research From Telogen to Exogen: Mechanisms Underlying Formation and Subsequent Loss of the Hair Club Fiber

81 citations , April 2009 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This review discusses the shedding phase of the hair cycle, known as exogen, and reports no new findings while analyzing related processes like club fiber formation and release.

research A simple immunofluorescence technique for simultaneous visualization of mast cells and nerve fibers reveals selectivity and hair cycle - dependent changes in mast cell - nerve fiber contacts in murine skin

109 citations , April 1997 in “Archives of Dermatological Research”

The researchers reported that mast cell and nerve fiber interactions in mouse skin are highly selective for nerve fiber types and vary depending on the hair cycle phase.

research Fiber growth initiation in hair follicles of goats treated with melatonin

48 citations , September 1993 in “The journal of experimental zoology/Journal of experimental zoology”

In this study, melatonin implants advanced and synchronized spring hair growth in goats by initiating fiber growth earlier than in untreated goats, with associated suppression of normal prolactin rise.

research Efficacy Assessment of a Nutraceutical with a Marine Protein Complex in the Reduction of Female Telogen EffluviumEfficacy Assessment of a Nutraceutical with a Marine Protein Complex in the Reduction of Female Telogen Effluvium

April 2017 in “Journal of dermatology & cosmetology”

In this controlled study, a 6-month treatment with the nutraceutical product ViviScal® reduced telogen hair fibers and increased total hair fibers in 83% of participants with Telogen Effluvium, who also reported improved hair and nail growth, skin appearance, and overall quality of life.

community 25M Exploring Causes of Hair Loss: TE, Alopecia, or AGA?

in General 226 upvotes 1 year ago

The user is experiencing hair loss with possible causes including chronic telogen effluvium, diffuse alopecia areata, and androgenic alopecia. They have tried treatments like Nizoral shampoo, minoxidil, and finasteride, and are considering a biopsy for further clarity.

community Thanks God, my hair is back from dead.

in Progress Pictures 612 upvotes 1 year ago

The user experienced significant hair regrowth using a topical solution of minoxidil 5% and finasteride 0.1% over 100 days, with plans to continue for a year before switching to a maintenance dose. Despite skepticism from others about using hair fibers, the user insists on the authenticity of their progress and reports no side effects from the treatment.

community How much shedding on dutasteride is too much? Really stressed out.

5 upvotes 3 years ago

The user experienced significant hair shedding after switching from finasteride to dutasteride, which was attributed to telogen effluvium likely worsened by stress and an abrupt medication change. The user returned to finasteride and started oral minoxidil, resulting in hair recovery to 80-90% of its original state.

community Oral Fin+Min: Digital microscope scalp review - Day 0 Vs 3 Months

1399 upvotes 1 year ago

A user used oral finasteride and minoxidil for hair loss, seeing new hair growth under a microscope but no visible change. Commenters debated if the growth was real hair or fibers, and the user will update every 90 days.

community The Real Reason For Hair Loss?

9 months ago

Hair loss is linked to scalp fibrosis and tension, which result from chronic mechanical stress and androgenic signaling. Treatments include blocking androgens with finasteride, promoting hair growth with topical minoxidil, and improving scalp mobility through exercises.

learn Botox

Can Botox reduce chronic hair shedding? Whether Botox reduces chronic shedding is unknown: one very small 2022 trial in telogen effluvium had no placebo arm, and the blood-flow theory is unproven. Scalp Botox for hair loss is off-label, and all botulinum toxin products carry an FDA boxed warning.

learn Vitamin B12

How does Vitamin B12 deficiency contribute to hair loss and thinning? Severe vitamin B12 deficiency may contribute to diffuse shedding (telogen effluvium). It is not a known cause of pattern hair loss, and a blood test is needed to confirm a deficiency.

learn Baricitinib

Can Baricitinib work if my hair loss is from stress or anxiety? Baricitinib is approved for severe alopecia areata in adults, an autoimmune condition. It has not been shown to work for stress-related shedding (telogen effluvium) and carries an FDA boxed warning.

learn Azelaic Acid

azelaic acid: Does it work for all types of hair loss or just DHT? One small randomised trial (26 women, no placebo) found no significant difference between 5% azelaic acid and 2% minoxidil for female pattern hair loss, which is too small to show they work equally well, and the anti-DHT rationale rests on laboratory work. For alopecia areata, telogen effluvium and seborrhoeic dermatitis there is no trial evidence for azelaic acid at all.

learn Omega 3

Can low omega-3 intake after a diet change weaken hair? There is no good evidence that low omega-3 intake causes hair loss or that adding omega-3 restores hair. If hair thinned after a diet change, ask a doctor to check for iron deficiency, low protein or calorie intake, or telogen effluvium.
