TLDR Human hair has bipolar electrical charges due to gaps in the hair follicle's electromagnetic fields.

The study explores the presence of bipolar electrical charges in human hair shafts, proposing that these charges result from a gap in the bioelectromagnetic fields of hair follicles. Using advanced magnetometers and optical microscopy, researchers documented the bipolar nature of hair shafts, which exhibit a positive side that induces blood coagulation. This phenomenon was supported by experiments showing the rejection of negatively charged blood tissue by the hair shaft. The findings suggest that the hair follicle's bioelectromagnetic fields do not fully engulf the shaft, leading to its bipolarity.

community Better Than Minoxidil? Topical Sodium Valproate

in Research/Science 53 upvotes 2 months ago

Topical sodium valproate may promote hair growth by inhibiting GSK3β, allowing beta-catenin to proliferate, but it has potential side effects and requires more research. The conversation also mentions skepticism about a product called Vdphlo1, which includes sodium valproate and other ingredients.

community VDPHL-01 is Overrated and Ridiculous. This is just Oral Minoxidil.

in Research/Science 22 upvotes 2 months ago

VDPHL-01 is essentially a slow-release oral minoxidil, which is already known to work for hair growth. The formulation includes other ingredients like Medrogestone, Valproic acid, Setipiprant, and Cetirizine, but their effectiveness and necessity are questioned.

community Topical Finasteride Doesn't Directly Reduce 5ar Enzyme on Scalp

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 72 upvotes 1 year ago

Topical Finasteride doesn't directly reduce 5ar enzyme on scalp and has the same mechanism as oral, needing to go through the liver. Users debate the accuracy of this information and discuss various studies and experiences.

How people's hair is compared to their fathers' at the same age, with some users noting that they have inherited different genes from either parent and are using treatments such as finasteride for hair loss.

community I think we all hop on estrogen. It's the only angle

in Satire 83 upvotes 8 months ago

The conversation humorously discusses hair loss treatments, including Minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, and topical 17 alpha estradiol, with some users joking about transitioning to female to avoid baldness. The overall tone is satirical, emphasizing self-acceptance and the lengths people might consider for hair restoration.
