ might also impact hair follicles.

5. Medications

While chemotherapy is perhaps the most well-known medication for causing hair loss, others might include:

• Thyroid medications
• Birth control pills or other forms of birth control
• Beta-blockers
• Anticonvulsants
• Antidepressants
• Anticoagulants (blood thinners)

If you’ve started a medication and are noticing a drastic increase in hair shedding or hair breakage, be sure to speak with your doctor before stopping or otherwise changing your regimen.

6. Nutritional Deficiencies

Another common source of increased hair fall or thinning could be an underlying deficiency. Since our hair follicles need a number of different vitamins, minerals and nutrients for optimal functioning, if any one nutrient is lacking it can take a toll on hair growth.

Deficiencies in iron, zinc, protein and B12 could be among the most common linked to hair shedding, but another vitamin deficiency could be at play, too. Eating a healthy balanced diet is the best way to give your body the nutrients it needs, but adding a hair-friendly supplement like a biotin-rich hair vitamin could be an additional way to support your return to hair health.

7. Harsh Hair Styling

How you care for and style our hair can also have direct impacts on your follicles.

“Traction alopecia is the consequence of having your hair pulled consistently due to tight hairstyles,” said Dr. Salko. Over time tight hairstyles like buns, braids and extensions can stress out follicles to the point where they might stop growing hair. This damage to follicles can be irreversible if your styling habits don’t change.

8. Seasonal Hair Loss

While there hasn’t been a lot of research looking specifically at the impact seasonal changes have on hair growth, there is a lot of anecdotal evidence supporting that some people experience increased hair shedding with changes in the seasons.

Can Hair Thinning Be Prevented? 

This really depends on what is causing the thinning to begin with. In some cases, focusing on a holistic approach to health that includes lots of sleep, exercise, a hair-friendly biotin supplement, stress management and a healthy diet could offer protection against some forms of thinning due to stress or nutritional deficiencies.

In other cases, if the underlying cause is a medical condition or a medication, addressing this head-on can often resolve thinning. Sometimes, however, thinning is a result of aging and genetics, a form of hair loss called androgenetic alopecia. While you cannot prevent hair loss in this case, there are several treatment options available for managing it.

Tips For Holistic Hair Health

One of the best ways to support optimal hair health and hair follicle function is to support your overall health and vitality. Hair health starts from the inside out!

How can you take a holistic approach to hair health? Hair experts agree on these pillars for general health and wellness:

• Get Good Sleep: Regular, adequate sleep is essential for healthy immune and brain function, clear skin, improved energy levels and, naturally, hair wellness.
• Manage Stress: Finding an accessible and enjoyable way to manage stress is vital, so experiment with getting more sunshine during the day and maybe even try meditation to help soothe your psyche and follicles.
• Exercise: Not only does exercise have myriad bodily benefits, but it also increases blood flow to your follicles for strong, healthy hair.
• Eat Well: A balanced and varied diet full of whole grains, leafy greens, healthy proteins and fats will keep your follicles nourished from the inside out. 
• Be Patient: It will take time to see new hair, so be patient as you’re waiting for new growth!
• Be Gentle: Keep harsh styling and chemicals to a minimum. Avoid hot tools. Use an all-natural, vegan moisturizing shampoo and conditioner designed to support thinning hair, and consider adding a serum for thinning hair to the mix to support your progress. Check out this before and after from a customer who used GRO Hair Serum consistently for over 90 days!

The Takeaway

Hair thinning can have several different underlying causes, some of which might require medical attention and/or ongoing management. If you think your hair is feeling thinner, your best bet is to consult with a dermatologist or your primary care doctor to uncover the root of the problem. You should also spend some time researching the best products for thinning hair and experiment to find what works best for you.

Regardless of the cause of thinner hair, you can support follicles by focusing on your overall health and wellness through sleep, exercise, diet and stress management.
