In this study, reducing agents like ammonium thioglycolate, L-cysteine, and sodium sulfite in shampoo effectively decreased hair flyaway and frizz without causing damage, as no critical hair damage was observed in structural and tensile strength assessments.

This research found that liquid-state liposomes and niosomes may enhance finasteride delivery to pilosebaceous units in hamsters more effectively than gel-state vesicles or hydroalcoholic solution.

In this experimental laboratory study, three cream formulations containing 1% Caffeine Herbasome® were developed and evaluated for stability, homogeneity, pH, dispersion, and adhesion, with results showing satisfactory stability and suitable adhesion properties for skin application.

This study found that inhibiting arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase (ALOX12) may enhance hair cuticle maturation by increasing S100A3 protein citrullination and promoting cuticular differentiation in isolated human hair follicles.

This study found that hydrophilic carbon dots (Lys-CA-CDs) induced bovine serum albumin to form more wormlike fibrils, while inhibiting hen egg white lysozyme from forming hair-like fibrils.

This study found that increasing the proportion of ethanol in minoxidil formulations improved skin penetration in both in vitro and in vivo tests on mice.

This study concluded that polymeric nanoparticles effectively targeted hair follicles for drug delivery, but the organogel formulation did not enhance their penetration into the hair shaft.

In this study, researchers developed a new sodium alginate/chitosan/Zn2+ hydrogel that showed improved physical properties, antibacterial activity, and biocompatibility, and demonstrated enhanced wound healing and skin regeneration in an in vitro model.

This literature review discusses recent advances in using essential oils and their components in cosmetic products, highlighting their diverse benefits and challenges in formulation due to varying chemical profiles, as well as addressing safety considerations for these natural ingredients.

This study found that washing hair after reduction in a permanent waving process allows for significant reformation of disulfide cross-links, enhancing the strength and elasticity of hair fibers.

This study found that CMAD wool keratin may protect human hair from damage during repeated bleaching and permanent waving treatments.

This study investigated multiple alkaline oxidative dehairing systems and found a consistent reaction mechanism for disulfide cleavage across systems, enhancing hair solubilization by enabling structural swelling and water uptake.

The best mix of propylene glycol and sorbitol was found for a cream to prevent hair loss using saw palmetto extract.

This study investigated various proteins as eco-friendly hair perming agents for Asian hair and found that bovine serum albumin and keratin achieved perming results comparable to commercial products, while also increasing hair moisture, indicating a protective effect during heat styling.

This study developed a simple and cost-effective chromatographic method for simultaneously analyzing betamethasone dipropionate and calcipotriol, achieving rapid separation within 7 minutes suitable for routine applications.

In this study, researchers examined juglone's potential as a restoring agent for hair keratin damaged by permanent or bleaching treatments, finding that juglone formed Michael adducts with cysteine residues, leading to a more regular hair surface as observed via IR spectroscopy and SEM analysis.

A fatty acid/protein complex in human hair helps protect it from damage.

This study found that encapsulating curcumin within specific polymers increased its oral bioavailability, photostability, and release in both mice and in vitro, compared to free curcumin.

This study found that curcumin nanocrystals efficiently penetrated hair follicles down to the lower infundibulum in an ex-vivo pig ear model, regardless of the gel vehicle used, though passive dermal penetration varied with the vehicle’s skin hydrating properties.

In this review, researchers noted that liposomes, due to their ability to stabilize and target drugs, are effective carriers for treating various dermatological conditions such as acne and psoriasis when applied topically.

This study concluded that a 5% concentration of celery extract in hair gel provided the best preparation characteristics, including standard parameters for organoleptic properties and spreadability.

This study investigated the molecular mechanisms behind the formation of drug-polymer inclusion complexes and found that carbamazepine can self-assemble into stable channel structures without guest polymers, unlike griseofulvin, which requires guest molecules for structural stability.

This study explored the formulation of a 1% minoxidil gel shampoo, finding that specific combinations of surfactants significantly affect its foaming ability, which may enhance compliance compared to imported products.

This study found that using natural polyphenol cross-linkers like tannic acid and green tea extract during perm treatments improved perming efficiency, wave maintenance, and hair protection compared to a control group.

This study aimed to enhance the skin penetration of minoxidil by encapsulating it in glycerosomal vesicles, offering a potential improvement in transdermal drug delivery for treating androgenetic alopecia. Results of the investigation were not reported.

This study found that dexamethasone-loaded polymeric nanoparticles, particularly those combining ethyl cellulose with Eudragit® RS, may improve controlled release and penetration of corticosteroids into the skin and hair follicles compared to traditional methods.

Finasteride and baicalin in phospholipid vesicles effectively promote hair growth and increase follicle count.

Flubendazole in a nanoemulsion can potentially treat lung cancer and cryptococcal meningitis effectively and safely.

In a mice model of atopic dermatitis, this study reported that a formulated cromolyn sodium oleate gel significantly reduced scab size and provided better healing than dexamethasone, with fewer adverse effects.

This study found that Eclipta alba (L.) Hassk herbal oil formulated with VCO demonstrated enhanced antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial activities, and provided UV protection, with EHO-18 identified as the best-performing version.
