research Discrete Nanoscale Distribution of Hair Lipids Fails to Provide Humidity Resistance

15 citations , August 2020 in “Analytical chemistry”

This study observed that lipids in human hair accumulate in specific areas and do not significantly impact water permeability, highlighting the utility of AFMIR for studying complex biomaterials.

research Kinetics and Equilibrium of Solute Diffusion into Human Hair

8 citations , July 2012 in “Annals of biomedical engineering”

This study found that the uptake of molecules by hair is influenced by both hydrophobic and ionic charge interactions, with binding affinity decreasing as pH approaches the solute's dissociation constant.

research V Congress of the Portuguese Society of Cosmetological Sciences - Proceedings

June 2015 in “Biomedical and biopharmaceutical research”

This article reviews EU cosmetic product claim regulations and highlights increased harmonization and enforcement while reporting no new results.

research Exogenous and endogenous lipids of human hair

21 citations , March 2017 in “Skin research and technology”

In this study, extracting internal lipids from Caucasian hair fibers led to decreased water permeability, influenced by the fluidity of lipids.

research Characterization of transport systems for cysteine, lysine, alanine, and leucine in wool follicles of sheep

9 citations , August 2007 in “Journal of animal science/Journal of animal science ... and ASAS reference compendium”

This study observed that amino acid uptake into wool follicles varies significantly, with cysteine showing the highest uptake rate, suggesting specialized transport systems that may influence wool growth.

community 22M After 3 years of minox and almost 2 on fin, I've got a NW1 and my ideal hair... but my face is fucked/aged from minoxidil and I want to stop it

11 upvotes 2 years ago

A user reported significant facial aging after using minoxidil for hair loss, despite a good skincare routine and healthy lifestyle. They plan to switch to dutasteride and possibly stop minoxidil.

community Do not switch from topical to oral minoxidil.

778 upvotes 8 months ago

Switching from topical to oral minoxidil caused prolonged hair shedding without regrowth, leading to the use of both topical and oral minoxidil with oral finasteride. Responses to these treatments vary, emphasizing the need for personalized approaches.

community Water retention from topical minoxidil

4 upvotes 4 years ago

Topical minoxidil can cause water retention, making the face appear swollen. Switching from liquid to foam and reducing application frequency may help; using dandelion root extract as a diuretic is also suggested.

community Main reason I switched to oral min from topical liquid min

in Minoxidil 6 upvotes 8 months ago

Switching from topical to oral minoxidil resolved issues like watery eyes and ear itchiness. Users report oral minoxidil is better for sensitive skin, though some are concerned about side effects like hair growth everywhere.
