research Birth Type Lastingly Programs Secondary Hair Follicle Population and Cashmere Production in Cashmere Goats Despite Full Somatic Catch-Up Growth

July 2026 in “Animals”

This study found that single-born cashmere goats had higher birth weights, pre-weaning growth rates, and superior cashmere production attributes compared to twin-born goats, despite twin-born goats achieving compensatory growth post-weaning.

research Alopecia as a rare but distinct manifestation of pemphigus vulgaris

23 citations , November 2011 in “Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology”

This study observed that in pemphigus vulgaris patients, hair loss and alopecic patches may result from anti-desmoglein autoantibody-mediated acantholysis and inflammatory changes, leading to non-scarring alopecia with potential for regrowth after treatment.

community NMN Promotes Cell Proliferation and Hair Growth by Reducing Oxidative Stress

14 upvotes 2 years ago

NMN shows promise in promoting hair growth by reducing oxidative stress and weakening androgens. It may be a beneficial addition to hair loss treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.

community Why aren't they researching how to make Minoxidil's effect permanent instead of it weaning off over time?

52 upvotes 1 month ago

Minoxidil's effects on hair regrowth diminish over time because it doesn't address the root cause of hair loss, and its mechanism isn't fully understood. Combining it with treatments like finasteride or dutasteride can help maintain its effectiveness, but permanent solutions are unlikely due to the complexity of hair loss biology.

community Intermittent fasting reduces hair growth?!? :(

35 upvotes 1 year ago

Intermittent fasting may inhibit hair growth by triggering a stress response that affects hair-follicle stem cells. Some users believe genetics and DHT play a larger role in hair loss, and treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride are mentioned as ineffective for some.

community 30M Using Rosemary Oil, Starting Microneedling – Frequency and Combination Advice Needed

in Microneedling 122 upvotes 10 months ago

A 30-year-old is using rosemary oil and starting microneedling to address weakening hair, seeking advice on frequency and combination. Another user suggests using finasteride and minoxidil for better results, criticizing the effectiveness of rosemary oil and emphasizing the importance of understanding hair loss causes.

community Hair greed made me switch to Dut too early

in Chat 42 upvotes 1 year ago

The user switched from finasteride to dutasteride for hair loss but faced increased shedding and anxiety, regretting not staying with finasteride longer. Other users shared mixed experiences, advising patience with dutasteride, as it may take up to a year to show results.

learn Niacinamide

Does niacinamide support hair follicle nutrition? Niacinamide is a precursor of NAD+, a molecule cells use for energy. Whether it affects hair follicles in people has not been tested.

learn Scalp Micropigmentation

Will scalp micropigmentation damage my existing hair or follicles? Providers say SMP sits above the hair follicles and does not harm them. No study has tested this, and infection or scarring from any tattoo can affect the skin.

learn Sulforaphane

Can sulforaphane protect hair follicles from inflammation and damage? In lab and mouse studies, sulforaphane reduced markers of inflammation and oxidative stress. No human study has tested whether it protects hair follicles.

learn Fluridil

Can daily Fluridil application stop hair follicle miniaturization? The single published fluridil trial (43 men; placebo-controlled for 3 months, then all on fluridil to 9 months) reported more hairs in the growth phase, but it never measured follicle diameter and has not been replicated — so whether daily use stops miniaturization is unproven, and community users describe stabilization rather than regrowth.

learn Folic acid

How does folic acid support hair follicle health and growth at a cellular level? Folate is required for the DNA synthesis that fast-dividing hair matrix cells depend on, and severe deficiency causes anemia—but no published trial has given folic acid to people with hair loss and measured the result, so a growth effect is a mechanism, not a finding.
