BACKGROUND Many of today's treatments associated with 'thinning hair', such as female pattern hair loss and telogen effluvium, are focused on two of the key aspects of the condition. [] Key MethodMETHODS Testing methodology included fibre diameter measures via laser scan micrometer, assessment of fibre mechanical and behavioural properties via tensile break stress and torsion pendulum testing, and mechanistic studies including cryoscanning electron microscopy and autoradiographic analysis.

Transdermal delivery of a new hair growth promoting solution in patients with hair loss

It is found that all the patients had less hair loss and thicker hair after this treatment and additional placebo-controlled studies are needed to evaluate the efficacy of this combination treatment.

Hair Care and Cosmetics

Hair care, color, and style play an important role in people’s physical appearance and self-perception and the type of hair care and cosmetics practiced by the individual.

Hair Loss in Women

A systematic approach to diagnosis and management of common types of nonscarring hair loss, including female pattern hair loss and telogen effluvium, may be diagnosed and managed by the obstetrician/gynecologist.

Can plant‐derived phytochemicals provide symptom relief for hair loss? A critical review

This review provides a critical evaluation of the available evidence of their activity for hair benefit, excluding data obtained from animal tests, and offers recommendations on improving study validity and the robustness of data collection in pre‐clinical and clinical studies.

Transepidermal UV radiation of scalp skin ex vivo induces hair follicle damage that is alleviated by the topical treatment with caffeine

This work investigated how solar spectrum UVR that hits the human skin surface impacts on HF biology, and whether any detrimental effects can be mitigated by a widely used cosmetic and nutraceutical ingredient, caffeine.

Optimizing Therapy Beyond Evidence-Based Medicine

As with any medical problem, the patient complaining of hair loss requires a comprehensive medical and drug history, physical examination of the hair and scalp, and appropriate laboratory evaluation to identify the cause.

A Comment on the Science of Hair Aging

The discovery of pharmacological targets and the development of safe and effective drugs for treatment of hair loss indicate strategies of the drug industry for maintenance of hair growth and quantity, while the hair care industry has become capable of delivering active compounds directed toward meeting the consumer demand fortenance of hair cosmesis and quality.

Evaluation of leave-on hair serum containing higher amount of silicones.

Serums are more commonly used in styling to create a specific look, like smoothing or straightening. Serums are prepared with silicone based and coat the surface of the hair to lock in curl pattern…

One of the roadblocks to both communication between the cosmetic scientist and consumers and scientific investigations in hair care has been the lack of meaningful definitions for the important…

Minoxidil vs finasteride in the treatment of men with androgenetic alopecia.

In men with male pattern hair loss, finasteride 1 mg daily slowed the progression of hair loss and increased hair growth in clinical trials over two years.

Cuticle damage and the tensile properties of human hair

Oxidation of hair fibers with diperisophthalic acid can produce extensive damage throughout several cuticle layers that is readily observed microscopically, but no detectable changes in the tensile properties (wet or dry) are detectable.

Hair Growth Parameters in Pre- and Postmenopausal Women

In a cohort of pre- and postmenopausal women without alopecia, a modified phototrichogram was used to measure hair density, growth rate, and percentage anagen, and optical fiber diameter analysis (OFDA) was used for hair diameters.

Torsional behavior of human hair

The results of torsional measurements on fibers of different diameters suggest that the hair cuticle, while tough and resilient in the dry state, undergoes water plasticization to a much greater…

The effect of treatments on the shear modulus of human hair measured by the single fiber torsion pendulum.

A substantial inverse relationship between humidity level and shear modulus that was much more pronounced for bleached hair fibers than for untreated and the effect of moisture was evaluated.

Hair density, hair diameter and the prevalence of female pattern hair loss

Torsional method for evaluating hair damage and performance of hair care ingredients.

It is demonstrated that torsional measurements can distinguish hair care products which reinforce the cuticle from those which affect the cortex, while tensile measurements showed no significant differences.
