research Towards the validation of endogenous steroid testing in wildlife hair

44 citations , November 2018 in “Journal of applied ecology”

This review discusses the use of hair analysis for examining stress and reproduction hormone levels in wildlife and highlights the need for more comprehensive physiological validations across species.

research Developmental and environmental determinants of hair steroids in children from birth to two years postnatally: A comprehensive analysis

May 2026 in “Comprehensive Psychoneuroendocrinology”

This study evaluated factors influencing hair steroid concentrations in early infancy, finding small effects from birth mode, season, and age-related changes, suggesting hair analysis as promising for assessing long-term endocrine activity.

research Serum and hair steroid profiles and their associations with body composition in adolescence

November 2025 in “European Journal of Endocrinology”

This study found that hair steroid profiling is a feasible, non-invasive alternative to serum analysis in adolescents, with androgen levels correlating more strongly with body size and composition in boys than girls.

research Hair steroid before and after COVID-19 in preschoolers: the moderation of family characteristics

May 2024 in “Psychoneuroendocrinology”

This study observed that preschoolers' physiological stress levels did not significantly change from before to during the COVID-19 pandemic, though family conflict resolution and cohesion were associated with differences in DHEA levels.

research Endogenous steroid hormones in hair: Investigations on different hair types, pigmentation effects and correlation to nails

42 citations , December 2019 in “Steroids”

In this study, researchers developed a method to measure steroid hormones in hair and found that body hair typically contains higher levels of cortisone and testosterone compared to scalp hair, but hair pigmentation did not affect hormone concentrations significantly.

community My hair after 3 steroid cycles

in Progress Pictures 27 upvotes 2 years ago

A user shared their hair progress after three steroid cycles, using 5% minoxidil and 100mg RU58841 daily. They are considering a hair transplant due to paranoia about shedding.

community How to Keep Your Hair on Steroids

25 upvotes 2 years ago

To minimize hair loss while using steroids, use finasteride or dutasteride and apply topical anti-androgens like RU58841. Avoid high doses of hair-toxic steroids; prefer testosterone, nandrolone, and boldenone.

community Why Fin/Dut Isn't Working for You GPR133: a new hairloss mechanism + Steroid Hair Loss Deep Dive

6 upvotes 2 months ago

Hair loss may be linked to the GPR133 receptor, independent of the androgen receptor pathway. Treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, RU58841, and KX-826 show varying results, with hair loss persisting due to high testosterone and GPR133's role.

community How. can I counteract the rapid hair loss caused by steroids?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 1 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation is about a person experiencing hair loss from steroid use, considering treatments like RU58841, dutasteride, and Nizoral, while avoiding finasteride and Minoxidil due to concerns about hormones and hypertension. The consensus suggests using dutasteride or finasteride, as Nizoral alone is not effective.

community Ru58841 + primobolan or masteron as a way to protect hair while on steroids

3 upvotes 6 months ago

The conversation discusses using RU58841 with primobolan or masteron to protect hair while on steroids, alongside dutasteride. Users suggest caution with these compounds due to potential hair loss and discuss alternatives like nandrolone and EQ for better hair safety.

learn Hydrocortisone

a synthetic cortisol used for anti-inflammatory effects

When should hydrocortisone be used for hair loss — is it only for irritated scalps or also alopecia areata? Hydrocortisone is a low-potency topical steroid whose labelled use is calming scalp irritation such as dermatitis; for alopecia areata no verified human trial supports it on its own, and dermatologists generally use stronger prescription corticosteroids instead.
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.

learn Bimatoprost

What do the latest studies say about bimatoprost for scalp hair growth? Bimatoprost is approved only for eyelashes; a 30-person pilot found it beat a topical steroid on patches of alopecia areata, but the two registered Allergan trials in male pattern hair loss were never published and never taken further, so scalp use stays off-label and experimental.

learn Fluocinolone

Can long-term use of Fluocinolone affect the health of hair follicles? There is no long-term human trial measuring what topical fluocinolone does to hair follicles; what is documented is the label's warning about skin atrophy with prolonged use, plus a 2007 mouse study suggesting hair-follicle bulge stem cells do not repair steroid-induced atrophy.

learn Hair Fibers

cosmetic product that temporarily makes hair appear thicker

Do hair fibers really make thinning hair look fuller, or is it just an illusion? Hair fibers create an optical illusion of fullness but do not actually thicken hair.
