    GlossarySodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS)

    synthetic detergent and surfactant used in shampoos and cleaning products

    Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS), also known as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), is a synthetic detergent and surfactant commonly used in cleaning products, shampoos, and toothpaste. It works by lowering the surface tension of water, allowing it to more effectively remove oils and dirt. In scientific research, SDS is also used in protein denaturation during SDS-PAGE, a technique for separating proteins based on their molecular weight.

      community Hair thick enough to grow out???

      in Transplants  3 upvotes 2 years ago
      A user had a hair transplant 16 years ago and lost hair after stopping finasteride. They're now using a combination of treatments including oral dutasteride, topical and oral minoxidil, Pyrilutamide, and microneedling, and have seen improved density but are unsure if it's enough to grow their hair out. They also had a bad experience with scalp micropigmentation (SMP) and are considering redoing it.

      Sodium dodecyl sulfate, oleic acid, and palmitoleic acid may promote hair growth, but their safety and effectiveness for humans are uncertain. Users consider trying these treatments cautiously, exploring alternatives like ostrich oil and microneedling.

      community can someone help me identify these pls

      The user is experiencing diffuse thinning and inflammation despite using 2.5mg dutasteride daily, ciclopirox, and ketoconazole shampoos. They are considering treatments like hydroxychloroquine and JAK inhibitors due to suspected scarring alopecia and have faced challenges in obtaining a scalp biopsy.
