June 2021 in “Journal of Emerging Technologies and Innovative Research” Rice water and hibiscus can help improve hair health and growth.
October 2018 in “Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research” Otoplasty can cause permanent hair loss if bandages are too tight.
May 2018 in “International journal of cell science & molecular biology” Early anti-aging hair treatments should focus on anti-inflammatory agents and promoting healthy hair growth cycles.

December 2017 in “Elsevier eBooks” The vitamin D receptor helps maintain hair and bone health even without binding vitamin D.
September 2017 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Scarred skin in lichen planopilaris loses immune cells due to a decrease in a specific protein in skin cells.
September 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” HIF-1A may aid hair growth, Backhousia citriodora improves skin, autologous cells stabilize hair loss, infrared thermography assesses alopecia, and a new treatment preserves hair.

April 2017 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” HSD11b1 affects skin nerves and increases non-histaminergic itch.
January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
May 2015 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Wnt-3a helps grow more skin stem cells, which could lead to new hair loss treatments.
November 2013 in “Elsevier eBooks” Skin and hair renewal is maintained by both fast and slow cycling stem cells, with hair regrowth primarily driven by specific stem cells in the hair follicle bulge. These cells can also help heal wounds and potentially treat hair loss.
March 2018 in “John Wiley & Sons, Ltd eBooks” Surgical therapies for vitiligo vary in effectiveness, with combination therapy and medical tattooing recommended for better results.
