research DSC-investigations of alpha-keratins and the specific effects of chemical treatments on human hair

January 2006

This study found that, compared to oxidative treatments, reductive perm-waving more severely impacts the intermediate filaments in European human hair, while both treatments alter denaturation kinetics in a first-order manner.

research Effects of repeated exposure to ozonated water on hair fibre structure and integrity: Part I

May 2026 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science”

This study found that repeated exposure to ozonated water caused oxidative changes in hair proteins, lipids, and pigments, leading to altered hair properties, with minimal effects on shine and color.

research Physico-chemical properties of modern cosmetics for styling and their effect on hair structure

April 2026

This study found that modern styling cosmetics can significantly alter hair structure through changes in interfacial chemistry and cohesion, particularly when applied to already damaged hair.

research Alkylation of human hair keratin for tunable hydrogel erosion and drug delivery in tissue engineering applications

75 citations , September 2015 in “Acta biomaterialia”

This study found that alkylation of kerateine cysteine residues created a cell-compatible method for controlling hydrogel erosion rates and therapeutic agent release in keratin-based systems.

research Evaluation of Cysteic Acid in Bleached Hair Using Infrared Spectroscopy

8 citations , January 2016 in “Journal of fiber science and technology”

This study found that cysteic acid generation during hair bleaching is diffusion-controlled, increasing with the square root of bleaching time, in both cuticles and cortex of human hair fibers.

community Creatine Does Not Increase DHT And Does Not Cause Hair Loss - Randomized Controlled Trial

308 upvotes 1 year ago

Creatine does not increase DHT levels or cause hair loss. Personal experiences vary, but scientific evidence shows no link between creatine and hair loss.

community Phase 3 Study for PP405 officially posted

43 upvotes 5 days ago

PP405 is in a phase 3 trial for hair loss treatment, with the study expected to run until June 2028. Minoxidil and finasteride remain key treatments, with hopes for PP405 to offer a new mechanism of action.

community The Real Reason For Hair Loss?

8 months ago

Hair loss is linked to scalp fibrosis and tension, which result from chronic mechanical stress and androgenic signaling. Treatments include blocking androgens with finasteride, promoting hair growth with topical minoxidil, and improving scalp mobility through exercises.

community DHT and 5AR respect post, it's importance within the brain

in Research/Science 111 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses whether to use finasteride for hair loss, considering its role in inhibiting DHT and 5AR, which can affect brain function and mood. Some users report anxiety and depression from finasteride, while others do not experience these side effects and emphasize the importance of DHT for brain and prostate health.

community Prolactin the Cause of Hair Loss? ABS-201 the Cure?

29 upvotes 2 months ago

Prolactin may contribute to hair loss, but targeting its receptor won't cure androgenetic alopecia. ABS-201 could be a useful alternative or adjuvant therapy, similar to JAK inhibitors, but not more effective than HMI-115.
