research The impact of AP collagen peptides (APCPs) on hair shaft elasticity and gloss: A comprehensive analysis

November 2024 in “Journal of Functional Foods”

In this study, APC collagen peptides were observed to enhance hair elasticity and gloss in human hair follicles by increasing amino acid and lipid component levels, suggesting their potential benefits for improving hair qualities.

research Perspectives and Challenges of Hair Analysis

2 citations , December 2023 in “Royal Society of Chemistry eBooks”

The book discussed in this abstract is a comprehensive guide to hair analysis, detailing the latest methods and applications across various fields such as toxicology and drug monitoring, designed for both newcomers and experts in the field.

research Healthy Hair: Form and Function

January 2015 in “Springer eBooks”

Hair health is influenced by genetics, aging, and environmental factors, with proper care needed to maintain it.

research Mechanical Behaviour of Scalp Hair in Premature and Full-Term Neonates

1 citations , January 1997 in “Skin Pharmacology and Physiology”

In this study, researchers found a significant decrease in the modulus of elasticity of hair shafts in premature neonates compared to full-term ones, potentially due to differences in disulphide bonds or microfibril arrangement.

research DcR3 reprograms macrophage plasticity to promote wound healing and hair regeneration

January 2026 in “Journal of Dermatological Science”

This study suggests that DcR3 can reprogram macrophages towards a reparative state, enhancing wound healing and hair follicle regeneration, making it a potential target for treating chronic wounds and alopecia.

community Hair loss research focused on chemistry for decades because we misunderstood the mechanics of growth.

51 upvotes 7 months ago

Hair growth relies on mechanical forces, not just chemicals, with tissue acting like a motor. Minoxidil and finasteride help, but maintaining tissue elasticity and addressing mechanical issues are essential.

community NMN supplementation experiences?

2 upvotes 8 months ago

The conversation discusses experiences with NMN supplementation for hair growth, with some users reporting increased hair growth activity and others seeing no significant changes. OP has been using dutasteride and oral minoxidil, and recently added NMN, noticing increased shedding, which they hope indicates new hair growth.

community Huge anxiety after taking finasteride

in Treatment 25 upvotes 9 months ago

The user experiences severe anxiety and physical symptoms after taking finasteride and is seeking alternative hair loss treatments since dutasteride is unavailable. They suspect an allergic reaction to finasteride and have stopped using it.

community Possible transgenerational effects of finasteride use on male offspring? (STUDY)

in Research/Science 27 upvotes 4 months ago

Finasteride may affect male offspring's fertility and hormonal balance, with debates on whether to discontinue use before conception. Some users report no issues, while others highlight the high doses used in rat studies.

community Hair Shaft Diameter and Density Comparison

13 upvotes 1 month ago

The conversation discusses differences in hair shaft diameter and density between thinning and denser areas on the scalp. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.

learn oleic acid

Is there a difference between getting Oleic Acid from oils (like olive oil) versus hair products? Oils on the hair act mainly on the hair shaft and skin surface; eating olive oil is linked with heart health in cohort studies. Neither route has been shown to affect hair growth.
How does Oleic Acid support hair follicle strength and growth? Lab and animal studies suggest oleic acid may help the scalp barrier and hair shaft. No human trial shows that it strengthens follicles or slows hair loss.

learn Cetirizine

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.
