Studies have already shown that by irradiating bald skin using red lasers, hair follicles can be stimulated into growing new hair. Unfortunately, though, such laser setups are large, cumbersome and energy-inefficient. With that in mind, scientists have developed a wearable LED photostimulator.

Traditional synthetic hair dyes can be quite toxic, not only to our bodies, but also to the environment. As a result, scientists are developing non-toxic dyes based on substances such as graphene. Now, it appears that waste blackcurrant skins can also do the job.

Despite a hefty amount of research, science still hasn’t cracked the mystery of how to stimulate hair regrowth. A study has now uncovered an entirely new way to promote human hair growth – and it's inspired by a side effect of a nearly 50-year-old drug.

Graphene, the "wonder material" composed of one-atom-thick sheets of linked carbon atoms, now has yet another potential application. Led by Prof. Jiaxing Huang at Northwestern University, scientists have used it to create a hair dye that's far less harmful than regular dyes.
