research Techniques for the discovery and evaluation of drugs against alopecia
This review discusses techniques and models for assessing hair growth activity but reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing the need for standardization and improved animal models.
research Test activity of hair tonic of ethyl acetate fraction from the ethanol extract of meniran (Phyllanthus niruri L.) as hair grower to male white rat (Rattus norvegicus) wistar strain
This study found no significant differences in hair growth between two formulas of hair tonic from meniran extract, one with a menthol enhancer, despite variations in hair length and weight measurements.
research Hair diameter measurement methods: micrometer caliper versus phototrichogram
This study found that measuring hair thickness with a phototrichogram provided significantly thicker readings than using a micrometer caliper, suggesting that the phototrichogram may be more clinically useful for evaluating hair in patients undergoing hair transplantation.
research Evaluation method of the degree of hair damage. (I). Measurement of tensile strength of human hair by "the multi-point tension test method".
This study used a multi-point tension test method to evaluate hair damage over time and found it useful for assessing the effects of cosmetics and metal content on hair strength.

Coffee may negatively impact hair health due to its vasoconstrictor effects, potential to increase DHT, and interference with nutrient absorption. There is no strong clinical evidence linking caffeine to hair loss or regrowth in humans, but moderation is advised.
community Finastride hair texture change is wild
Finasteride changed the user's hair texture from wavy to curly, reverting after stopping. Minoxidil was more effective for temple hair regrowth than finasteride.
community Hair greed made me switch to Dut too early
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.
community Regrew all my hair back and dead areas
A user regrew all their hair, including temples and bald spots, after one year of finasteride and six months of oral minoxidil. They noted finasteride helped with the crown and bald spot, while minoxidil regrew the hairline and temples.
community Creatine, my hair loss, and my DHT levels. An anecdote with lab values.
Increased hair loss after starting a 10g daily creatine regimen, possibly linked to elevated DHT levels despite dutasteride use. Stopping creatine reduced shedding, but the exact cause is uncertain, with discussions on exercise and lifestyle impacts.
