Did you mean Hair Cycle Synchronization?

Glossary Hair Cycle Synchronization

process where hair follicles enter same growth phase together

Hair Cycle Synchronization refers to the process where hair follicles on the scalp or other parts of the body enter the same phase of the hair growth cycle simultaneously. This can be induced by certain treatments or conditions and is often used in research to study hair growth patterns or in clinical settings to manage hair loss conditions like alopecia. For example, synchronizing hair follicles to the anagen (growth) phase can help in evaluating the effectiveness of hair growth treatments.

community SCUBE3 and GT20029 could be the closet thing to a cure: Hair Follicle Regeneration and Protection Against DHT

14 upvotes 3 years ago

SCUBE3 and GT20029 are potential treatments for hair loss, with SCUBE3 stimulating hair growth and GT20029 protecting against DHT. A combined approach using SCUBE3, finasteride or dutasteride, and later GT20029 could provide a comprehensive treatment for androgenetic alopecia.

community Extreme shedding after ~1 year on 5% topical minoxidil — normal or problem?

4 upvotes 7 months ago

A 17-year-old using 5% topical minoxidil experienced significant hair shedding after a year, possibly due to a "synchronization shed" and deficiencies in vitamin D and iron. Recommendations include continuing minoxidil, optimizing vitamin D and iron levels, and reducing tretinoin use if scalp irritation occurs.

community Accelerated Hair Loss from Creatine

137 upvotes 10 months ago

Creatine may cause hair loss in some individuals, especially those on finasteride, despite no scientific link. Personal experiences suggest individual sensitivity to DHT could be a factor.
