Fantastic work and analysis by yourself - thoroughly enjoyed your video. I found that during 2020 lockdown i went on long walks in that hot summer we had in the uk. I would walk for 2 hours a day. After 3 months my hair was much thicker and had a new glorious texture and feel. Im convinced the sun and increased scalp blood flow from walking helped. My lymphatic system also had a boost from the walk and this may also play a part.

It's worth the time, money and effort. 2. GFC/PRP 3. MINOXYDIL 5% once a day (topical) 4. Made scalp butter with- Rosemary oil, Tea tree oil, Peppermint Oil with castor oil, olive oil and coconut oil as carrier. 5. Massage the scalp every day 6.

I’ve come to find that pinching your skin together on your head and stamping your derma roller instead of rolling it increases results by long shot.

Thank you so much for your video. After recovering from covid, I noticed hair was thinning. I switched my shampoo and oil to litlllextra cooconioon, and it significantly helped lessen my hair fall and promote hair growth. Additionally, I started using a scalp massager, as it cleans the scalp thoroughly while shampooing.

This work even better as support protocol on top of a more aggressive therapy (minoxidi + fin/duta +prp + ...)

One of the major causes of hair loss is scalp hardening due to a build up of calcium deposits. There is a high correlation between scalp flexibility and balding. Terry crews is famous for being bald.

Get vitamin K2. No more calcium buildup.

dermapen works so much better. It's difficult to apply the pressure needed on a roller to penetrate deep enough, and the deeper you go the more the very real possibility of scarring since the "needle" (often not actually a needle) goes in and out at weird angles. Pen you can pre-set to a given length and I find it much easier to psych myself up to penetrate deeper to stimulate the bulb. I noticed a difference very soon after adding the pen. I still use a roller daily for a light topical minoxidil absorption helper, but the pen is where its at.

I am glad you are open to the idea of using low dose oral finasteride. You are right that it is almost as effective while mitigating the risks of side effects. I made a video about it called "what is the optimal dose of finasteride." Saw palmetto is a 5ar inhibitor but using it would be like trying to fight a wildfire with a water dropper. Mechanistically the theory is sound but in terms of outcome it hasn't been proven effective. I was in the same boat as you for a while where I was terrified of finasteride and I kept trying these alternative treatments. None of them worked for me and it was only when I went on the FDA approved treatments that I noticed any benefits. Whatever you choose I hope it works and in case it doesn't I hope you can be comfortable in your identity.

I fill a small spray bottle in a ratio with peppermint oil, lavender oil, rosemary oil, castor oil, argan oil, pumpkin seed oil, jojoba oil, all mixed into coconut oil which is used as a carrier oil. I take one tablet of saw palmetto daily with my breakfast. I dermaroll with a 0.5 dermaroller once per week. I wash my hair alternating with nioxin and caffeine shampoos twice per week.

Great work! Just an observation, there's a theory that fibrosis i.e scar tissue builds within the scalp tissue making it difficult for new hair to grow as this tissue wedges between the follicles and blood vessels so the follicles can't get any blood to grow again. Just by looking at your scalp there looks to be a dome shape which suggests fibrosis. People with no hair loss tend to have flat head profiles. Robert English has done a lot of work around this and scalp massages with wooden tools to aggressively break down fibrosis have had good results. When I say aggressive I mean the wooden tools look like fat hair combes and a lot of pressure is applied to break down the tissue. Could be something worth trying. Just because all the techniques you're trying are great but they look more like they are helping existing hair. Reducing DHT and encouraging hair flow works mainly for existing hairs. Study's have shown that by just stopping DHT doesn't actually simply make new dormant follicles grow hair again in most men. It requires something to kick start that process and it makes sense that aggressive massages with wooden tools can break down fibrosis to try and make that happen.

Someone said it was comedogenic, which means it can block pores, so I switched to grapeseed oil, not heard anything about it impeding hair growth (unless blocking pores causes that)

Are you continuing these efforts or not? Give us an update

you should add rosemary to peppermint oil

will peppermint and dermarolling work on beard

I think dermarolling should be okay with a smaller needle because dermarolling for faces is a beauty treatment. I'd be hesitant about peppermint because you wouldn't want to accidentally ingest it or get in near your eyes as it's quite intense (even diluted)

what's with no masturbation? does it cause hair to fall?

I should write down my replies as people have asked this before. There was a link between frequency of masturbation and DHT levels, but it's a correlation rather than causation. A few people have also talked about "semen retention" which you can look up, it's avoiding masturbation or sex for at least 2 weeks at a time and is supposed to restore your "jing" if I remember correctly

Thanks for all the research! I would suggest not cutting your hair. The longer your hair the longer it tells your other hairs to grow. Cutting hair will signal to other hairs to stay short or in rest phase and not grow past the longest hair. Just grow your hair out and never cut it while still continuing all possible documented methods.

After dermarolling I applied 4 drops of pure peppermint oil on my scalp. Was the weirdest burning cold sensation of like inhaling the strongest mint ever, but on my scalp. It has been 15 minutes now and I still have an ice bath in my head. :Dd

I now have a mixture of couple percent rosemary and peppermint oil in coconut oil. Only downside is coconut carrier oil has to be heated up for a while to be a liquid. I might change to grapeseed in my next batch.

Interesting, I've had someone else say that I should reduce it. At one point I was up to 12 drops in 1 tsp oil but I've dropped down to 6-8 drops now. Might work out exactly how many drops of oil I'm adding and try to get the concentration as close to the research as possible

@@9to5strength I can understand that but how long will you try those alternative solutions? Only asking because I tried almost everything for years now while others received instant results from hair transplant.

uh ur dilution of essential oil (peppermint n rosemary) is very bad idea, as it is very potent, too strong may cause skin irration n even burn ur skin. people suggest 3% essential oil concentration, so 1 drop of rosemary oil need 33 drops of carrier oil (coconut oil etc..)

My guy.....why on earth wouldn't you get a hair transplant? They are low cost and 100% effective. They literally implant each follicle as needed. It's permanent and flawless.

Would you please listen to my sincere advice and stop all that nonsense and stop wasting more time as you did in your trial of scalp massage......just do one thing bring some finasteride tablets and dissolve them in minoxidil and use that topical solution on daily basis along with one weekly session of micro needling...... that's absolutely the ultimate solution for androgenic alopecia.....you better start immediately.

Ate you serious ??? 80% of your hair follicles are long dead and you are having aggressive male pattern boldness . How the hell do you expect to improve with natural remedies or even chemical substances . At this point even hair transplant isnt possible. Just get over it and embrace yourself as you are or get a hair system .

Just get some minox, keep with the MN, Saw Palmetto, and Nizoral and stop the rest. If it's still not working, crush Finasteride into the minox. You can thank us later. Pretty sure that greasy mess, and turning upside down are pseudo-scientific wastes of time.
