May 2026 in “Revista Ensaios Pioneiros” This study explores a topical solution combining 5% minoxidil sulfate and 1% rosemary essential oil for treating androgenetic alopecia (AAG), a leading cause of hair loss. Minoxidil is known for promoting hair growth by enhancing peripheral vasodilation and extending the anagen phase, while rosemary oil offers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits for scalp health. Two formulations with different vehicle compositions were developed, both showing suitable physicochemical properties and homogeneity, indicating potential as a compounded treatment for AAG. The vehicle type did not affect the outcome. Further accelerated stability studies and clinical trials are recommended to confirm the therapeutic efficacy and safety of this combination.

May 2026 in “Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology” This critical review examines the oxidative damage to human hair caused by solar radiation and pollution, highlighting that protein and lipid oxidation lead to structural breakdown. The study finds that UVB radiation primarily affects the hair cuticle, while UVA and visible light impact the cortex, with light-colored and bleached hair suffering the most damage. The review emphasizes that solar radiation is the primary damaging factor, but trace metals, air-borne pollution, and hair care practices also contribute to hair degradation. Strategies for hair protection should consider the specific combination of hair characteristics and environmental exposures, referred to as the "hair exposome."
