Did you mean Secondary Hair Follicles?

Glossary Secondary Hair Follicles

smaller hair-producing structures that develop alongside primary follicles

Secondary hair follicles are smaller hair-producing structures that develop alongside primary hair follicles, typically in mammals with dense fur or wool. They produce finer, shorter hairs that contribute to the overall thickness and insulation properties of the animal's coat. These follicles are crucial for maintaining the density and texture of the fur, especially in species adapted to cold environments.

research Proteomics analysis of the secondary hair follicle cycle in Liaoning cashmere goat

5 citations , May 2021 in “Small ruminant research”

This study of Liaoning cashmere goats identified nine keratin proteins as markers of the secondary hair follicle cycle, providing insights that may enhance cashmere quality and production.

research Shh Gene Regulates the Proliferation and Apoptosis of Dermal Papilla Cells to Affect Its Differential Expression in Secondary Hair Follicle Growth Cycle of Cashmere Goats

7 citations , July 2024 in “Animals”

In this study, the researchers observed that higher expression of the Sonic hedgehog gene in cashmere goats' hair follicle cycles is associated with increased cell proliferation and reduced apoptosis, suggesting its role in enhancing cashmere quality.

research Proteomics Reveals the Role of PLIN2 in Regulating the Secondary Hair Follicle Cycle in Cashmere Goats

March 2025 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences”

community Secondary shedding, 6 months into oral minoxidil/finasteride 3mg chewables

55 upvotes 4 months ago

The user experienced significant hair regrowth and increased density after six months of using oral minoxidil and finasteride chewables, despite going through a secondary shedding phase. The only side effect mentioned was restlessness, and the user feels healthier overall.

community PP405 Won’t Work: Follicle Is Miniaturized, Fibrosed, And Missing Key Support Cells

7 months ago

PP405 is ineffective for miniaturized, fibrosed hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. AMP303 may activate hair follicle stem cells, but minoxidil and finasteride are still the main treatments.

community Can we get a reality check on PP405?

79 upvotes 11 months ago

PP405 is a promising hair loss treatment that may outperform minoxidil and finasteride by reviving dormant follicles and promoting significant regrowth. Results from ongoing trials are awaited, with a potential market release between 2028-2030.

community Haircafe slams pp405 presentation. Are results really that bad?

64 upvotes 5 months ago

PP405 shows promise in activating dormant hair follicles and increasing hair counts but lacks detailed efficacy data compared to minoxidil and finasteride. Opinions are mixed, with some optimism and skepticism about its effectiveness.

community How to Keep Your Hair on Steroids

25 upvotes 2 years ago

To minimize hair loss while using steroids, use finasteride or dutasteride and apply topical anti-androgens like RU58841. Avoid high doses of hair-toxic steroids; prefer testosterone, nandrolone, and boldenone.

learn Hair Transplant

Can hair be taken from other parts of the body for hair transplantation? Body hair can be used for transplantation but is generally a secondary option.
What is a hair transplant? A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that relocates hair follicles to areas of thinning.
What are the risks and side effects of FUE hair transplants? Providers describe most FUE side effects, such as swelling, redness, numbness and shock loss, as temporary, but FUE is surgery and the same sources report pain, infection, folliculitis and small permanent donor-site scars. Longer-lasting problems, including visible donor-area thinning or poor graft growth, are possible and are not covered by this provider survey.
