research A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study Evaluating the Effects of a Polyphenol-Rich Fruit Extract Combined with Biotin on Wrinkle Morphology, Skin Surface Roughness, and Hair Shedding
In this study, a polyphenol and biotin supplement improved skin roughness and significantly reduced hair shedding, but did not demonstrate clear superiority over placebo in overall skin outcomes.
research Automated analysis of scanning electron microscopic images for assessment of hair surface damage
This study developed a quantitative measure for scoring hair surface damage from SEM images and found it accurately classified hair damage caused by explosive blasts, similar to an existing classification system.
research Effect of Surface Treatments on the Nanomechanical Properties of Human Hair
This study showed that chemical and mechanical treatments significantly alter the nanoscale surface properties of hair, affecting its roughness, mechanical stiffness, adhesion, and surface potential.
research 1387 A combination of honey to repair Asian hair from UV-A and environmental pollution-induced damage
In this study, the researchers found that a combination of honeys from four islands significantly repaired hair integrity, porosity, and surface roughness caused by UV-A and urban pollution, resulting in strengthened, soft, and shiny hair in Asian hair shafts.

- Does the caffeine in the scalp reach the follicles or stay on the surface? Caffeine can penetrate the scalp and reach hair follicles.
- What’s the difference between using hyaluronic acid as a serum on the scalp versus taking it as a supplement? Hyaluronic acid serum hydrates the scalp surface, while supplements may support overall hair health.

Quercetin reduced scalp soreness and may help with histamine-related hair loss. The soreness felt like inflamed follicles beneath the scalp surface.
community New study suggests hair regrowth on wounded and bald skin may be possible
Hair regrowth on wounded and bald skin may be possible by activating the sonic hedgehog gene, leading to hair regrowth in mice. The findings are promising but may not directly apply to humans.
community How long does hair actually take to recover from a shed?
Hair regrowth after shedding typically takes 4-6 months, with variations depending on individual hair growth cycles. Finasteride can cause shedding, but new hair will grow back at its natural rate.
community Hair Loss “Cure” for Inflammation: Topical Roflumilast
Topical roflumilast is effective for reducing inflammation in various scalp conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, and eczema, but not proven to stop scarring alopecia. Alternatives like apremilast and Vtama are also discussed for their anti-inflammatory benefits.
community Why Fin/Dut Isn't Working for You GPR133: a new hairloss mechanism + Steroid Hair Loss Deep Dive
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.
