research Hair care practices and structural evaluation of scalp and hair shaft parameters in African American and Caucasian women

25 citations , August 2015 in “Journal of cosmetic dermatology”

This study observed significant differences in hair care practices and biologic hair parameters between Caucasian and African American women, which may contribute to varying hair fragility and growth.

research TrichoScan®: A useful method for measuring hair growth parameters and enhancing patient selection for hair restoration surgery

1 citations , March 2009 in “Hair transplant forum international”

This article reviews optimal patient selection and donor site quality for successful hair transplant procedures, but reports no new clinical findings.

research Effects of Flutamide, a pure antiandrogen, on endocrine parameters, in the adult female rat

8 citations , January 1987 in “Gynecological Endocrinology”

This study found that treatment with the pure antiandrogen Flutamide did not affect the estrous cycle or plasma levels of most hormones in female rats, supporting its potential use for treating hirsutism, acne, and alopecia in women.

Evaluation of Sensory Parameters and Tensile Strength on Damaged Hair After Ten Washes With Mintop Shampoo: An In Vitro Study

research Evaluation of sensory parameters and tensile strength on damaged hair after ten washes with Mintop shampoo: in vitro study

October 2023 in “International journal of research in dermatology”

This study found that after using Mintop Shampoo for 10 wash cycles, significant improvements in hair detangling, combability, static reduction, shine, softness, smoothness, bounce, tensile strength, and percentage elongation were observed compared to the initial damaged state.

research Mathematical Modeling of Alopecia Areata: Unraveling Hair Cycle Dynamics, Disease Progression, and Treatment Strategies

January 2024 in “Research Square”

In this study, researchers developed a mathematical model to explore how immune system dynamics affect hair follicle behavior in alopecia areata, identifying key parameters influencing disease progression and suggesting potential treatment strategies targeting immune dysregulation.

community Why does the age of hair loss matter?

38 upvotes 1 week ago

Age affects hair loss severity and treatment effectiveness, with younger individuals often experiencing more aggressive loss but potentially better regrowth due to less follicle miniaturization. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are commonly used, and early intervention is crucial for better outcomes.

community Taking Charge of Your Hair: The "Big 3 Stack" Explained for 2023

129 upvotes 3 years ago

The "Big 3 Stack" for hair loss treatment, which includes Minoxidil for hair density improvement, Ketoconazole shampoo for enhancing hair volume and thickness, and Finasteride for blocking hair loss causing hormones. Microneedling can boost Minoxidil's effects.

community Why did this recent research paper from professor Tsuji lab in Japan largely go unnoticed by this sub? Isn't this discovery huge? (hair cloning)

35 upvotes 4 months ago

A recent discovery in hair cloning identified a previously unknown cell type essential for hair follicle growth, which could potentially make lab-grown hair viable if translated to humans. However, skepticism remains due to past delays and the challenges of replicating results in humans and making the process affordable.

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 5 years apart on 1.25mg finasteride and 5mg oral minoxidil daily

3325 upvotes 11 months ago

Significant hair improvement was achieved using 1.25mg finasteride and 5mg oral minoxidil daily, with no side effects. The user increased the minoxidil dosage to 7.5mg after noticing minor thinning and plans to continue the routine.

learn Hair Transplant

What happens after a hair transplant? Expect mild swelling and redness, with new hair growth starting in 3 to 6 months.
When will I see new hair growth after a hair transplant? New hair growth usually starts 2-4 months after a hair transplant.

learn Cyproterone

How long does it take for cyproterone to work on hair loss? There is no reliable published figure for how fast cyproterone works on hair loss: the hair cycle means nothing shows for months, the one randomised trial assessed women at twelve months, and community reports range from about six months to two years — with some people seeing no change at all.

learn horsetail extract

How long should you use horsetail extract before noticing stronger or thicker hair? No published trial has tested horsetail extract for hair thinning, so no evidence-based timeline exists; the hair cycle means any supplement needs at least three months, and more realistically five to six, before a change could be visible at all.

learn Rapamycin

Is rapamycin safe for long-term use on the scalp, or should it be used in cycles? There is no published human trial of topical rapamycin on the scalp, so nobody knows whether long-term use is safe; the idea of cycling it comes from community practice and theory, not from any study or guideline, and rapamycin for hair loss is an off-label use of a prescription immunosuppressant.
