5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Structural change of keratin protein in human hair by permanent waving treatment
This study found that permanent waving treatment partially disrupts the α-helical structure in human hair microfibrils, primarily during the initial reduction phase, rather than just affecting disulphide bonds.
research Effect of shampoo, conditioner and permanent waving on the molecular structure of human hair
This study found that shampoo and conditioner do not alter hair's molecular structure, while perming treatments significantly affect keratin and intermediate filament structures due to bond alterations.
research A Survey on Health Effects in a Human Population Exposed to Permanent‐Waving Solution Containing Thioglycolic Acid
This study found that the reproductive function of female hairdressers may be negatively affected by long-term exposure to permanent-waving solutions containing thioglycolic acid, raising concerns about its potential carcinogenic effects.

community Does anyone here have a receeding hairline from wearing the hijab?
A female user discusses hair loss possibly caused by wearing a hijab, considering treatments like derma stamping, hair serum, Nizoral shampoo, rosemary/castor oil, and possibly a hair transplant. Others suggest traction alopecia from hijab use and recommend consulting a dermatologist, with treatments like spironolactone and minoxidil.
community Looking for advice in a unique situation: Currently wearing a hair system, but continuing to experience thinning on the sides. Had one transplant to correct temple peak areas, but need to know where to go from here.
A user is experiencing hair thinning on the sides while wearing a hair system and has had a transplant to correct temple peaks. They are using finasteride, oral minoxidil, and rosemary oil serum, and are considering a corrective transplant to add density and achieve a natural look.
community Why aren't they researching how to make Minoxidil's effect permanent instead of it weaning off over time?
Minoxidil's effects on hair regrowth diminish over time because it doesn't address the root cause of hair loss, and its mechanism isn't fully understood. Combining it with treatments like finasteride or dutasteride can help maintain its effectiveness, but permanent solutions are unlikely due to the complexity of hair loss biology.
