research In-Situ Tensile Testing of Hair Fibers in An Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM)
Hair fibers break by cuticle cell slipping, shape changing, cuticle fraying, and surface cracking when stretched under specific conditions.
research Ultrastructural alterations and environmental exposure influence the opiate concentrations in hair of drug addicts
Environmental factors can greatly reduce drug levels in hair.
research Microscopical characterization of known postmortem root bands using light and scanning electron microscopy
The research found that postmortem root bands in hair are likely caused by the breakdown of a specific part of the hair's inner structure after death.
research Impact of acid straightener's pH value in the hair fiber properties
Lower pH straighteners change hair more but weaken it.
research Understanding breakage in curly hair
Curly hair breaks due to mechanical damage and environmental factors, not chemical makeup, and needs ongoing care to prevent breakage.

The conversation is about the effectiveness of hair loss treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil. Users agree these treatments help maintain hair but don't guarantee miraculous regrowth, emphasizing early intervention for best results.
community switched from topical to oral minoxidil (topical mixed with water) 3 months ago and aside from being much easier i’ve also had much more density overall. My results aren’t even finished yet!
This user discussed using oral minoxidil as a hair loss treatment, and was cautioned against mixing topical minoxidil with water and drinking it due to potential side effects and risks. Other users shared their concerns about the dangers of self-prescribing medications without consulting a doctor.
community How long does it take after an environmental / lifestyle change for hair loss to actually slow down?
Lifestyle changes may not significantly impact hair loss, as factors like DHT and genetics play a larger role. Some users suggest treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and microneedling for hair growth.
community Minoxidil: How It Changes the Scalp Hormone Environment
Minoxidil increases blood supply to the scalp, strengthening dormant follicles and extending the growth phase, but may increase scalp activity that can be countered with DHT blockers. Women experiencing side effects from finasteride or dutasteride for hair loss might consider alternatives like estrogen, especially if on birth control.
community Minoxidil Storage Conditions in Summer
Store minoxidil and minoxidil+finasteride solutions in a cool environment, ideally below 25°C, to maintain effectiveness. Consider using a wine cellar or fridge for stable, low temperatures.
