This study found that applying a dutasteride-loaded liposome formulation to damp rat skin nearly doubled the drug's follicular accumulation compared to dry skin, suggesting scalp hydration status may significantly impact the drug's topical delivery, especially in follicle-rich areas.

Hair care practices like using relaxers and tight braiding can lead to permanent hair loss in black women.

This review discusses scalp micropigmentation (SMP) for camouflaging baldness and reports no new clinical results; it aims to highlight SMP's cosmetic benefits and practical advantages over surgical hair transplantation.

This paper discusses therapies for damaged scalps from hair and fiber implants and reports no new clinical findings, calling attention to treatment complexities.

Shampooing can affect the loss of minerals like calcium and iron from hair.

This article reviews androgenetic alopecia in women, highlighting diagnosis criteria and noting that topical minoxidil is currently the only proven treatment for hair growth; it reports no clinical trial findings.

In this case study, a 7-year-old boy with kerion celsi experienced persistent inflammation even after microbiological clearance; dermoscopic-guided removal of hair and keratin debris improved his condition, suggesting a novel inflammatory mechanism involving granulomatous response to keratinous debris in tinea capitis.

In this study, a Finnish functional ingredient called SpruceSugar™ was found to slightly reduce scalp oil (sebum) and water loss compared to a control over four weeks, although differences were not statistically significant. Both study groups experienced similar improvements in scalp moisture.

This article reviews various aspects of shampoos, including preparation methods and commercial value, but reports no new experimental results, instead focusing on patents and product evaluation criteria.

In this study, sweat duct differentiation was found to be a rare feature in trichilemmal cysts, occurring in only 0.97% of cases, and was likely under recognized.

This study found that flaxseed-olive oil-based herbal formulations may be effective and multifunctional for scalp protection and hair health, showing strong antioxidant and antibacterial properties.

This study reports that a polyherbal hair mask made from ingredients like strawberry, amla, and fenugreek demonstrates effectiveness as a non-toxic alternative to chemical hair products, promoting hair growth and scalp nourishment while offering ease of use and stability.

This review examines the diverse uses of mesotherapy in dermatology, noting its efficacy in enhancing skin hydration and treating conditions such as hyperpigmentation, hair loss, and acne scarring, while highlighting its potential to optimize overall skin health.

In this study, a combined rosemary and neem extract outperformed ketoconazole and minoxidil in treating dandruff, scalp disorders, and promoting hair growth, demonstrating potent antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties in lab settings.

In this study, a chitosan-based minoxidil nanogel was developed and optimized for better scalp retention and targeted follicular delivery, showing sustained drug release over 48 hours and improved drug deposition compared to conventional minoxidil solutions.

This study highlights the potential of polymeric micelles in enhancing the targeted delivery and efficacy of treatments for androgenetic alopecia, by offering improved retention on the scalp, extended release, and reduced systemic side effects compared to conventional therapies like minoxidil and finasteride.

This study describes patients with moderate to severe scarring alopecia of the scalp margin and suggests that traction is not the sole cause for this condition, as half of the patients had no history of harsh hairstyling practices.

This review discusses current treatment strategies for alopecia and highlights the potential of lipid-based nanoparticles to improve drug delivery to the scalp and hair follicles, noting their ability to enhance skin penetration and drug stability while outlining associated challenges and the need for further research.

This review reports that cubosomes, used as drug nanocarriers in topical treatments, offer potential benefits for managing skin and eye diseases by improving bioadhesion, retention, and sustained release compared to conventional formulations, but also face manufacturing and biological challenges for effective clinical outcomes.

In this study, platelet-rich fibrin matrix combined with follicular unit transplantation increased hair follicle numbers in men with androgenetic alopecia on the treated side of the scalp after six months.

This review discusses male androgenetic alopecia treatments, noting that topical minoxidil and oral finasteride are FDA-approved and require continuous use to maintain hair retention effects, but reports no new clinical results.
