research Quasi-Static Torsional Deformation of Single Hair Fibers: Application of a Modeling Approach and Results from Cosmetic Treatments.

February 2019 in “PubMed”

This study explores torsional measurements of single hair fibers to differentiate the effects of cosmetic treatments on hair structure, highlighting their potential to reveal shear stiffness changes related to cuticle damage.

research Biomechanics of hair fibre growth: A multi-scale modeling approach

6 citations , January 2021 in “Journal of the mechanics and physics of solids/Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids”

This study's simulations suggest that biomechanical factors, like follicle geometry and tissue stiffness, are likely significant in hair fiber protrusion, providing a framework for future experimental validation.

research The place of B‐mode ultrasonography, shear‐wave elastography, and superb microvascular imaging in the pre‐diagnosis of androgenetic alopecia

1 citations , September 2021 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology”

This study demonstrated that B-mode ultrasound and shear-wave elastography could differentiate individuals at risk of developing androgenetic alopecia from healthy individuals by assessing cranial subcutaneous tissue thickness and epidermis-dermis stiffness.

research Multiparametric Ultrasound Assessment of Alopecia Areata Plaque with Atrophy After Serial Corticosteroid Infusion

February 2025 in “Brazilian Journal of Hair Health”

This case study found that multiparametric ultrasound can be an effective non-invasive diagnostic tool for evaluating scalp changes in alopecia areata following repeated corticosteroid injections, potentially offering an alternative to biopsy.

research Stiffness-Controlled Thermoresponsive Hydrogels for Cell Harvesting with Sustained Mechanical Memory

22 citations , January 2017 in “Advanced Healthcare Materials”

This study found that thermoresponsive hydrogels can maintain mechanical memory in fibroblasts, enhancing wound healing compared to traditional trypsinized methods.

community Minoxidil actually reduces wrinkles

in Research/Science 209 upvotes 1 year ago

Minoxidil may improve or worsen skin quality, with topical forms causing dryness and wrinkles, possibly due to alcohol content, while oral forms have fewer side effects. Some users consider using tretinoin to mitigate negative effects.

community Scalp Massages /scalp hair oiling effective??

5 upvotes 10 months ago

The conversation discusses the effectiveness of natural remedies like scalp massages and oils for hair loss, with some users advocating for proven treatments like minoxidil and finasteride. The original poster prefers natural methods, while others argue that pharmaceuticals are more effective in combating hair loss.

community Fresh off the press: Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility

in Research/Science 643 upvotes 1 year ago

Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility by reducing semen volume and motility, with concerns about irreversible prostate fibrosis. Users consider switching to finasteride or using treatments like minoxidil and microneedling, weighing hair preservation against fertility.

community I swear to god this hair never existed there ???

in Is this regrowth? 129 upvotes 1 year ago

Unusual hair growth can occur in unexpected areas, possibly due to topical treatments like Minoxidil. Such hair may appear suddenly and is often unrelated to typical hairline patterns.

community If OpenAI finds a cure for balding I hereby swear I will dedicate the rest of my life to converting saltwater into freshwater

278 upvotes 2 weeks ago

The conversation discusses the complexity of finding a cure for hair loss, mentioning treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and potential future solutions involving AI. It highlights skepticism about a quick solution due to testing and approval processes, while some users express hope in AI's potential to develop effective treatments.
