November 2018 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science”
This study proposes a simple fluorescence method to evaluate hair damage and protection, suggesting that emissive properties of hair can aid in substantiating cosmetic claims.
This study found that 4-(4-Phenoxybenzoyl)benzoic acid derivatives may act as antioxidants by scavenging certain reactive oxygen species but exhibit prooxidant behavior under specific conditions.
August 2024 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science”
This study found that acetyl zingerone methyl ether (MAZ) in hair dyes and haircare products may reduce oxidative damage, improve hair condition, and enhance the longevity and quality of dyed hair color.
November 2023 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”
This study suggests that hemoglobin α expression in the epidermis is induced by oxidative stress and may function as an antioxidant, contributing to skin barrier function.
July 2022 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”
This study identified that bacterially-induced metabolic changes in keratinocytes enhance skin and hair follicle regeneration, suggesting that modifying skin microbiome interactions may improve wound healing.
A quercetin-encapsulated and polydopamine-integrated nanosystem (PDA@QLipo) shows promise for treating androgenetic alopecia by reshaping the perifollicular microenvironment, outperforming minoxidil in hair regeneration. The nanosystem promotes cell proliferation, hair follicle renewal, and recovery by scavenging reactive oxygen species and enhancing neovascularity.
Creatine may increase scalp DHT without affecting serum DHT, potentially speeding up male pattern baldness (MPB) for those genetically prone. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
The user shares a positive experience with Dutasteride for hair loss, noting increased hair density and minimal side effects after switching from Finasteride. They prefer oral Dutasteride and avoid Minoxidil due to its inconvenience and potential risks.
Insulin resistance may increase DHT production, contributing to hair loss, and addressing it through diet, nutrients, and natural DHT blockers like saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil could help reverse hair loss. Some users prefer medications like finasteride for more effective results.
Blocking the Mitochondrial pyruvate carrier and using aldose reductase inhibitors like Indian gooseberry and berberine may help with hair growth. Magnesium can also be added to increase NADPH.
