research Epidermal growth factor, but not cortisol, suppresses fibre growth in cultured follicles

4 citations , September 2003 in “Livestock Production Science”

This study found that epidermal growth factor significantly reduced fibre growth in cultured Tukidale and Romney hair follicles, while cortisol had no effect on follicle growth.

research Fractal geometry and topology abstracted from hair fibers

7 citations , August 2009 in “Applied Mathematics and Mechanics-English Edition”

This study demonstrates that (9+2) topological patterns derived from fractal fiber sets exist, with nine total patterns and only two being independent or fundamental.

research Some Tensile Properties of Specialty Hair Fibers

6 citations , December 1966 in “Textile Research Journal”

Animal hair fibers like wool and mohair are strong when dry, but vicuna fibers are very brittle.

research Mode of action of mouse epidermal growth factor on the wool follicles of Merino sheep: an ultrastructural study

9 citations , October 1989 in “Australian Journal of Agricultural Research”

This study found that infused mouse epidermal growth factor induced wool follicle involution through a quasi-physiological process similar to catagen and a separate pathological action, resulting in fleece 'break' or shedding.

research Penetration of different molecular weight hydrolysed keratins into hair fibres and their effects on the physical properties of textured hair

7 citations , September 2020 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science”

This study investigated the effects of wool-derived hydrolysed keratin peptides on relaxed textured hair and found that mid- and high-molecular weight peptides improved mechanical strength and reduced breakage in different humidity conditions.

community A little more than a month using red light therapy. I'm surprised by the progress.

263 upvotes 5 months ago

Red light therapy has shown promising results in hair regrowth for the user, who avoids minoxidil and finasteride due to side effects. The user follows a healthy lifestyle with diet, exercise, and sauna use, and will continue monitoring the therapy's effectiveness.

community Claim: Insulin resistance increases the enzyme that creates DHT and affects the liver's ability to control hormones

in Research/Science 4 upvotes 11 months ago

Insulin resistance may increase DHT production, contributing to hair loss, and addressing it through diet, nutrients, and natural DHT blockers like saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil could help reverse hair loss. Some users prefer medications like finasteride for more effective results.

community Haircafe slams pp405 presentation. Are results really that bad?

64 upvotes 6 months ago

PP405 shows promise in activating dormant hair follicles and increasing hair counts but lacks detailed efficacy data compared to minoxidil and finasteride. Opinions are mixed, with some optimism and skepticism about its effectiveness.

community If we can clone a sheep why we can't cure baldness till now

in Research/Science 181 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and stem cell therapies exist, but a complete cure is hindered by genetic complexity and market dynamics. Cloning hair follicles is considered a potential solution, but it's currently not feasible.
