research Hair growth promoting effect of white wax and policosanol from white wax on the mouse model of testosterone-induced hair loss

27 citations , February 2017 in “Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy”

This study found that white wax and its extract may promote hair growth in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia by inhibiting 5α-reductase activity and increasing cell proliferation, with efficacy surpassing finasteride.

research Effect of Adiantum Capillus veneris Linn on an Animal Model of Testosterone-Induced Hair Loss.

13 citations , January 2014 in “PubMed”

In this study, A. capillus-veneris solution demonstrated potential to reduce hair loss and improve hair characteristics in a testosterone-induced alopecia mouse model.

Particulate Matter Exposure Induces Maternal Scalp Hair Loss After Birth in C57/B6 Mouse via Alteration of Inflammatory and Apoptotic Pathways

research Particulate matter exposure induces maternal scalp hair loss after birth in C57/B6 mouse via alteration of inflammatory and apoptotic pathways

May 2026 in “Frontiers in Endocrinology”

In a mouse model, this study found that exposure to PM2.5 leads to significant postpartum hair loss, apparent via morphological changes and elevated markers of inflammation, apoptosis, and fibrosis, potentially exacerbated by changes in hormone receptors and stem cell populations.

research Tetrahydroxystilbene Glucoside Effectively Prevents Apoptosis Induced Hair Loss

9 citations , January 2018 in “BioMed Research International”

This study found that topical application of TSG from Polygonum multiflorum promoted hair regrowth in depilated mice, potentially through the inhibition of apoptosis-related proteins.

research Hair loss.

5 citations , October 1984 in “The BMJ”

Up to 50% of scalp hair can be lost before it appears thin, and treatment is only needed for hair loss caused by diseases or deficiencies.

community Creatine and hair loss: What is the your personal experience?

1 month ago

Creatine may increase hair shedding for some, especially those sensitive to DHT, but experiences vary. Many users on finasteride and minoxidil report no additional hair loss from creatine.

community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

16 upvotes 9 months ago

Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

community Sometimes the hair loss was in our control the whole time

833 upvotes 11 months ago

The conversation discusses hair loss and the potential impact of diet and lifestyle changes, particularly increased protein intake, on hair health. The original poster shared their experience of improved hair appearance after weight loss and dietary changes, despite skepticism from others about lighting differences in photos and the effectiveness of diet alone without finasteride or minoxidil.

community The association between creatine and hairloss

5 upvotes 9 months ago

Creatine may cause hair loss in some individuals, though there is no scientific consensus. Personal experiences vary, with some reporting increased shedding and others seeing no effect.

community We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.

in Technology 613 upvotes 4 months ago

A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.

learn Alfatradiol

Alfatradiol: Can it help if my hair loss is linked to DHT? The one randomised trial of topical alfatradiol — in 103 women — found hair thickness and density essentially unchanged after six months, while minoxidil improved both; its authors credited alfatradiol with slowing hair loss rather than regrowing hair. Laboratory work supports a local effect on follicular DHT, but no controlled trial in men appears to have been published.
Alfatradiol: What does a form of estrogen have to do with hair loss in men? Alfatradiol (17α-estradiol) is a prescription topical hormone, licensed for androgenetic alopecia in Germany but not FDA-approved. The controlled trial evidence is in women, where it produced stabilisation rather than regrowth and was outperformed by minoxidil; no comparable placebo-controlled trial in men appears to have been published.
Does Alfatradiol work the same for women, men, and trans people? Almost all controlled data on topical alfatradiol comes from cisgender women, where it slowed hair loss rather than regrowing hair and was outperformed by minoxidil. No published controlled trial covers cisgender men, and none covers trans people at all — so the honest answer is that the difference has not been measured.

learn RU58841

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.

learn Alopecia Areata

autoimmune disorder causing patchy hair loss

learn Hair Transplant

Hair transplantation moves DHT-resistant follicles from a donor area (back and sides of the scalp) into thinning or bald areas. The transplanted hair is generally permanent, though surrounding native hair can keep thinning.
