Discovered a substance that stimulates hair growth in humans. It is used in perfumery and in the manufacture of cosmetics to simulate the smell of sandalwood.
The research is conducted research staff from the UK and Germany. One of the authors Professor Ralf Paus said, this discovery happened for the first time. Failed to establish that simple flavoring often used in perfumery and cosmetics, it is possible to realize the adjustment process of changes in the structure of the hair. A substance discovered by scientists, called shandalar. It is a synthetic sandalwood fragrance that has the ability to influence the OR2AT4 receptor in follicles of human hair, said the source Magicforum.
For research were invited volunteers, 20 women. They had to use everyday cosmetics containing synthetic sandalwood fragrance. In the end it turned out that when you put the flavoring on the scalp, there has been increased growth of hair, and the number of dead cells decreased.
Thus, scientists believe they found a good way that can help people. However, to prove It one hundred percent at the moment they can’t. Therefore, in the future, scientists plan to conduct another study, where volunteers will be invited to participate in scientific experiments to determine whether synthetic sandalwood fragrance to restore hair growth.
