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 LeBron James has the most mysterious hair

in Progress Pictures 166 upvotes 2 years ago

LeBron James likely uses hair transplants and possibly hair fibers or sprays to maintain his hairline, but his crown remains problematic. Despite his wealth, he hasn't fully resolved his hair loss, leading to speculation about his treatments and choices.

community From basically bald to brushing, showering, swimming, and sleeping on it like real hair

in Technology 12 upvotes 8 months ago

A user shared their experience with a hair restoration method involving adding individual human hairs on ultra-fine strands between existing hair, allowing for natural movement and appearance without blocking the scalp. They also continue using rosemary oil and gentle massage for basic growth support.

community I want my hair back so badly bros

in Chat 234 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, dutasteride, and RU58841. Users suggest hair fibers for temporary coverage and consider hair transplants for permanent solutions.

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.
