Your hair goes through cycles of shedding and regrowing but normally it's all mixed. The spot on your head grew back all at once and it's on the same cycle. If it's thick again months from now it's probably that

Man, you never fail to entertain.

I think the skate helmet played a vital role in recovery.. applying pressure to the surrounding area allowed blood flow to target the area where the helmet was broken which in your case is the bald spot.. Enhanced blood flow allowed more oxygen to flow through the area which was becoming callous.. Hence, the more thicker hair..

this is pretty interesting. hopefully scientists dive deeper into this for hair growth and hair graying, etc.

Theory: What if burning wasn't the root cause of the regrowth but increased blood flow (Caused by burning or you being upside down)? Which in turn caused a better removal of DHT in the scalp. I feel like I had thicker hair when I was doing Aerial Yoga, which is often in an upside down position in a hammock. I should start being upside down more often and test this theory myself, maybe you're interested in that yourself? 10:05 EDIT: since you stopped being upside down, maybe this is also the reason your spot became less populated with hair, again?

@@Suds1407 The reason for baldness is too much DHT in the skin. It’s in very distinct places because the skin sags with age and has less blood circulation in places the scalp is having most pressure on the skin, which is the back spot of the head and the sides in the front. So the skin will have trouble removing DHT. Having more blood flow in general does not necessarily mean more hair growth. In non bald areas there’s just sufficient removal of DHT. You can’t go less than nothing. My theory is not wether sufficient blood flow in the scalp will remove DHT, (this is already proven) but wether being upside down (or a burn) increases blood flow enough to reduce DHT concentration in the scalp.

Thank you for existing pal

Thank you for the video, I love doing headspins and I've also been worried a little bit about this, since I've been breakdancing for years. Luckily I have good hair. Lately, I also don't often get the possibility to do headspins, so my hair is still fine for now. The trick with the helmet that spreads the pressure to other spots was a genius move haha

but can you still do a head spin

What if it is from being upside down a lot in handstands and increasing bloodflow to the head?

Yes, microneedling works, I’ve been doing it for three months alongside other treatments and my hair is growing thicker and I have a few newer hairs.

Fascinating and cool! I've been gently resurfacing my skin every week using the Plasma Pen with the fractional tip and will take a break on the 10th session. As I've had a hair transplant on 28 June 2023 and a PRP on 26 July 2023, I noticed there was a lot of stimulation when using my handheld near infrared lamp. I noticed further stimulation with Plasma + fractional tip on the scalp in 3 passes, but much more thorough on the face, yet felt stimulation towards the bangs/fringe, even before going onto the scalp. Maybe this would be good therapy for those wishing to remove a callus for improved regrowth.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 03:03 😱 Spinning on your head for extended periods of time can cause hair loss in that area due to pressure and friction. 03:16 🏋️‍♀️ Allowing the bald spot to heal and avoiding further spinning can allow the hair to grow back in the affected area. 05:46 💡 Microtrauma to the skin, such as microneedling, can stimulate a healing response and potentially promote hair regrowth. 08:39 🌱 Combining microneedling with topical minoxidil (Rogaine) can significantly increase hair count compared to either treatment alone. 09:08 🧪 Preliminary results suggest that microneedling may induce hair regrowth, but further investigation is needed. 09:49 😮 The regrown hair in the bald spot appears to be thinner now compared to when it first grew back twice as thick. 10:32 🔍 The bald spot in the center of the head is not typical of male pattern baldness. 11:16 💥 The bald spot may have come back over time due to continued head spinning without proper protection. 11:31 💉 Micro needling the spot could potentially promote hair regrowth, but caution is advised and professional guidance is recommended.

The new "bald spot" you referred to could be caused by traction alepecia due to overuse of headphones. However more likely it's due to the natural process of your hair thinning out as you age. That was the first spot I noticed thinning when my hair started to thin out in my late thirties.

What an amazing story about your hair. I am glad you still learned to spin upside down and found a way to keep your hair!

I’m 42 and I did head spins back in the 90s, sometimes on concrete like a fool. Early 2000s I did it with a beanie quite often. I had to cut down on doing them because it would make my scalp hurt. I always noticed it affecting my hair and then in 2010 I was like “shit, I’m going bald up there” so I stopped completely. Now in 2023, it’s noticeably thinner up there. I may try shaving my head in the future to see if I can stimulate some growth. As of now, I’m using Bringha oil as my daily hair supplement. Makes my hair nice and soft. No more head spins is key. When you stop, clean your scalp with baking soda and use white iodine to kill off any bacteria from the nasty floor or beanie. There’s more I can share about this if anyone is interested, I can make a video on it.

