research Measurement of hair growth
Scalp hair grows at 0.37 mm/day, forearm hair at 0.18 mm/day, and thigh hair at 0.30 mm/day, with no significant differences found in people with certain hair conditions.
research Light microscopy of the hair: A simple tool to "untangle" hair disorders
Light microscopy is useful for diagnosing different hair disorders.
research Hair and scalp disorders in women of African descent: an overview
The document concludes that clinicians should be aware of common hair and scalp disorders in women of African descent and that more research is needed to develop effective treatments.
research Investigation of aging effects in human hair using atomic force microscopy
Aging makes hair thinner and rougher, with less clear edges.
research Efficacy of an agonist ofα-MSH, the palmitoyl tetrapeptide-20, in hair pigmentation
Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-20 may help reduce hair greying and increase melanin production.
research The effects of finasteride (Proscar) on hair growth, hair cycle stage, and serum testosterone and dihydrotestosterone in adult male and female stumptail macaques (Macaca arctoides).
Finasteride increases hair growth, prolongs hair cycle, and lowers dihydrotestosterone levels.
research How different is human hair? A critical appraisal of the reported differences in global hair fibre characteristics and properties towards defining a more relevant framework for hair type classification
Human hair varies widely and should be classified by curl type rather than race.
research Why care about Linear Hair Growth Rates (LHGR)? A study using in vivo imaging and computer assisted image analysis after manual processing (CAIAMP) in unaffected male controls and men with male pattern hair loss (MPHL)
Thicker hair grows faster; hair loss patients have slower growth.
research The Effect of Methylsulfonylmethane on Hair Growth Promotion of Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate for the Treatment of Alopecia
Combining MSM with MAP significantly promotes hair growth.
research The Effects of Smoking on Hair Health: A Systematic Review
Smoking is linked to more hair loss and premature graying compared to nonsmokers.
research Cyclical dermal micro-niche switching governs the morphological infradian rhythm of mouse zigzag hair
Mouse zigzag hair bends form due to a 3-day cycle of changes in hair progenitors and their environment.
research Naked Hair Shafts as a Marker of Cicatricial Alopecia
Naked hair shafts are significantly associated with scarring hair loss and may help diagnose it, especially when multiple are found.
research Inhibition of Rab27a and Rab27b Has Opposite Effects on the Regulation of Hair Cycle and Hair Growth
Blocking Rab27a slows hair growth, while blocking Rab27b encourages it.
research Hair diameter measurement methods: micrometer caliper versus phototrichogram
The phototrichogram is better for measuring hair thickness.
research Analysis of Hair Loss Status and Influencing Factors Among Undergraduate Students
Many college students experience mild hair loss, influenced by factors like gender, family history, and lifestyle, suggesting a need for health education.
research Scalp cooling therapy for chemotherapy-induced hair loss in Asian patients with breast or gynecological cancers – a tertiary institution experience
Scalp cooling therapy helps preserve hair during chemotherapy for most patients.
research Irradiation-induced hair graying in mice: an experimental model to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions targeting oxidative stress, DNA damage prevention, and cellular senescence
Using radiation to make mice's hair turn gray helps study and find ways to prevent or reverse hair graying.
research Assessment of Efficacy and Safety Profile of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy with Derma Roller in the Treatment of Female Pattern Hair Loss
PRP therapy with a derma roller is a safe and effective treatment for female hair loss.
research Human Hair: An Important Biological Matrix of Interest
Human hair is a significant sample for various tests in clinical, nutritional, archaeological, and forensic studies.
research TENSILE STRENGTH OF SCALP HAIR IN WOMEN WITH HAIR LOSS
Women with hair loss have weaker hair that breaks more easily.
research Peer Review #2 of "Human hair shaft proteomic profiling: individual differences, site specificity and cuticle analysis (v0.1)"
The research found that people's hair proteins vary, especially by ethnicity and body part, which could help identify individuals in forensic science.
research Peer Review #1 of "Human hair shaft proteomic profiling: individual differences, site specificity and cuticle analysis (v0.1)"
The research found that people's hair proteins vary by individual and body part, with some differences between ethnic groups, which could help in forensics.
research Trichotillometry: the quantitation of hair pluckability as a method of nutritional
Malnourished people have weaker hair that is easier to pluck.
research Elemental hair analysis: A review of procedures and applications
Hair elemental analysis could be useful for health and exposure assessment but requires more standardization and research.

Finasteride increases hair weight and count in men with hair loss, with best results after four years.
research Plucked human hair as a tissue in which to assess pharmacodynamic end points during drug development studies
Plucked human hair can be used to study drug effects on certain cell markers.
research Clinical relevance of hair microscopy in alopecia
Hair microscopy is useful for diagnosing certain hair loss conditions but has limitations and must be interpreted carefully.
research Glucose and acetate metabolism by isolated sheep wool follicles
Sheep wool follicles can metabolize both glucose and acetate using different pathways important for wool growth.
