Red ginseng oil and its components help promote hair regrowth and could treat hair loss.
research Absence of vellus hair in the hairline: a videodermatoscopic feature of frontal fibrosing alopecia
Lack of small, fine hair on the front hairline is a key sign of frontal fibrosing alopecia.
research Exclamation marks and other trichoscopic signs of chemotherapy-induced alopecia
Chemotherapy can cause hair changes similar to alopecia areata, which might lead to misdiagnosis.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: Role of Dermoscopy in Differential Diagnosis
Dermoscopy helps diagnose frontal fibrosing alopecia by distinguishing it from other hair loss conditions.
research The hair growth promoting effect of ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, a long-acting Vitamin C derivative

research Dihydrotestosterone inhibits hair growth in mice by inhibiting insulin-like growth factor-I production in dermal papillae
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) stops hair growth in mice by lowering a growth factor important for hair.
research Melatonin promotes Cashmere goat (Capra hircus) secondary hair follicle growth: a view from integrated analysis of long non-coding and coding RNAs
Melatonin helps Cashmere goats grow more hair by affecting certain genes and cell pathways.
research Understanding and Addressing Hair Disorders in Transgender Individuals
Hormone therapy affects hair growth in transgender individuals, with testosterone potentially causing hair loss in trans men and estrogen reducing facial/body hair in trans women; treatment options vary.
research Syphilitic alopecia: uncommon trichoscopic findings
