5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Human hair shaft proteomic profiling: individual differences, site specificity and cuticle analysis
This study found that proteomic analysis can distinguish hair samples across different ethnicities and body regions based on keratin protein levels, which may aid forensic hair identification.
research Bacteria Display Differential Growth and Adhesion Characteristics on Human Hair Shafts
This study demonstrated that human hair shafts can inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria but have no effect on Gram-negative bacterial growth, offering insights into hair and scalp health.
research Unzipping the cuticle of the human hair shaft to obtain micron/nano keratin filaments
This study demonstrated that human hair shafts can be anatomically separated to obtain intact micron and nano keratin filaments using solvents like performic acid and urea.
research Demonstration of the Human Hair Shaft as Transmitter/Receiver of Electromagnetic Forces
This study found that human hair shafts emit electromagnetic signals that can create images through thin glass barriers, potentially influenced by static electricity.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Weed/THC effects on hair growth/hair loss, and vitality of organ-culture human follicle studies (research review)
Cannabis and THC may have mixed effects on hair, with some studies suggesting potential negative impacts on hair growth in isolated hair follicles, but these results are hard to apply to living humans. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used for hair loss, and the effects of cannabis might be neutral or vary based on individual factors.
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 Now that hair loss in mice is solved, can they move on to people?
Hair loss treatments are being tested on mice, with methods like minoxidil and stem cell therapy showing promising results. However, human trials are still years away, leading to humorous frustration about mice benefiting first.
community Prevention of age-related beard graying in humans by the topical application of Eriodictyon angustifolium extract
Topical application of Eriodictyon angustifolium extract can prevent and reverse age-related beard graying and darken gray hair by increasing melanin production. Sterubin, a component of the extract, also promotes hair pigmentation and protects cells from DNA damage.
community It's always the Mice that gets to grow back hair.
Sodium dodecyl sulfate, oleic acid, and palmitoleic acid may promote hair growth, but their safety and effectiveness for humans are uncertain. Users consider trying these treatments cautiously, exploring alternatives like ostrich oil and microneedling.

10 / 23 results- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
