Oxidants cause oxidative stress. Now that is clear, I want to explain why oxidants can regrow hair. There are two primary reasons why oxidants can regrow hair:
1) Oxidants can decrease proteasome degradation. Therefore, it can act a Proteasome inhibitor. Remember that people in the past have used Proteasome inhibitors topically and grew hair.
2) Oxidants can inhibit p16 senescence. P16 activation is directly involved with the balding dermal papilla. This means that if you inhibit p16 the balding process will stop with the possibility of regrowth.
Oxidants cause oxidative stress. Therefore they can cause damage. If you do not know what oxidative stress is, please read about it. Using them may be more harmful than good if you do not know how to use an oxidant properly for hair loss.
I urge all of you to do some research for yourself. Do a searches with oxidative stress and proteasome and another search with oxidative stress and p16. Use google, google scholar, and PubMed.
The key for oxidants to work is dose and time (cycling). This needs to be experimented with.
There are two oxidants that have been discussed with no explanation as to why they can work for hair loss. Now we know the scientific reason why oxidants can cause hair to regrow. Those oxidants were:
1) Chlorine Dioxide
2) Miconazole Nitrate (nitrates cause oxidative stress)
Hope this helps.
Bye!
