    TLDR The shampoo's ingredients' effect on a hair growth pathway in cells was tested, but the results are not given.
    The study aimed to evaluate the effect of a combination of six active ingredients in an anti-hair loss shampoo on the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in human hair follicle dermal papilla cells (HHFDPCs). The Wnt/β-catenin pathway is essential for hair growth as it influences stem cell renewal and the production of factors necessary for hair follicle development. The active ingredients tested were biotin, hydrolyzed wheat protein, dexpanthenol, pyridoxine, tocopheryl nicotinate, and ruscus extract. The study was conducted in vitro, meaning it was performed with cells outside their normal biological context. The document does not provide the results or the number of samples tested, so the effectiveness of the shampoo ingredients on the Wnt/β-catenin pathway activation cannot be determined from the summary provided.

      The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.

      The conversation discusses making a topical melatonin solution for hair loss treatment, questioning if isopropyl alcohol can dissolve melatonin. Melatonin is soluble in lipids and alcohol, but it's unstable and should be mixed fresh regularly; it may help hair growth by affecting certain cellular signaling pathways and has anti-androgenic effects.

      A 48-year-old man has been using minoxidil for 15 years and considered finasteride but stopped due to potential side effects. He is concerned about his mental health and the impact of hair loss on self-image, and he encourages support among men experiencing hair loss.
