5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Evaluation of hair fibers properties treated with acid straightener at different pH values
This study found that the acidic hair straightening formulation at pH 1.0 improved hair alignments and straightening effectiveness more than pH 2.0, but it weakened fiber strength and affected hair color and composition.

research Formulation and Physicochemical Evaluation of a Coconut Oil-Based Synergistic Polyherbal Hair Oil
This study developed and evaluated a coconut oil-based polyherbal hair oil using various medicinal plants, finding it exhibited satisfactory physicochemical properties and stability, making it a promising hair care formulation, though further biological evaluation is needed to confirm therapeutic benefits.
research Formulation and Physicochemical Evaluation of a Coconut Oil-Based Synergistic Polyherbal Hair Oil
The researchers reported that a coconut oil-based polyherbal hair oil developed using traditional medicinal plants demonstrated satisfactory physicochemical properties, including stability and pH suitability for scalp application, though further biological evaluation is needed to confirm therapeutic effects.

5 / 650 resultscommunity B5 (Pantothenic acid), B7 (Biotin), B12
The conversation discusses the effects of B5 (Pantothenic acid), B7 (Biotin), and B12 on hair loss. Specific treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community Bile Acid-Mediated DHT Dysregulation Hypothesis
Elevated bile acids can inhibit the enzyme AKR1C2, leading to increased DHT levels, which may accelerate hair loss in those predisposed to androgenetic alopecia. Treatments mentioned include topical minoxidil and finasteride.
community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?
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 Dutasteride worked at 3x/week, then paradoxically got worse after upping to 5x/week — DHT went UP, not down
Increasing dutasteride from 3x to 5x a week led to worse hair loss and higher DHT levels, prompting a return to the original dosing. The user also uses topical minoxidil and is addressing a folic acid deficiency.
community A non-responder revisiting Minoxidil with Follica FR5 / FR10 / FR15
The user discusses using Follics FR5, FR10, and FR15, which combine Minoxidil, Adenosine, Procapil, Azelaic acid, and Procyanidin B2, to address hair loss. They have previously used Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Dutasteride with varying success.

5 / 39 results- Is azelaic acid a treatment on its own or does it need supplements? One small randomised trial (26 women, no placebo) found no significant difference between 5% azelaic acid and 2% minoxidil in female pattern hair loss, which is too small to show they work equally well, and the anti-DHT rationale otherwise rests on in-vitro work. Community members generally describe azelaic acid as an add-on to minoxidil or finasteride rather than a standalone treatment.
- azelaic acid: Does it work for all types of hair loss or just DHT? One small randomised trial (26 women, no placebo) found no significant difference between 5% azelaic acid and 2% minoxidil for female pattern hair loss, which is too small to show they work equally well, and the anti-DHT rationale rests on laboratory work. For alopecia areata, telogen effluvium and seborrhoeic dermatitis there is no trial evidence for azelaic acid at all.
- What happens if I mix azelaic acid with minoxidil or regular hair loss shampoos? No published study has tested azelaic acid combined with minoxidil or with hair-loss shampoos, and layering them can irritate the scalp. Mixing anything into a minoxidil solution changes the drug in untested ways, so ask a pharmacist before combining products.
