    TLDR The new hair treatment significantly reduces hair shedding safely.
    This study evaluated the efficacy of a novel topical formulation, DA-OTC-002, combining synephrine and TAAR agonists, in reducing hair shedding in women. Seventy-six female participants applied DA-OTC-002 to one side of their scalp and a placebo to the other for 5 minutes. The results showed a significant reduction in hair shedding on the treated side, with an average reduction of 62.5% compared to the placebo side. Specifically, the treatment group shed 13.63 ± 11.28 hairs versus 36.26 ± 12.74 hairs in the control group, a mean difference of 22.63 hairs (95% CI 19.25-26.01, p < 0.0001). No adverse events were reported, suggesting that the combined formulation is effective and safe for reducing hair shedding. Future research should explore its efficacy in combination with minoxidil.

      Oral minoxidil and vitamins reduced shedding for one user. Others distrust dermatologists and prefer personal research on treatments like finasteride and microneedling.
