HIF-1α is a protein that responds when cells have low oxygen levels (AKA hypoxia). Hypoxia may be associated with hair loss and preventing it may increase hair growth. Therefore increasing HIF-1-alpha could help increase hair growth. Let’s see how you can use this to increase your hair growth…
New research from Northwestern’s Feinberg School of Medicine in Illinois has discovered that as we age hair becomes ‘harder’ making it less likely to grow. By softening it, more hair grows. Here’s what you need to know…
I’ve just reviewed a report showing incredible hair growth results from use of topical Calcipotriol. Check it out…
Lactoferrin is a protein found in milk. A study has found that the protein increases dermal papila proliferation, which results in increased hair growth (at least in mice). Lactoferrin therefore has potential as a hair loss treatment.
Sandalore is a perfume chemical designed to smell like Sandalwood. Amazingly though, researchers have discovered that the chemical binds to receptors in the scalp, causing the hair growth phase length to increase and an increase in IGF-1 secretion, leading to increased hair growth.
It might astonish you to know that snail slime contains chemicals which not only rejuvenate the skin, but may help promote hair regrowth too. Snail slime has a long history as a cosmetic product. The Ancient Greeks and Romans would let snails travel across their faces to moisturize the skin and remove wrinkles. Known also […]
The Murine Model used in research (based on mouse and rat subjects) has been both disparaged and lauded by many. The naysayers have seen (unrelated) results that don’t transfer well to humans; the supporters point to other (unrelated) studies where the results integrated perfectly. The Murine Model is extremely useful in research or else it […]
this protein functions to interrupt the growth of hair Recently, a group of scientists from Yonsei University, in South Korea, discovered a new way to treat patients with hair loss. According to their research, a new substance could help grow new hair follicles while reducing the side effects from existing medications for hair loss. In […]
Borage Oil, also known as Starflower Oil, comes from the Borago officinalis flower and is thought to treat a wide array of issues, including Athsma, Arthritis, and improving brain function. However, there is little to no evidence to support these claims. There’s a widespread idea that Borage Oil is a great treatment for hair loss, […]
Scientists believe that they may be able to cure baldness following the research they investigated in rat skin. The specific skin cell that they have focused in on are the “dermal papillae” cells, which have the ability to grow new hair follicles, even on skin that isn’t supposed to grow hair. Although the experiments worked […]
Grape seeds contain powerful antioxidants and their extracts comprise a family of chemicals known as oligomeric proanthocyanidin complexes. Similar substances are also found in many other plants such as apples (Janowiak and Carson, 2004). Proanthocyanidins convert to procyanidins which possess a stronger anti-oxidative effect (Lourith and Kanlayavattanakul, 2013). Grape seed for hair growth Takahashi et […]
The link between vitamin C and hair growth has been shown in many laboratory studies. In a study by Sung et al., ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, a derivative of Vitamin C, was used to treat patients with androgenic alopecia (2006). The study found that there was “significant growth stimulation” in the cells located in the scalp, […]
It has been suggested that each of the three different functions of the skin (circulatory, neurovegetative and immunological) act in response to medication introduced through mesotherapy (Baran & Maibach, 2010) to promote healing, cell regeneration and hair regrowth. It is also believed that the skin acts as a natural time-release system of solutions that are […]
Zinc is one of the most important minerals your body needs to work properly – only iron is found in a higher concentration among other trace minerals. Your body needs zinc for cell division (and therefore growth), wound healing and to break down carbohydrates. Moreover, zinc fuels your immune system and is essential for fetal […]
