TLDR Hair dye colors mainly target melanin granules in black hair.

The study investigated the distribution of colored chromophores formed by oxidative hair dyes in human hair using deuterium-labeled dyes and nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS). The results showed that these chromophores were intensely localized in melanin granules, indicating that melanin granules are crucial dyeing regions for oxidative hair coloring. This finding was supported by the detection of deuterium ions in particulate regions identified as melanin granules. The study demonstrated that NanoSIMS is a powerful tool for examining the interactions of cosmetic ingredients with the fine structure of human hair.

community Is 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) good for human hair?

in Research/Science 9 upvotes 2 months ago

Topical 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) regrows hair in mice almost as well as 2% Minoxidil. However, 2dDR may contribute to oxidative stress and hair loss due to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs).

community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

in Research 692 upvotes 3 months ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
