research HIVEN CURL CODE® : EVALUATION OF THE INTERACTION OF BIOFUNCTIONAL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS AND SURFACE MODULATION IN CURLY HAIR FIBERS

July 2026 in “Open Minds International Journal”

This review suggests that multifunctional cosmetic systems, particularly HIVEN Curl Code ®, may help control frizz and maintain curl definition in highly curly hair by utilizing various conditioning and biofunctional ingredients.

Trans-3,4'-Dimethyl-3-Hydroxyflavanone, a Hair Growth Enhancing Active Component, Decreases Active Transforming Growth Factor Beta 2 (TGF-Beta2) Through Control of Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator (uPA) on the Surface of Keratinocytes

research trans-3,4'-Dimethyl-3-hydroxyflavanone, a Hair Growth Enhancing Active Component, Decreases Active Transforming Growth Factor .BETA.2 (TGF-.BETA.2) through Control of Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator (uPA) on the Surface of Keratinocytes

10 citations , January 2008 in “Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin”

This study found that trans-3,4'-Dimethyl-3-hydroxyflavanone reduces active TGF-beta2 levels in human keratinocytes, suggesting it may enhance hair growth by suppressing the TGF-beta2 activation pathway.

research Hair surface interactions against different chemical functional groups as a function of environment and hair condition

17 citations , January 2023 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science”

In this study, hydrophobic interactions were found to primarily drive deposition on virgin hair, while electrostatic interactions were more significant for bleached hair, highlighting different target moieties for hair conditioning products.

research Production of mannosylerythritol lipids and their application in cosmetics

84 citations , April 2013 in “Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology”

This review discusses the current research and development of mannosylerythritol lipids, particularly focusing on their potential commercial applications in cosmetics; it reports no new results.

research Marangoni effect in the water wetting of surfactant coated human hair fibers

10 citations , November 1984 in “Journal of Colloid and Interface Science”

The study found that the Marangoni effect causes the uneven wetting of surfactant-coated hair due to the surfactant moving into the water.

community Ultrasound can show you if your hair will ever grow back

in Research/Science 41 upvotes 5 months ago

Ultrasound imaging can non-invasively detect active and inactive hair follicles, inflammation, and fibrosis, potentially reducing unnecessary biopsies. It may help assess hair growth potential and diagnose scalp issues, but some users believe in trying treatments regardless of ultrasound results.

community PSA Topical Minoxidil is Deadly to Cats

416 upvotes 4 months ago

Minoxidil is extremely toxic to cats, even from residue on surfaces, and can be deadly if they come into contact with it. Switching to oral minoxidil is suggested as a safer alternative for pet owners.

community Is PP405 actually different, or does it fall into the same pattern as previous treatments?

6 months ago

PP405 is being discussed as a potential new approach to hair loss by targeting follicle stem cells, suggesting a different mechanism from existing treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. However, there is skepticism about whether it will lead to meaningful long-term outcomes or follow the pattern of previous treatments that showed promise but lacked consistent results.

community PP405 is NOT gray market jxl069

in Technology 26 upvotes 8 months ago

PP405 is a safer alternative to JXL069 for hair loss treatment because it penetrates the skin effectively and degrades in the blood, avoiding systemic toxicity. JXL069, when forced into the body, can cause dangerous side effects like lactic acidosis due to its inability to degrade safely.

community What is the cause of "DHT itch"?

in Research/Science 7 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses the effects of using Tongkat ali and dioscorea to raise DHT levels, leading to increased body hair growth and an itchy scalp, without causing hair loss. The discussion also debates the role of DHT in male characteristics and its impact on sexual function, with differing opinions on its importance and effects.
