Glossary Mechanical Properties

describe material's response to forces like tension and compression

Mechanical properties refer to the characteristics of a material that describe its behavior under various types of force or load. These properties include strength, elasticity, hardness, and toughness, and they determine how a material responds to mechanical stresses such as tension, compression, and shear. For example, in the context of hair, mechanical properties would influence how hair withstands brushing, styling, and environmental factors without breaking or becoming damaged.

community Finally jumped on Fin after decent regrowth using all natural regime (mechanical stimulation)

5 upvotes 8 years ago

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.
