research Androgens and alopecia
Male hormones, particularly DHT, are linked to male pattern hair loss, and treatments like finasteride can help, but they don't work for postmenopausal women's hair loss, which may have different causes.

C-tactile nerves are sensitive to hair movement.
research Exhaustive analysis of scalp hair regression: subjective and objective perception from initial hair loss to severe miniaturisation and drug-induced regrowth
Hair loss reduces hair thickness and coverage, but drug treatments mainly revive dormant hairs rather than reverse thinning; patients often undervalue their hair loss severity.
research Anatomy and Biology of Hair at Different Ages
Hair grows in cycles and changes with age, starting from fetal development.
research Formulation and Evaluation of Herbal Hair Gel for Hair Growth Potential
The herbal hair gel with Eclipta alba and Lippia nodiflora extracts was more effective at growing hair than the control gel and minoxidil.

research Anagen effluvium
Hair usually grows back 1-3 months after treatment for anagen effluvium, and children with Loose Anagen Hair Syndrome often improve by adolescence.
research Spermidine Promotes Human Hair Growth and Is a Novel Modulator of Human Epithelial Stem Cell Functions
Spermidine may help reduce hair loss and deserves further testing as a treatment.
research A position effect on TRPS1 is associated with Ambras syndrome in humans and the Koala phenotype in mice
A position effect on the TRPS1 gene causes excessive hair growth in humans and mice.
research A prospective randomized trial comparing finasteride to spironolactone in the treatment of hirsute women.
Finasteride and spironolactone both reduce hirsutism, but finasteride lowers androgen levels more.
research Multipotent nestin-expressing stem cells capable of forming neurons are located in the upper, middle and lower part of the vibrissa hair follicle
Stem cells in hair follicles can become neurons and other cells, especially in the upper part, useful for nerve repair.
