5 / 1000+ resultsresearch LB1029 The common fragrance, linalool, promotes core hair follicle pathology events associated with frontal fibrosing alopecia through activating a cognate olfactory receptor in the bulge
Linalool in fragrances may harm hair follicles and contribute to hair loss.
research 382 Environmental pathobiology of frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA): Does linalool promote FFA development and progression by inducing epithelial hair follicle stem cell damage and MICA expression in the bulge?
Linalool in personal care products may contribute to hair loss by damaging hair follicle stem cells and triggering harmful immune responses.
research ESDR382 - Environmental pathobiology of frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA): Does linalool promote FFA development and progression by inducing epithelial hair follicle stem cell damage and MICA expression in the bulge?
Linalool in personal care products may worsen frontal fibrosing alopecia by damaging hair follicle stem cells and triggering harmful immune responses.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Ultrasound can show you if your hair will ever grow back
Ultrasound imaging can non-invasively detect active and inactive hair follicles, inflammation, and fibrosis, potentially reducing unnecessary biopsies. It may help assess hair growth potential and diagnose scalp issues, but some users believe in trying treatments regardless of ultrasound results.
community Finasteride and natural topicals
A user reported hairline regrowth after two weeks on a treatment including finasteride, peppermint and rosemary oils, emu oil, magnesium oil spray, apple cider vinegar, and dermarolling, while avoiding shampoos and conditioners. They believe DHT contributes to hair loss but also suggest follicle fibrosis is an issue.
community Opinions on Scalp fibrosis and DHT?
The conversation discusses the theory that scalp fibrosis contributes to male pattern baldness (MPB) by increasing DHT concentration, and mentions treatments like Minoxidil. The user seeks opinions on the theory and the effectiveness of scalp massages.
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 Reducing Fibrosis in Hair Loss: Topical Pirfenidone
Topical pirfenidone is highlighted as an effective anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic treatment for hair loss, particularly in addressing perifollicular fibrosis, which may enhance the effectiveness of standard treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. The user also uses calcipotriol, MCT oil, ciclopirox shampoo, and benzoyl peroxide shampoo as part of their regimen.
