Hair: Its Structure and Response to Cosmetic Preparations

    January 1996 in “ Clinics in dermatology ”

    TLDR Hair can be damaged by daily routines, but protein-based products can protect and improve it.
    The document "Hair: Its structure and response to cosmetic preparations" from 1996 discussed the structural properties of hair and how it responded to various cosmetic treatments. It reviewed the composition and keratinization of hair, highlighting structural abnormalities such as trichorrhexis nodosa and trichoptilosis. The paper also examined the effects of shampooing and other cosmetic processes on hair integrity, including issues like matting and bubble hair. The study provided insights into the physical and chemical behavior of hair, contributing to a better understanding of hair care and treatment.

      Minoxidil with alcohol and propylene glycol was more effective than non-alcohol versions, and RU58841 worked best in a non-water-based solution. Oral finasteride showed better results than topical, despite side effects; microneedling and tretinoin worsened hair loss, and PRP was only helpful when younger.

      Procapil is marketed as a natural hair loss treatment but lacks strong evidence and is industry-biased. Minoxidil and Finasteride are the only FDA-approved treatments for androgenetic alopecia.
