Research
5 / 1000+ resultsresearch [A longitudinal elasticity study of hair from the human head in forensic medicine].
The method effectively measures hair elasticity and could be useful in forensics.
research Evaluation of hair humidity resistance/moisturization from hair elasticity.
Polyquaternium-70 shampoo is best for reducing frizz.
research Assessing Dihydrotestosterone-Induced Skin Alterations in C57BL/6 Mice: Implications for Androgenetic Alopecia through High-Resolution Ultrasound Imaging
DHT causes thicker and less elastic skin, linked to hair loss.
research Effect of anti-keratin antibody on the nature of hair
Anti-keratin antibody from cow milk makes damaged hair stronger and less likely to break.
research Characterization of the mechanical properties of the cortex region of human hair fibers by multiparametric Atomic Force Microscopy mapping
Atomic Force Microscopy is a more accurate way to assess hair damage and the effect of cosmetic treatments.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Hair loss research focused on chemistry for decades because we misunderstood the mechanics of growth.
Hair growth relies on mechanical forces, not just chemicals, with tissue acting like a motor. Minoxidil and finasteride help, but maintaining tissue elasticity and addressing mechanical issues are essential.
community Using botox more effective than finasteride - and an argument against FUT
Botox injections may be more effective than finasteride for hair growth by reducing scalp tension. The discussion also suggests choosing FUE over FUT due to potential loss of scalp elasticity with FUT.
community Why hasn’t anybody or any company done experiments on whether minoxidil and finasteride have effects on human collagen and elastin after a year of use compared to placebo? (In vivo not vitro)
The conversation discusses the lack of in vivo studies on the effects of minoxidil and finasteride on human collagen and elastin after a year of use. It highlights the potential benefits of such research for understanding side effects and improving sales, despite challenges like cost and competition.
community Perifollicular Fibrosis and its role in androgenetic alopecia. Is Aminexil/Kopexil a must for anyone with AGA?
Aminexil/Kopexil may help reduce hair loss by addressing perifollicular fibrosis in androgenetic alopecia, but it lacks the extensive clinical backing of finasteride and minoxidil. Some users find it effective, but availability and cost are issues, especially in the US where it's not FDA-approved.
community My progress after 4-5 months of taking meds
The user experienced positive hair regrowth after 4-5 months using oral minoxidil (10mg) and finasteride (1mg) without side effects. Concerns were raised about the high dosage of minoxidil and potential long-term health risks.