I wonder how much just spending so much time upside down and stimulating your scalp led to your great hair. Do you have any siblings or close relatives to compare to? There are also hair growth theories about scalp stimulation, laxity, and blood flow. While you might be right about the spot on your head, looking at your overall hair it seems substantially thicker than most people your age. Spinning on your head upside down seems like the most intense way to get blood and stimulation to the scalp. Would be fascinating to learn more about your training routine, how you would take breaks in between practice, how many minutes per day were you upside down, how many months did you do this practice. Also would be interesting to see an analysis of break dancers to see if there is healthier than normal overall hair density. Finally if there was development of a product that sufficiently stimulates the scalp along with inversion therapy. The problem with microneedling is that it does not address laxity of the scalp or blood flow.

Also when you messed your elbow up did it cause what people call popey elbow??

microneedling is just tattooing without paint?

I got a hair transplant back in October, the best decision ever

More blood flow to the area?

having 2 caps one with layers like your helmet and other regular flat layer will make a difference but i had break from headspins like 6 months and you kinda always see the spot when you look for it , imo not a big price for a headspin even if i went bald , i didnt , i just grown my hair long on top and cover it , not really a big deal, its worse if you want to keep short hair on top then the spot is visible, theres also hair thinning as you age after 35 so its just way better to keep the hairstye like have now

The weird thing is that if you have male pattern hair loss (androgenic hair loss male or female) then the hair het thinner first to not grow back eventually. So HOW can a hair grow back if the hair follicle is kinda dead because of atrophy.

Start doing microneedling and minoxidil early/now to retain all the luscious hair you have. MPMD has loads of awesome videos on hair loss. There are other products but those two methods will yield the best results early.

I was realizing i had to not be upside down for longer than 1 minute. It was making my head hurt from pressure. I now have been using a massager on my head to try

Well inversion or upside down increase blood flow to scalp

Could be the increased blood flow from the mirco trauma from micro needleing or the burn. Also when you started the air flares you're still getting increased blood flow from the head down position but without the friction of the head on the ground so maybe just spending more time than most people in that position helped from the extra blood flow.

I just set my head on fire and will spend the next year sitting on my couch upside down to mimic Airflares. You sir saved me from going completely bold!

Do it! I highly recommend microneedling at a hair clinic. Avoid the roller, and opt for the punch. Proven track records.

This also reminds me of how being in a sauna produces heat-shock proteins.

A friend of mine (a woman) started noticing her hair thinning in her 40s. She got it to grow thicker again with daily deep massage of her scalp to release dead skin cells & oil that build up in the pores & hair follicles.

I'd start minoxidil and micro needling, finasteride as a last resort since it does have a lot more side effects. I use minoxidil and micro needle which stopped my hair loss and grew a small amount of my hairline back (which it's not exactly meant for). However I started taking finasteride since the effects weren't that substantial. Your hair loss looks very minor and probably is from head spinning. I know when I used to skate it looked like I shaved my legs from the constant friction rubbing the hairs off 😆. Better to be proactive then reactive though.

good that you starting taking finasteride. your hair line gains will probably be gone eventually when only treated with minoxidil because that hair is still prone to falling out. finasteride on the other hand will keep your hair gains hopefully for a long time or even forever. but remember that you have to take both min and fin for LIFE if you want to maintain because they work through different mechanisms so they can't be discontinued. Good thing is that you don't have to use min twice a day as advertised because it will stay in your system for a day, so once daily application should be fine and with fin or dut (dutasteride) you just have to pop a pill. just be consistent and stick to your routine and you hopefully enjoy your hair forever

Mpmd should cover this

Yes, microneedling, and also you can train scalp muscles. But using minoxidil is to my opinion a bad idea since you need to do it forever and it is just not pleasant process. Also it is a very interesting studies about finasteride, it seems to be completely safe and working from a very little dosage, like 0,2 mg daily.

It grow back and the minoxidil is kinda not good

I am not expert, but I’m pretty certain that this phenomenon has been explained as being a kind of illusion. Your hair is not so much thicker, it is only newer. Newer hair growth will appear darker and therefore denser. This is likely especially apparent when it is a spot amongst other hair that has been grown out from the root at the same rate, only would have been exposed to light, and a million other kinds of variables for ever so slightly longer at the root. Don’t quote me on that verbatim lol. I think a lot of us ladies especially learned this growing up through the 90s when it was somehow super cool to have much less natural eyebrows. Over plucked, waxed, shaved, threaded etc. the hair came back with a very noticeable bang.
