research An investigation of the association between structural proteins and lipids with scalp hair curvature

January 2025 in “Open University of Cape Town (University of Cape Town)”

This study found that lipids are highly correlated with hair curvature while proteins are not, reporting the largest number of hair lipids and identifying novel proteins and chaperones relating to different hair types for the first time.

research Quantifying variation in human scalp hair fiber shape and pigmentation

32 citations , March 2016 in “American Journal of Physical Anthropology”

This study suggests that chemical methods can reveal subtle differences in scalp hair color variability across populations and emphasizes the need for enhanced understanding of hair fiber curvature.

research PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ANATOLIAN NATIVE GOAT DOWN-HAIR FIBERS IN COMPARISON WITH CASHMERE FIBER

3 citations , March 2019 in “Tekstil Ve Konfeksiyon”

This study found that the down-hair fibers of native goats in Turkey have similar characteristics to cashmere fibers, indicating potential for high-quality textile products as a substitute.

research Intrinsic curvature in wool fibres is determined by the relative length of orthocortical and paracortical cells

27 citations , March 2018 in “Journal of Experimental Biology”

This study found that hair curvature in merino wool is influenced by differences in cell type length rather than the proportions of orthocortical and paracortical cells.

research Cortical cell types and intermediate filament arrangements correlate with fiber curvature in Japanese human hair

62 citations , December 2008 in “Journal of structural biology”

This study found that in naturally curved human scalp hairs, distinct arrangements of cell types on either side of the hair fiber contribute to its curvature.

community Hair was retained after stopping finasteride, a decade later. Anyone else?

1 upvotes 8 months ago

After stopping finasteride, the user retained hair without noticeable balding, suggesting an unusual reaction to the medication. The user initially experienced rapid hair loss and itchiness, possibly due to male pattern baldness, but maintained hair stability after tapering off finasteride.

community Hair gel makes my hair look terribly unhealthy?!

in Styling 267 upvotes 1 year ago

Avoid hair gel; use sea salt spray, matte clay, or styling powder for volume. Use finasteride and minoxidil for hair loss.

community Scientists May Have Accidentally Found a Way to Reverse Hair Loss Without Drugs

877 upvotes 1 year ago

2-deoxy-D-ribose is being explored as a hair loss treatment but is not proven effective in humans and may be costly and inconvenient. Minoxidil remains the most effective treatment.

community The end of balding: We may have just found the secret to hair regrowth

in Technology 680 upvotes 1 year ago

MCL-1 is important for hair follicle stem cell survival, but its impact on human hair regrowth is unclear. Minoxidil and finasteride are the main treatments, with doubts about new discoveries leading to effective human solutions soon.

learn Scalp Micropigmentation

scalp tattoos to mimic the appearance of light stubble

What happens if my hair turns gray after scalp micropigmentation? Gray hair can blend well with scalp micropigmentation, and touch-ups can adjust pigment as needed.
Will scalp micropigmentation damage my existing hair or follicles? Scalp micropigmentation does not damage existing hair or follicles.
Can Scalp Micropigmentation actually make hair look thicker, or is it just a cosmetic illusion? Scalp Micropigmentation creates the illusion of thicker hair by reducing scalp visibility.
