Glossary Hair Lipids

natural oils and fats essential for hair health

Hair lipids are natural oils and fats found in and on the hair shaft. They play a crucial role in maintaining hair health by providing moisture, enhancing shine, and protecting against environmental damage. These lipids include sebum produced by the scalp, as well as ceramides and fatty acids that are integral to the hair's structure and barrier function.

Dutasteride side effects: what the label and studies actually report The Avodart label reports impotence in 4.7% and decreased libido in 3.0% of men in the first six months (1.7% and 1.4% on placebo), with new reports falling after month six; those figures come from BPH trials in older men, and the hair-loss trials in younger men run only six months. The label and studies also flag a PSA drop of about half, a small rise in high-grade prostate cancer in one trial, an observational link to depression, and sexual effects that the label says may persist after stopping.
