research Exploring the Effects of Wetting and Free Fatty Acid Deposition on a Hair Fiber Surface Model Incorporating Keratin Associated Protein 5-1
Water and fatty acids affect hair's surface differently based on hair damage, and models can help understand hair-cosmetic interactions.
research Moisture Sorption/Desorption of Protein Fibers
Internal lipids in keratin fibers, like wool and hair, reduce water absorption and release.
research Atomistic Characterization of Healthy and Damaged Hair Surfaces: A Molecular Dynamics Study of Fatty Acids on Protein Layer
Replenishing free 18-MEA can help restore damaged hair surfaces.
research Exogenous and Endogenous Lipids of Human Hair
Removing external lipids from hair reduces moisture and increases strength, while removing internal lipids decreases water permeability.
research Role of Lipids in Water Permeation of Different Curl Pattern Hair Types
Lipid content and structure affect water absorption in different hair types.

The user mixes their own RU58841 solution and found that increasing the ethanol content improved absorption and reduced scalp itching. A study on minoxidil showed that penetration increased with higher ethanol concentrations, reaching maximum penetration at 90% ethanol.
community Can I mix finasteride in just water for topical?
The conversation is about whether finasteride can be mixed with just water for a topical solution and if Isopropyl Alcohol and Propylene Glycol are necessary for effectiveness and faster drying. The user is seeking advice on the formulation of topical finasteride.
community RU58841 in Pumpkin Seed Oil (PSO)
A user is seeing good results with RU58841 for hair loss, noting reduced shedding and thicker hair. They plan to use pumpkin seed oil as a solvent to avoid water content, which they believe reduces the effectiveness of anti-androgens.
community My personal experience/observations fighting AGA seriously for 5 years
Minoxidil with alcohol and propylene glycol was more effective than non-alcohol versions, and RU58841 worked best in a non-water-based solution. Oral finasteride showed better results than topical, despite side effects; microneedling and tretinoin worsened hair loss, and PRP was only helpful when younger.
community Soundwaves & Electricity Grows Hair? | Peptide Delivery Model.
Iontophoresis and sonophoresis can enhance drug delivery into the scalp. Combining these methods may improve the effectiveness of topical treatments like dutasteride and certain peptides.
