5 / 93 resultscommunity Got a microscope camera. Here’s the difference between healthy and miniaturized hair
A user who shared progress pictures of their scalp using a microscope camera, demonstrating the difference between healthy and miniaturized hair. Various explanations for the cause of this were discussed, such as DHT build-up in scalp sebum causing an autoimmune response leading to inflammation and eventual hair loss, with some suggesting a do-it-yourself treatment involving adding ascorbic acid powder to shampoo.
community Proposed new pathogenesis model for androgenetic alopecia (AGA)
The conversation discusses a new model for understanding androgenetic alopecia (AGA), linking it to dietary and lifestyle factors similar to PCOS, and highlighting the role of DHT, vascular damage, and inflammation. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community Scalp tension and thickness of the galea aponeurotica, inflammation and potential treatment pathways
Scalp tension potentially affecting hair loss, and potential treatments for male pattern baldness such as Minoxidil, Finasteride and RU58841. Evidence from a study was discussed which suggests that the cause of MPB lies within the follicle itself and is not dependent on its surrounding environment.
community (Topical) Quercetin might be a good add on to the hair loss stack
Quercetin might help with hair loss by inhibiting HSP-70, which increases androgen receptors. Concerns include its staining properties and unclear topical absorption.
community Supplements for Health hair as for Gemini & Grok
The conversation discusses various supplements and vitamins like Vitamin D3, K2, Biotin, Iron, Zinc, and B Vitamins for improving hair health. It also mentions a combination of Tocotrienols, Pycnogenol, Saw Palmetto, Pumpkin Seed Oil, Stinging Nettle, and Myricetin for stabilizing hair, with Saw Palmetto, Pygeum, and Stinging Nettle noted for thickening hair despite side effects.
