      community Peppermint oil for Hair Thickness

      in Research/Science  2 upvotes 2 weeks ago
      Peppermint oil may increase hair thickness more effectively than minoxidil, but its effects are mostly studied in animals. Users report mixed results, with some seeing no regrowth and others noting slight improvements when combined with other treatments.

      community Better Than Minoxidil? Topical Sodium Valproate

      in Research/Science  51 upvotes 9 months ago
      Topical sodium valproate may promote hair growth by inhibiting GSK3β, allowing beta-catenin to proliferate, but it has potential side effects and requires more research. The conversation also mentions skepticism about a product called Vdphlo1, which includes sodium valproate and other ingredients.

      community DLQ01: A Better "Minoxidil" PGF2a synthetic analogue.

      in Research/Science  3 upvotes 9 months ago
      DLQ01, a prostaglandin F2α analog, shows promise for hair growth by directly stimulating PGE2/PGF receptors without needing conversion, and can be combined with minoxidil and retinoids like tretinoin for enhanced effectiveness. Minoxidil's efficacy may be reduced by COX-1 inhibitors, but using prostaglandin analogs like Latanoprost or Bimatoprost can help maintain its effectiveness.
