research Light scattering from human hair fibers

161 citations , July 2003 in “ACM Transactions on Graphics”

In this study, a new shading model for hair was developed that better matches real-life light scattering, thanks to detailed new measurements of hair fiber scattering not predicted by existing models.

research Light scattering from human hair fibers

90 citations , July 2003

This study introduced a new hair shading model that more accurately simulates light scattering on hair fibers, capturing effects not predicted by previous models.

research On Pathways for Small Molecules Into and Out of Human Hair Fibers

56 citations , January 1996 in “Journal of Forensic Sciences”

This study found that rhodamine B penetrated human hair fibers more effectively from an aqueous solution compared to a methanol/ethanol solvent, with penetration depending on hair morphology.

research Wetting behavior of human hair fibers

52 citations , August 1978 in “Journal of Applied Polymer Science”

Human hair's ability to get wet is complex and can change with treatments, damage, and environment.

research A discourse on human hair fibers and reflections on the conservation of drug molecules

47 citations , June 1996 in “International Journal of Legal Medicine”

This article discusses how drug molecules integrate into hair fibers, focusing on biological transport mechanisms and physicochemical factors, but reports no new experimental findings.

community Living a lie with hair fibers...

498 upvotes 9 months ago

A person dealing with hair loss is considering shaving their head, using scalp micropigmentation to cover a FUT scar, or trying a hair system. They are also contemplating treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.

community Is 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) good for human hair?

8 upvotes 2 years ago

Topical 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) regrows hair in mice almost as well as 2% Minoxidil. However, 2dDR may contribute to oxidative stress and hair loss due to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs).

community This is the best time in human history to be fighting hair loss

195 upvotes 4 years ago

This conversation discusses the advancements in treatments for hair loss, including finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil and new promising treatments such as pyrilutamide and verteporfin. Other treatments discussed were taking minoxidil orally, tretinoin to turn non-responders into responders and microneedling to further boost growth.

community Scientists have found that a naturally occurring sugar in humans and animals could be used as a topical treatment for male pattern baldness | In the study, mice received 2dDR-SA gel for 21 days, resulting in greater number of blood vessels and an increase in hair follicle length and denseness

644 upvotes 2 years ago

Scientists discovered a sugar gel, 2dDR-SA, that increased hair growth in mice. Users discussed its potential, comparing it to other treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.

community The Real Reason For Hair Loss?

8 months ago

Hair loss is linked to scalp fibrosis and tension, which result from chronic mechanical stress and androgenic signaling. Treatments include blocking androgens with finasteride, promoting hair growth with topical minoxidil, and improving scalp mobility through exercises.

learn Vitamin B1

Thinning hair over time? It might not just be genetics: lack of B1 and B2 could be silently working against you. There is no verified human trial showing that B1 or B2 deficiency causes thinning hair or that correcting it regrows hair; a 2019 review concludes the role of micronutrients in hair loss is real but unclear and still needs controlled trials.

learn RU58841

Will I lose my hair if I stop using RU58841? (Spoiler: I might.) There is no published human trial of stopping RU58841; community members commonly report shedding within weeks to months, and androgen biology suggests miniaturization would resume once the topical anti-androgen is withdrawn.

learn Castor oil

Does castor oil make hair grow or is it just a myth? There is no published human trial showing castor oil grows hair. It can make hair look and feel better by reducing breakage and adding shine, which is easily mistaken for growth, and it is not approved anywhere as a hair loss treatment.

learn Redensyl

Does Redensyl prevent hair loss or only help when there's already visible hair loss? The only human data on Redensyl is a small, unpublished manufacturer study in men who already had androgenetic alopecia; there is no evidence in people without visible hair loss, so nothing supports using it to prevent hair loss before it starts.

learn Ecklonia Cava

Can Ecklonia Cava be used as a preventive treatment for early signs of hair thinning? No human trial has tested Ecklonia cava for hair loss, so it cannot be called preventive; the evidence is mouse studies and cell cultures suggesting antioxidant activity and 5-alpha-reductase inhibition in the lab.
