    TLDR Angora goats produce more hair faster than Cashmere goats.
    The study compared fibre production and protein deposition in secondary hair follicles of Angora and Cashmere goats using in vitro techniques. Angora goats produced mohair year-round with growth rates of 0.5-1.0 mm/day and annual yields of 2-3 kg, while Cashmere goats produced down seasonally with growth rates of 0.3-0.7 mm/day and annual yields typically less than 100 g. The research examined the effects of prolactin and melatonin on protein deposition in these follicles, highlighting differences in fibre production due to seasonal stimuli and hormonal influences.

      The conversation discusses various treatments for hair loss, including finasteride, minoxidil, dutasteride, microneedling, and checking for nutrient deficiencies. Some users suggest adding hydrocortisone butyrate, low-dose progesterone, or tretinoin to treatment regimens, while others recommend cosmetic solutions like Toppik hair fibers or shaving the head.

      The user has been using finasteride, dutasteride, and RU58841 for hair loss without success and feels extremely uncomfortable with their appearance, including being bald and short. They express deep unhappiness and social isolation. Suggestions from others include adopting stoicism, focusing on personal development, considering a hair system, improving fashion, working out, and seeking therapy for mental health.

      The user is struggling with hair loss despite using finasteride, minoxidil, and ketoconazole, and addressing vitamin D and ferritin deficiencies. They experienced a temporary improvement but are now shedding hair again and feeling stressed.
