5 / 1000+ results research A chemist's view of the analysis of human hair for trace elements
This paper reviews chemical analysis methods for trace elements in human hair and supports a no-wash policy due to challenges in distinguishing between endogenous and exogenous element sources.
research A Photo-Crosslinked Casein-Tannic Acid System for Enhanced Hair Protection: A Green Chemistry Approach
In this study, researchers developed an environmentally friendly hair coating from casein proteins and tannic acid, enhancing the tensile strength of virgin Asian hair by approximately 21% compared to untreated hair, while maintaining elasticity.
research Measuring changes in chemistry, composition, and molecular structure within hair fibers by infrared and Raman spectroscopic imaging
This study demonstrates that spatially resolved IR and Raman imaging can effectively reveal the molecular structure and composition of untreated human hair, providing insights into its chemistry and structural integrity.
research Green chemistry in hair care: A review on the formulation, efficacy, and safety profile of herbal shampoos
This review suggests that standardized herbal shampoos may offer a safe and sustainable alternative to synthetic products due to their natural saponins and multifunctional benefits, though challenges in consistency and shelf-life persist.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Hair loss research focused on chemistry for decades because we misunderstood the mechanics of growth.
Hair growth relies on mechanical forces, not just chemicals, with tissue acting like a motor. Minoxidil and finasteride help, but maintaining tissue elasticity and addressing mechanical issues are essential.
community Any chemists want to manufacture PP405 / JXL069? (Steps inside)
The conversation discusses the potential of PP405 as a hair loss treatment, with some users expressing skepticism and others hopeful about its development. There is also mention of other treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Pyrilutamide, with users debating the effectiveness and safety of self-experimentation versus waiting for clinical trial results.
community Any chemists want to manufacture PP405 / JXL069? (Steps inside)
The conversation discusses the synthesis and potential use of JXL069 and PP405 for hair loss treatment, with skepticism about their effectiveness and concerns about safety. Users mention that JXL069 has shown no results in hair growth, and there is confusion about its identity and effectiveness compared to PP405.
community Here’s the rundown on scalp serums from a former cosmetic chemist
Most scalp serums are ineffective for hair loss, with Nécessaire’s “The Scalp Serum” being the only one showing noticeable results, though it's not worth the cost. For androgenetic alopecia, clinical treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are necessary, while caffeine and capixyl may offer some benefits.
community Thinking of making my own Breezula. Any advice?
OP is considering making a 5% topical Clascoterone (Breezula) for hair loss, as they use Minoxidil but can't use Finasteride due to side effects. They seek advice on creating the topical safely, possibly with help from a trained chemist.

4 / 801 results- Do hair fibers really make thinning hair look fuller, or is it just an illusion? Hair fibers create an optical illusion of fullness but do not actually thicken hair.
- How do you apply hair fibers correctly so they stay in place all day? Apply hair fibers to clean, dry hair and use a setting spray for better hold.
- Can hair fibers be used along with medical treatments like minoxidil or finasteride? Yes, hair fibers can be used with minoxidil or finasteride without any chemical interaction.
