GlossaryMechanical Properties

describe material's response to forces like tension and compression

Mechanical properties refer to the characteristics of a material that describe its behavior under various types of force or load. These properties include strength, elasticity, hardness, and toughness, and they determine how a material responds to mechanical stresses such as tension, compression, and shear. For example, in the context of hair, mechanical properties would influence how hair withstands brushing, styling, and environmental factors without breaking or becoming damaged.

in Finasteride 28 upvotes 7 years ago

The user regrew their hairline using mechanical stimulation, including a 1.5mm derma roller weekly, daily scalp massages, and other treatments like Nizoral, zinc pyrithione, fish oil, and Lipogaine The Big 5. They did not use Minoxidil or finasteride.

community I am actually regrowing my hairline without minoxidil or finasteride (mechanical stimulation)

128 upvotes 7 years ago

Regrowing hairline without the use of Minoxidil or Finasteride, and instead using mechanical stimulation such as Derma Roller, Nizoral, Zinc Pyrithione, Scalp Massage, Scalp Exercise, Fish Oil and other topical solutions. It is cautioned that there are risks associated with not using medically-prescribed treatments, but it is suggested to consider mechanical stimulation in addition to those prescribed treatments.
