    GlossaryHair Smoothness

    texture and feel of hair with aligned, flat cuticles

    Hair smoothness refers to the texture and feel of hair, characterized by its lack of frizz and the alignment of hair cuticles. Smooth hair typically has cuticles that lie flat, reflecting light evenly and giving the hair a shiny, sleek appearance. This quality can be influenced by factors such as hair care practices, the use of conditioning products, and the overall health of the hair.

      Hair loss treatments discussed include minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. Salon products and supplements generally don't work for hair regrowth unless there's a severe nutritional deficiency, while hormonal treatments like estrogen and spironolactone can be effective.

      Creatine may cause hair shedding and texture changes, with mixed user experiences. Combining creatine with finasteride doesn't always prevent these effects, possibly due to individual DHT sensitivity.
