research Loss of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Human Alopecia Hair Follicles
Hair follicles in people with alopecia have lower levels of a key blood vessel growth protein.
research Control of Hair Growth and Follicle Size by VEGF-Mediated Angiogenesis
VEGF helps hair grow and determines follicle size by increasing blood vessel growth.
research Protective Activity Against Oxidative Stress in Dermal Papillae With Extracted Herbal Essential Oils
Lavender, lemongrass, rosemary, and chamomile essential oils may help protect cells important for hair growth from damage and could promote hair growth.
research VEGF Upregulates VEGF Receptor-2 on Human Outer Root Sheath Cells and Stimulates Proliferation Through ERK Pathway
VEGF stimulates hair cell growth and increases growth receptor levels through a specific signaling pathway.
research Platelet-Rich Plasma in Dermatology: New Insights on the Cellular Mechanism of Skin Repair and Regeneration
PRP helps skin heal, possibly through special cells called telocytes.

5 / 86 resultscommunity Stop Complaining about Creatine. You're just fixated on shedding.
Creatine is unlikely to cause hair loss as it does not raise DHT levels. Hair loss is more likely due to genetics, medications, or lifestyle changes.
community After quitting min and fin I asked AI on how fix the mess I am in and it says:
Prolonged use of topical minoxidil and finasteride can lead to neuroendocrine and autonomic dysfunction, causing severe sensitivity and side effects. Recovery involves avoiding these treatments, supporting neurosteroid recovery, calming the sympathetic system, and rebuilding scalp health naturally.
community Why anecdotal evidence is so valued around here?
The conversation discusses why personal stories about hair loss treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are often taken more seriously than scientific evidence in certain forums. People tend to believe what they want and use others' experiences to support their own views on treatment effectiveness and side effects.
community Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to work in the scalp. Not weeks. Be careful.
Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to affect scalp DHT levels, not just a week. The prostate absorbs Dutasteride faster than the scalp due to different vascular networks and enzyme densities.
community PSA: Check your vitamin D levels!
Low vitamin D levels can negatively impact hair growth, and supplementing with vitamin D, along with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, may help improve hair health. Quitting smoking and ensuring adequate vitamin B12 and K2 intake are also suggested to support hair regrowth.
