A successful enzyme depilation system needs a broad-spectrum protease that doesn't harm collagen VI.
research Folklore Herbal Plants as a Safe and Natural Hair Depilatories
Herbal depilatories are safer and cause fewer side effects than chemical ones for hair removal.
research Using Proteomics to Compare the Molecular Structures of Sulfide and Permeate-Depilated Sheepskins
The conclusion is that using bovine milk permeate to remove wool from sheepskins is eco-friendly and results in smoother, higher quality leather compared to traditional sulfide methods.

5 / 52 resultscommunity P-1075: a BETTER version of Minoxidil
P-1075 is a more potent hair growth agent than Minoxidil, but it poses significant heart risks, making it unsafe for use. Despite promising results in macaques, concerns about its cardiotoxicity in rats have halted its development.
community Quit vaping/smoking = 80% less loss
Quitting vaping significantly reduced hair loss for a user who was a heavy vaper and also taking finasteride. Some participants suggest nicotine's vasoconstrictive properties may worsen hair loss, while others share personal anecdotes of hair improvement after quitting smoking or vaping.
community UPDATE: The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!
Hair loss theory involves 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase (3AHD) converting DHT to androstenol. Discussion explores potential treatments and encourages more research.
community Is it a normal shed or is it fin not working (or making things worse)
The user experienced hair shedding after switching from minoxidil to finasteride and is considering switching to dutasteride or stopping pills altogether. They also stopped using a specific shampoo with probiotics, enzymatic exfoliator, zinc, and panthenol.
community I literally can’t find any evidence of sulfotransferase being upregulated by microneedling or retinoids like tretinoin
Microneedling and tretinoin may enhance minoxidil absorption for hair loss, but evidence on their effectiveness is limited. Iron supplements and broccoli sprouts are suggested for enzyme activation, but their impact on hair is unclear.
