research The role of the microbiome in scalp hair follicle biology and disease
This review explores the hair follicle microbiome's interaction with the immune system, discussing its potential clinical implications for scalp health and disease but reports no new clinical results.
research The lack of significant changes in scalp hair follicle density with advancing age
This study found that age and follicular miniaturization were extremely weak predictors of total hair count in women with hair loss.
research The Metabolism of Dehydroepiandrosterone by Human Scalp Hair Follicles
This study found that hair follicles from balding men show significant metabolic differences compared to those from non-balding individuals, particularly in their ability to process dehydroepiandrosterone.
research Expression of the heat shock protein-27 in the adult human scalp skin and hair follicle: Hair cycle–dependent changes
This study reported that HSP27 protein shows varied expression in human scalp hair follicles across anagen, catagen, and telogen stages, suggesting a role in hair follicle biology.

9 / 47 results- Will scalp micropigmentation damage my existing hair or follicles? Scalp micropigmentation does not damage existing hair or follicles.
- Does the caffeine in the scalp reach the follicles or stay on the surface? Caffeine can penetrate the scalp and reach hair follicles.
- What is sulforaphane and how does it support scalp and hair follicle health? Sulforaphane is a compound from cruciferous vegetables that may support hair follicle health.
- How does sh-Polypeptide-7 help stimulate hair follicle activity or reduce scalp inflammation? sh-Polypeptide-7 is the INCI name for a lab-made form of human growth hormone (somatotropin) — not EGF, which is sh-Oligopeptide-1. Growth hormone and IGF-1 signalling is documented in hair follicle biology, but there is no published human trial of sh-Polypeptide-7 applied to the scalp for hair growth or scalp inflammation.
- What’s the difference between retinol and salicylic acid in scalp care and follicle renewal? Retinol promotes skin renewal while salicylic acid targets scalp exfoliation and acne.

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.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Scalp Skin Barrier Health and Hair Follicle Cycling: A Potential Overlooked Connection
The conversation discusses the importance of scalp skin barrier health in hair follicle cycling, suggesting treatments like ceramides or niacinamide to support hair growth. It also mentions the use of finasteride for hair loss.
community Scalp inflammation cleared after stopping "spoiled" milk - what about follicles,shedding?
Switching milk brands cleared scalp inflammation and other symptoms, but hair shedding continues. The user hopes shedding will stop as hair cycles progress.
community How far away are we from scalp/hair follicle cloning for an essentially unlimited transplant supply? And would prior transplants affect eligibility?
Hair/scalp cloning for unlimited transplants is likely a decade away, with prior transplants not significantly affecting future options. Advances in AI and research in wound-induced hair neogenesis are promising, but infrastructure and technology constraints remain challenges.
community Scalp barrier integrity and its potential link to hair follicle health
A healthy scalp barrier is crucial for hair growth, and ceramides may play a key role in maintaining it. The conversation suggests that focusing on scalp health, alongside treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841, could improve hair follicle health.
community We always hear that DUT only lowers scalp DHT by 50% (fin at 40%) but a study within the hair follicle itself shows that DUT nukes DHT to near undetectable levels... so which is it??
Dutasteride significantly reduces DHT levels in hair follicles, potentially more effectively than previously thought. The discussion highlights differences in DHT measurements and the impact on hair loss treatment.
