learn Sulforaphane

How does sulforaphane help protect hair follicles from inflammation and damage? Sulforaphane may protect hair follicles by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress.

learn Cetirizine

popular antihistamine showing promise for hair loss as an anti-inflammatory and prostaglandin inhibitor

How does cetirizine reduce inflammation linked to hair loss? Cetirizine is proposed to lower prostaglandin D2 and raise prostaglandin E2 around hair follicles; three small trials of a compounded 1% topical report modest increases in hair density and shaft thickness, with minoxidil doing better head-to-head. Topical cetirizine is off-label and unapproved for hair loss, and the evidence is too thin to call it effective or safe.

learn Ginkgo biloba

Can ginkgo biloba reduce scalp inflammation that contributes to hair loss? Ginkgo biloba may help reduce scalp inflammation, potentially benefiting hair loss.

learn Hydrocortisone

Is hydrocortisone effective for stopping inflammation that blocks hair growth? Sources describe hydrocortisone as a short-course treatment for scalp inflammation such as seborrhoeic dermatitis or eczema, and no verified trial tests it as a hair-regrowth treatment; the corticosteroids used for alopecia areata are the potent prescription ones, and prolonged use of any topical steroid on the scalp risks skin thinning.
