This study found that pretreatment with KP-Cryst fusion proteins effectively protected Asian and Caucasian virgin hair from thermal damage by maintaining higher water content and preventing structural changes during heat application.
research Impact of ultraviolet radiation‐induced damage to hair fiber integrity: A multi‐technique physicochemical characterization of surface and cortex properties
This study found that UV radiation exposure during a simulated Brazilian summer caused more significant mechanical damage to natural hair than bleaching, although both caused comparable structural alterations, with double bleaching leading to the most severe protein degradation.
research Molecular elements of the regulatory control of keratin filament modulator AHF/trichohyalin in the hair follicle
This study identified molecular elements controlling the expression and stabilization of THH protein in hair follicle cells, revealing key mechanisms that support hair shaft development in mice.
research Cryogelation of human hair keratins
This study demonstrated that cryogelation of human hair keratin allows the development of 3D scaffolds with tunable properties, supporting cell adhesion and proliferation for potential biomedical applications.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Hair loss research focused on chemistry for decades because we misunderstood the mechanics of growth.
Hair growth relies on mechanical forces, not just chemicals, with tissue acting like a motor. Minoxidil and finasteride help, but maintaining tissue elasticity and addressing mechanical issues are essential.
community How to deal with mechanically induced shedding
Minoxidil can cause scalp dryness and flaking, leading to hair shedding when exfoliating. Alternatives like oral Minoxidil, finasteride, and ketoconazole shampoo are suggested to manage these issues.
community Funny Encounter With a Mechanic - Hair Loss Update
The user has been taking 3.75mg of finasteride weekly for 8 months, which has improved their hairline and hair texture. They shared a humorous encounter with a bald mechanic who complimented their hair, unaware of the finasteride use.
community Hi-c5 protein, explains why the mechanical tension theory may be correct.
Hair loss may be influenced by mechanical tension and inflammation, with the hi-c5 protein amplifying androgen effects, leading to follicle miniaturization. Treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and scalp massages are suggested to manage hair loss.
community Finally jumped on Fin after decent regrowth using all natural regime (mechanical stimulation)
The user experienced good hair regrowth using natural methods and mechanical stimulation but decided to add finasteride to their regimen for better results. They are optimistic about further regrowth and plan to update on the effects of finasteride, noting no significant side effects so far.
