research Impact of acid straightener's pH value in the hair fiber properties
In this study, tresses treated with pH 1.0 acid straightener showed better straightening but more damage to hair properties compared to those treated with pH 2.0.

5 / 1000+ results research 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 Acid phosphatase distribution in the wool follicle. III. Fate of organelles in keratinized cells
This study identified the presence of recognizable organelles, such as lysosomes and mitochondria, in both the keratinized fiber and the hardened inner root sheath of the Romney wool follicle.
research Distribution of acid and alkaline phosphatases in canine skin.
This study found that acid and alkaline phosphatases serve different functions in Beagle dog skin, with ALP primarily involved in growth processes and ACP in phospholipid breakdown.
research A comparative clinical study to assess the effectiveness of homoeopathic constitutional medicine and acid phos in the management of alopecia areata
This study observed greater clinical improvement in patients with alopecia areata who received individualized homoeopathic constitutional treatment compared to those who received Acid Phos, but further research with objective measures is needed to confirm these findings.

5 / 51 results- Is azelaic acid a treatment on its own or does it need supplements? One small randomised trial (26 women) found 5% azelaic acid comparable to 2% minoxidil in female pattern hair loss, 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) found 5% azelaic acid comparable to 2% minoxidil for female pattern hair loss, 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? Mixing azelaic acid with minoxidil or hair loss shampoos is generally safe and may enhance effectiveness.

5 / 759 resultscommunity Got my Oleic fatty acid they used in Korean study. Fuck you mice!
Oleic acid and microneedling are being explored for hair regrowth, but results are mixed. Addressing DHT and fibrosis is crucial, with treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and scalp massage also discussed.
community Adipocyte lipolysis activates epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration through fatty acid metabolic signaling
Fatty acid metabolic signaling can activate epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration. Oleic and palmitoleic acids showed the best results, but practical application on humans remains uncertain.
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 Stop Using Salicylic acid on your face if using minoxidil for beard growth
Salicylic acid can reduce the effectiveness of minoxidil for beard growth. Users discuss avoiding salicylic acid when using minoxidil.
community Can amino acids help with AGA
Amino acids like lysine, methionine, and cysteine may help with androgenetic alopecia when taken in high doses along with a DHT blocker. Users discuss combining these with treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
