research Exploring the effects of wetting and free fatty acid deposition on an atomistic hair fiber surface model incorporating Keratin Associated Protein 5-1
Water and fatty acids affect hair's surface differently based on hair damage, and models can help understand hair-cosmetic interactions.
research Exploring the Effects of Wetting and Free Fatty Acid Deposition on an Atomistic Hair Fiber Surface Model Incorporating Keratin-Associated Protein 5-1
Damaged hair allows water to penetrate more easily, and fatty acids from shampoos can deposit on hair surfaces.
research Investigation of hair dye deposition, hair color loss, and hair damage during multiple oxidative dyeing and shampooing cycles.
Repeated dyeing and shampooing cause hair color loss and damage.
research Influence of particle parameters on deposition onto healthy and damaged human hair
Particles stick better to healthy hair than damaged hair.
research Physico-chemical properties of modern cosmetics for styling and their effect on hair structure
Modern hair styling products don't repair hair but improve its surface and stability.

A user created oral minoxidil sugar cubes due to lack of prescription access, leading to a humorous discussion about unconventional and potentially unsafe methods of using minoxidil. The conversation highlights the lengths people go to for hair growth.
community If half life of fin is 6-8 hours in the blood but 5-6 days in tissue (scalp) why don't people apply topical every 3-4 days to minimize systemic?
The discussion revolves around the frequency of applying topical finasteride for hair loss treatment. The main question is whether applying it every 4-5 days could still be effective, given that its half-life in the scalp tissue is 5-6 days.
community Scalp tension and thickness of the galea aponeurotica, inflammation and potential treatment pathways
Scalp tension potentially affecting hair loss, and potential treatments for male pattern baldness such as Minoxidil, Finasteride and RU58841. Evidence from a study was discussed which suggests that the cause of MPB lies within the follicle itself and is not dependent on its surrounding environment.
community PSA Topical Minoxidil is Deadly to Cats
Minoxidil is extremely toxic to cats, even from residue on surfaces, and can be deadly if they come into contact with it. Switching to oral minoxidil is suggested as a safer alternative for pet owners.
community Quercetin got rid of my scalp soreness
Quercetin reduced scalp soreness and may help with histamine-related hair loss. The soreness felt like inflamed follicles beneath the scalp surface.
