    TLDR Camellia japonica fruit shell extract may help reduce hair loss by promoting hair cell growth and reducing stress effects.
    The study investigates the potential of Camellia japonica fruit shell extract (CJFSE) in mitigating hair loss. The research demonstrated that CJFSE promotes the proliferation of hair follicle dermal papilla cells (HFDPCs) and increases spheroid size. It upregulates the expression of VEGF-A, Wnt-1, c-Myc, and Cyclin D1, which are crucial for hair growth. CJFSE also inhibits 5α-reductase activity and counters the negative effects of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) on cell proliferation, Dkk-1 secretion, and β-galactosidase activity. Additionally, CJFSE exhibits antioxidant properties by scavenging DPPH and reducing hydrogen peroxide-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. The presence of gallic acid and protocatechuic acid in CJFSE was confirmed through HPLC analysis. Overall, CJFSE shows promise in alleviating hair loss by enhancing hair cell growth and reducing the impact of DHT and oxidative stress.

      A product that makes hair look thicker and healthier without promoting regrowth. Discussions include treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, red light therapy, and a serum with caffeine and peptides, with mixed effectiveness opinions.

      community Any young women losing hair that have tried microneedling and oils?

      in Microneedling  31 upvotes 5 years ago
      A 25-year-old woman is experiencing hair loss and has started microneedling with a 0.5mm roller, applying a mix of essential oils overnight. She questions whether to switch to a 1.5mm roller and the best order for her routine, while a reply suggests using Minoxidil for better results.
