Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Origin: Asian (Korean)
- Age: adult from 18 to 60 years old
- Sex: female (minimum 70) and male
- Understanding of the language spoken in the research center: subjects able to read the documents they are presented with and to hold to what they are explained.
- Social cover: subjects having medical coverage
- Subjects whose state of health, at the moment of inclusion, (auto-questionnaires and medical examinations for the recruitment, selection and inclusion), are compatible with this type of study.
- Subjects can be pursuit and observation during the study period.
Subjects have a "hair loss grade" as below criteria:
- BASP grade: Basic type (M2 to M3, or C2 to C3, or U1 to U3) or Specific type (V1 to V3, or F1 to F3)
- For female: Ludwig grade: Ⅰ to Ⅱ
- For male: Norwood-Hamilton grade: III to IV

- Telogen hair ≥ 5%
- Subject with hair length ≥3cm in the vertex region and intending to keep this minimum length during the whole study period.
- Subject accepting the constraints of the phototrichogram technique, i.e. agreeing to have 1 shaved zone of 1.5cm2 on the scalp.
- Subject agreeing not to apply any topical treatment (other than the investigational product) or take any oral product or nutritional supplementation, or have any diet known to improve scalp and/or hair qualities or reduce hair loss during the whole study period.
- Subject agreeing to use a neutral shampoo (subject's own shampoo)
- Subject agrees to have a tattoo on the scalp on phototrichogram evaluation area.
- Subject presenting preferably with chestnut brown, dark or black hair (in order to avoid problems of contrast)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Subject deprived from liberty by a judiciary or administrative decision, sick subject in situation of emergency.
- Under age or off age subject protected by law, as well as those admitted to sanitary or social facilities, ever since the research can be performed in another manner.
- Subject who cannot be contacted in case of emergency.
- Females in pregnancy (positive urine pregnancy-tests performed at screening(visit 1 and visit 9)or nursing or without effective contraception method.
- Subject with any systemic disorder or skin disease (e.g. scalp disorders such as seborrheic dermatitis or scalp psoriasis) or presenting genetic or hormonal alopecia.
- Subject with a condition or receiving a medication which, in the opinion of the investigator, could compromise the safety of the subject or affect the outcome of the study.
- Subject using topic cosmetic treatment or oral nutritional supplement likely to interfere on hair loss parameters during the last 3 months prior to the start of the study (screening)
- Subject having a medical treatment likely to induce an alopecia or hypertrichosia, or having stopped it from than 3 months (including prostaglandins, rubefacients agents, all vasodilators, anti-androgens, all local hormonal treatment, etc...)
- Subject following a long period (>30 days) treatment of anti-inflammatory during the last 4 months before the start of the study (screening)
- Subject following a short period (<30 days) treatment of anti-inflammatory stopped or ongoing preceding the screening period.
- Subject having a immunosuppressive and/or corticoids treatment during the 4 weeks preceding the screening period
- Subject having dyed, bleached hair or with a permanent wave prior to study start.
- Subject who have been exposed to excessive or intensive UV light (natural or artificial) prior to the study.

Placebo Comparator
NGF-574H
placebo
NGF-574H is hair serum with 5% conditioned media of umbilical cord blood-derived stem cells containing various trophic factors that help alleviate hair loss. NGF-574H will be directed to use on hair and scalp by subject her/himself at home twice a day (in the morning and evening) for 24 weeks.
Hair serum without conditioned media of umbilical cord blood-derived stem cells will be directed to use on hair and scalp by subject her/himself at home twice a day (in the morning and evening) for 24 weeks.
