GlossaryAmmonium Thioglycolate (Thio)

chemical used in hair perming to break disulfide bonds

Ammonium Thioglycolate, also known as "Thio" or "Perm Salt," is a chemical compound commonly used in hair perming and straightening treatments. It works by breaking the disulfide bonds in the hair's keratin structure, allowing the hair to be reshaped into curls or straightened. This process is reversible, meaning the hair can return to its natural state over time or with additional treatments.

community Don't use PP405 from everychem. it is likely fake.

in Research/Science 65 upvotes 8 months ago

PP405 from Everychem is likely fake and potentially harmful, with concerns about its stability and the risk of using the wrong MPC inhibitor, which could damage hair follicles. The real PP405 was studied under strict conditions, and DIY attempts are discouraged due to unknown formulation and quality control.

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
