Scalp Condition Impacts Hair Growth And Retention Via Oxidative Stress

    Ralph M. Trüeb, Jim P Henry, Mike G. Davis, Jim R. Schwartz
    TLDR Healthy scalp reduces hair loss by managing oxidative stress.
    The study concluded that oxidative stress on the scalp significantly affected hair growth and retention, with poor scalp conditions leading to hair follicle damage and hair loss. It emphasized the importance of maintaining a healthy scalp environment to promote hair growth and prevent hair loss. The findings suggested that treatments targeting oxidative stress, such as shampoos containing zinc pyrithione, could be beneficial. The document reviewed various scalp conditions like dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis, all associated with oxidative stress and negatively affecting hair health. The study underscored the importance of managing oxidative stress to support healthy hair growth and prevent premature hair loss.

      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.

      community Vitamin C and hair growth PH levels

      in Product  31 upvotes 3 years ago
      The conversation is about using vitamin C and Magnesium L-Threonate for hair growth by reducing DHT binding to dermal papilla cells. The original post about vitamin C's pH levels and sebum control was possibly removed by a moderator.

      community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

      in Research/Science  140 upvotes 11 months ago
      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.

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

      in Research/Science  9 upvotes 5 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).
