research Research on the balance of thiol-disulfide in blood serum in women with telogen effluvium

3 citations , January 2019 in “International Journal of Trichology”

This study found no statistical difference in thiol-disulfide balance between telogen effluvium patients and controls, suggesting oxidative stress may not affect telogen effluvium through this mechanism.

research Photoinduced formation of thiols in human hair

14 citations , September 2016 in “Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B Biology”

This study observed that mercury-lamp irradiation may cause cleavage of disulfide bonds in keratins of white hair, leading to the formation of thiols in laboratory settings.

research Mechanism of Hair Curling via Laccase-Assisted Tyrosine Grafting Using BSA as a Model Protein

1 citations , March 2023 in “Journal of Natural Fibers”

This study explored using tyrosine as a cross-linking agent for curling Asian hair and found that it could shape hair effectively before washing without damaging the fibers, though the method was less effective after washing compared to commercial products.

research Alterations of plasma antioxidants and mitochondrial DNA mutation in hair follicles of smokers

12 citations , January 2002 in “Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis”

This study found that long-term smoking was associated with increased mitochondrial DNA deletions in hair follicles, especially among smokers with low plasma glutathione S-transferase activity.

Chemical Reactions in Curing Treatment for Permanent Hair Straightening Using Thioglycolic and Dithioglycolic Acids

research Chemical Reactions Occurring in Curing Treatment for Permanent Hair Straightening Using Thioglycolic and Dithioglycolic Acids

3 citations , January 2009 in “Sen'i Gakkaishi”

This study found that using a bicomponent reduction system with TGA and DTDG for hair straightening limited hair damage by forming only thiol groups, while a TGA-only system formed more damaging mixed disulfide groups.

community Don't use PP405 from everychem. it is likely fake.

63 upvotes 1 year ago

PP405 from Everychem is likely fake and potentially harmful, with concerns about its stability and the risk of using the wrong MPC inhibitor, which could damage hair follicles. The real PP405 was studied under strict conditions, and DIY attempts are discouraged due to unknown formulation and quality control.

community Protein's role in hair growth is more nuanced than just quantity

in Technology 5 upvotes 4 months ago

Protein's role in hair growth is complex, with specific amino acids like cysteine being crucial for effective hair growth. Users discussed using l-cysteine supplements, noting reduced hair loss and faster growth, though some experienced digestive issues.

community protein powder and creatine ????

11 months ago

Minoxidil is being used for hair loss, and there is concern about whether protein powder or creatine affects hair condition. Creatine is debated, with some users reporting no effect on hair loss, while others suggest it may cause hair thinning in those predisposed to alopecia.

community Derm told me that my whey protein usage is speeding up hair loss?

26 upvotes 4 months ago

Whey protein is unlikely to cause hair loss, and some users suggest it might be beneficial if dietary protein is insufficient. Hair loss is generally considered genetic, and there is skepticism about the dermatologist's advice to switch from whey protein to whole foods.

community Whey Protein can cause hairloss in men with AGA as per a doctor

64 upvotes 8 months ago

Whey protein may slightly increase hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) due to elevated IGF-1 and testosterone levels, but the effect is minimal compared to treatments like finasteride and dutasteride. Many users argue that whey protein's impact on hair loss is negligible and that maintaining a healthy lifestyle is more important.
