This study found that hair luster decreases with age in Japanese females, primarily due to an irregular increase in fiber curvature which affects hair alignment.
This study introduces a modular fiber model to investigate how changes in microstructural properties of wool affect its critical buckling load, highlighting potential uses and areas needing further research in wool fiber biophysics.
This study examined hair classification based on geo-racial origin, observing that Caucasian and Mediterranean hair differs morphologically from African or Asian hair, with differences in density, thickness, and fiber shape contributing to varied hair characteristics such as color and curliness.

In this study, hair samples from Mexican women were found to be intermediate in diameter and shape between Asian and Caucasian hair, exhibiting high intra- and inter-individual variability and unexpected levels of tensile damage.
Curved hair transplantation requires specialized tools and techniques to avoid damaging hair follicles, with modified FUE being the preferred method. Proper extraction and implantation angles are crucial to prevent complications like keloids and sterile folliculitis.
A person shared their hair regrowth journey using HIMS topical treatments with finasteride, minoxidil, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and microneedling. They also discussed their transition as a transgender woman and the positive impact of HRT on hair recovery.
Creatine is not proven to cause hair loss, but some report increased shedding, especially with male pattern baldness. Finasteride or minoxidil are suggested to counteract potential hair loss while using creatine.
Minoxidil alone is often insufficient for treating hair loss because it doesn't address the DHT-related cause. Combining it with finasteride, a DHT blocker, is generally more effective.
A user is advocating for Phase 3 trials of the hair loss treatment PP405 to be conducted in Germany, citing benefits like a diverse patient base and faster access for European patients. Despite skepticism about the petition's influence, the user believes it can demonstrate significant interest and potentially influence strategic decisions.
