    TLDR Sandalore® improves hair growth and quality in people with hair loss.
    The study demonstrated that the topical application of Sandalore®, an agonist of the olfactory receptor OR2AT4, significantly improved parameters associated with telogen effluvium, a form of hair loss. Participants reported decreased hair shedding, increased hair growth, stronger and denser hair, and overall better hair quality. Objective measurements confirmed these improvements, showing significant increases in hair volume, the ratio of terminal to vellus hairs, and the percentage of anagen (growth phase) hair follicles. The findings suggested that Sandalore® could be an effective treatment for telogen effluvium, highlighting the potential of olfactory receptor agonists in hair growth and hair loss treatments.

      A YouTuber named Kevin, also known as Rider_Of_Roach, who deleted his YouTube channel due to personal attacks and controversy surrounding his views on hair loss treatments. He advocated for FDA-approved treatments like finasteride and minoxidil but faced backlash from those who disagreed with him. The conversation also discusses his past trolling behavior and a lawsuit he filed against a website that published false information about him.
