5 / 738 resultscommunity Weed/THC effects on hair growth/hair loss, and vitality of organ-culture human follicle studies (research review)
Cannabis and THC may have mixed effects on hair, with some studies suggesting potential negative impacts on hair growth in isolated hair follicles, but these results are hard to apply to living humans. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used for hair loss, and the effects of cannabis might be neutral or vary based on individual factors.
community Why do celebrities call it Propecia while everyone else calls in Finasteride?
Celebrities often use brand names like Propecia for finasteride due to brand recognition, marketing, and potential sponsorships. In contrast, the general public and online communities may use generic names, reflecting differences in cultural and healthcare practices.
community Summary of Procapil video by Haircafe
Procapil is marketed as a natural hair loss treatment but lacks strong evidence and is industry-biased. Minoxidil and Finasteride are the only FDA-approved treatments for androgenetic alopecia.
community Looks like a real cure to the root of baldness (DHT-induced senescence) was proven earlier this year
A study that outlines the full model for androgenic alopecia (AGA) which links DHT to cellular senescence in dermal papilla cells, and suggests black chokeberry as a source of cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside polyphenol with potential anti-oxidant properties that could reverse this process. The post encourages reaching out to experts in anti-aging and longevity to research treatments involving the polyphenol.
community Finally trying a buzz cut. How do I look?
This user discussed their hair loss journey and shared pictures to get advice on the best treatment option. They had been using finasteride since November 2020, with a minimal amount of ground lost, and recently added minoxidil in April 2021. A transplant was suggested as an option, although they have not made a decision yet.
