This study found that pumpkin seed oil significantly improved hair parameters in females with pattern hair loss, demonstrating potential as a treatment comparable to minoxidil 5% foam.
research Cicatricial pattern hair loss is not a variant of lichen planopilaris
This letter argues that cicatricial pattern hair loss likely represents end-stage androgenetic alopecia and not a variant of lichen planopilaris, as previously suggested.
research Efficacy of Topical Finasteride 0.5% vs 17α-Estradiol 0.05% in the Treatment of Postmenopausal Female Pattern Hair Loss: A Retrospective, Single-Blind Study of 119 Patients
This study reported that among postmenopausal women with female pattern hair loss, treatment with topical finasteride 0.5% and minoxidil 2% was more effective at improving hair condition than treatment with topical 17α-estradiol 0.05% and minoxidil 2%, particularly notable at 12-18 months of follow-up.
research Serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D levels in alopecia areata, female pattern hair loss, and male androgenetic alopecia in a Chinese population
This study found that Chinese patients with alopecia areata, female pattern hair loss, and male androgenetic alopecia had significantly lower serum vitamin D levels than healthy individuals.
research Severity of androgenetic alopecia associated with poor sleeping habits and carnivorous eating and junk food consumption—A web‐based investigation of male pattern hair loss in China
Poor sleep, meat-heavy diets, and junk food worsen hair loss, while sugary drinks may help.
research Maintenance of optimised hair growth from viable terminal scalp hair follicles at baseline with oral finasteride in male pattern hair loss and first evidence of a “drug dependency” and a post-finasteride “rebound effect”.
This study found that male pattern hair loss worsened significantly after stopping finasteride, revealing a "rebound effect" where terminal hair transformed into miniaturized hair over 30 months off the drug.
research MiR-92a-1-5p and miR-328-3p Are Up-Regulated in Skin of Female Pattern Hair Loss Patients
Higher levels of MiR-92a-1-5p and miR-328-3p found in female hair loss patients.
research Aryl hydrocarbon receptor overexpression in miniaturized follicles in female pattern hair loss
This study demonstrates that miniaturized hair follicles in female pattern hair loss overexpress nuclear aryl hydrocarbon receptors, suggesting a potential role for environmental pollutants in this condition.
research Minoxidil dose response study in female pattern hair loss patients determined to be non-responders to 5% topical minoxidil.
This study found that a 15% topical minoxidil solution improved hair regrowth in 60% of women with female pattern hair loss who did not respond to the standard 5% solution, without adverse effects.
research Efficacy and safety of 5% minoxidil topical foam in male pattern hair loss treatment and patient satisfaction
This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of a 5% minoxidil topical foam without propylene glycol in men with androgenic alopecia.
research The oestrogen receptor 2 (ESR2) gene in female-pattern hair loss: replication of association with rs10137185 in German patients
This study reports an association between the ESR2 gene variant rs10137185 and female-pattern hair loss in German patients.
research An update on diagnosis and treatment of female pattern hair loss
This review discusses recent advances in the diagnosis and management of female pattern hair loss but reports no new clinical results.
research Female pattern hair loss
This study found that premenopausal women with female pattern hair loss had a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome compared to healthy controls.
research Female Pattern Hair Loss in a Patient with 17?-hydroxylase Deficiency
Low androgen levels can still cause female pattern hair loss.
research Hormonal treatment for male-pattern hair loss: implications for cancer of the prostate?
Finasteride treats hair loss but may affect prostate cancer detection.
research Early onset female pattern hair loss: a case–control study for analyzing clinical features and genetic variants
This study identified clinical features and genetic variants associated with early onset female pattern hair loss, highlighting decreased hair shaft density and specific SNPs related to androgenic features.
research Randomized clinical trial of low-dose oral minoxidil for the treatment of female pattern hair loss: 0.25 mg versus 1 mg
This study found that 1 mg/day low-dose oral minoxidil significantly increased hair count compared to 0.25 mg/day over 24 weeks in women with female pattern hair loss, though no differences were observed in hair-shedding and quality-of-life scores between the two doses.
research Bicalutamide and the new perspectives for female pattern hair loss treatment: What dermatologists should know
This review highlights bicalutamide as a promising oral therapy for female pattern hair loss, noting its safety, tolerability, and effectiveness in women with hyperandrogenic symptoms like acne and hirsutism, though further trials are needed to confirm its ideal dose and efficacy.
research Clinical Patterns of Hair Loss in Men
