Your willingness to be open and honest is legendary. Mad respect bro.

Fully agree with taking the opportunity to experiment. In the fight with you. 💪 Love your outlook and looking forward to seeing how it all goes.

very detailed and clear. thank you for sharing. you have put so much research into this and i appreciate that.

I am so glad I came across your channel, thank you for your efforts in videos!!!

I'm on your side. I like hair, does make you look better. I've tried numerous treatments, seems to have stopped falling out, no new regrowth. I'll keep trying. Thanks for the information.

Wow what an amazing video I just found out just by mistake. Keep up the good experimental work. I can't wait for the results of this video. Will follow

It's a trivial pursuit

The derma roller scoops needle holes like an icecream scoop, so use a derma pen or something that pierces straight down instead.

Good video overall well explained and straight to the point. I would say however that a dermapen is much superior to a dermaroller, I understand it comes across as quite expensive however the quality has nothing to do with a roller, it is hard if not impossible to puncture your scalp consistently with a roller, if you use 0.5mm you are lucky if you get 0.2 or 0.3mm of perforation depth with research pointing out the sweet spot being around 0.6-1.5mm (I use 1mm personally), on top of that they can be a bit dangerous as they wear out and damage your skin/scalp.

@9to5strength

Yeh I recently realised they wear out, I was drawing a lot more blood and had to replace my 1mm after 10-12 uses. I will check out dermapen, cheers

This is my successful routine: 1- Dermaroller once a week at first and every ten days after some weeks of use (avoiding collagen fibrosis round the follicles and creating growth factors). 2- Electric head massage device for relaxing front-occipital and parietal muscles (avoiding aponeurotic galea tension). 3- Applying Aloe Vera (vehicle) mixed with lemon juice and some drops of Piperita mint oil for inactivating enzyme 5-alpha reductase (acid surrounding is not beared). I had a bit of shedding effect at first, but two months later it looks much better and I expect the best results on December. Blessings

Hi any updates?

What you’re doing is amazing 🙏🏼 I hope you find the best solution out there and help us all

So awesome to see that you are attempting different methods for hair regrowth brotha, I'm only 35 and have been working on this myself for 4 years now by attempting a number of methods. My balding started about 6 years ago I wanna say and I'm not ready to give up. My baldness is a little worse than yours I'd say but not too far off. So far I have tried the supplement by hairtamin, finasteride, minoxodil, rogaine, a hairmax laser comb, shampoo with essential oils, caffeine shampoo. Currently, I'm attempting an essential oil blend of rosemary, lavender, ylang ylang, and peppermint (5 drops of each in a 30ml bottle) with jajoba oil which I've been doing for almost 6 months now and I'm taking magnesium daily which I started about 2 months ago. I attempted other methods for roughly 4-6 months and did the laser comb for about 9 months. No results yet from my current method but did notice some regrowth with the laser comb on my vertex and no results noticed at all from the other methods. Let's keep on pushing and see if we can figure this out!

@9to5strength

Hey, interesting with the laser comb. Laser therapy wasn't suggested by anyone in the comments but perhaps it's relatively new. I got approached by iRestore who wanted to send me a low level light therapy helmet to try out for hair growth and that was the first I'd heard of it. Do you get much tingling from the oil blend? I've been bumping my peppermint oil and I'm up to 16 drops because the recommended concentration felt too low

Its fantastic that you are so determined and committed to your hair growth 💪😁 I'm sure you will see wonderful results surely. But please also know that you are loved just as you are today, regardless of the results ❤❤❤ Personally for many years I've been trying to improve my acne condition. Now I dont have breakouts anymore by tweaking my diet & some other lifestyle choices 😊 Yay!!! But once all the acne cleared, I realised that I have scars. It bothers me as it is not the result I envisioned after all that hardwork but I try to be kind to myself.

i wash my hair with half a litre of ro water after bathing to remove the hard water from scalp, also i avoid drinking water with added minerals as they some how increase baldness, also i avoid very chilly foods as they increases hair fall.

More Plates More Dates is the best tuber for advice and knowledge on this. He has many videos on many options. SupLiterate is my other fave. I've dabbled in different options (currently have a Derminator2 for sale :D). I've started the head massage 20 mins twice a day protocol a few months ago. I also take vit e complex after watching a SupLiterate video. I've experimented with micro-needling, lasers and oils. Not drugs like minoxidil though. Topical dutasteride is meant to have no side effects like finasteride.

Hey! Looking forward to seeing the update video on this if any of this works!! It's a shame you didn't try minoxidil, from what I have read side effects are quite rare and limited (you can always stop if it does cause any skin irritation etc), and it doesn't need to be expensive, they say you need to use it twice a day, but I read a lot of people saying they only use it once a day as the half life of the active compound is 20 - 22 hours, it can be low as $/£15 a month for a bottle (which will last 2 months if using just once a day), and I'm sure that's cheaper than all the other supplements / oils you mentioned in this video? But fingers crossed you're getting good results also! I think for the derma roller if you want to see regrowth you need to go longer than 0.5, at least 1.0 I think? Maybe you can do that just on the temples to see if you get some regrowth.

Hey, cheers, I switched to a 1mm recently, updates can be seen on the Community tab on my channel

I think it may be useful, but only after suppressing DHT

If you have TMD from premolar extraction and retraction. That could be a reason for your hair loss.

Are u going to follow the cristopher walker approach?

All videos information combined in one .

Was wondering, haven’t you tried applying minoxidil?

How does the combination of cost and side effects of minoxidil rule it out? You can get a 3 month supply of minoxidil for 15 pounds, and you don't even have to use it twice per day. If you use it only once, it is still quite effective and it costs 2.5 pounds per month. Also when it comes to side effects, it seems to have a very safe profile. For me a sustainable protocol would be: minoxidil once per day, dermaroller 1mm once per week, 2% ketoconazole shampoo once every 2-3 days, with massaging while showering, and laser hat (5 mins daily while pooping :)). For those who want to go the extra mile, maybe topical finasteride of .01% (mixed with minoxidil) or 0.2 mg oral can be reasonable. I also think hair transplant is quite cost effective.

@9to5strength

Жыл бұрын

It was the idea that it only works as long as you're paying for it, so you're tying yourself in to a lifetime contract essentially. I just ordered finasteride yesterday and will be taking 0.25mg daily so I'm coming round to the idea of paying a small fee every few months. Interesting with the frequencies you mention, I've been using Nizoral once a week and 1mm dermaroller every 2 weeks. The laser hat was offered to me in exchange for a video about it but by the time I saw the email the offer had passed.

Interesting

Can somewhat agree with the number one results. I have been adding a bit of peppermint oil to both relive scalp tension and eventual hairloss for a few months now by mixing it in with my conditioner, and once a month or so give it a mixture of locally made olive oil and peppermint oil for a full on massage. I'm noticing a lot less hairfall and significantly less scalp pain/irritation, call it placebo if you will but it works for me. Only advice is don't buy cheap shit from India as that's diluted as all hell.

Hi, First of all, kudos to your effort and thanks for the video. The scalp massage u did was suppose to be 40 minutes a day (20 morning and 20 evening) so that will be around 280 mins per week. You only did 60 mins in total .. That won't give you any result, sir .. You are waiting and giving so many weeks for the treatment; you should have gone all out and given your best, isn't it??? I hope you follow actual massage protocol and continue with new underlined experiments to see where you land up because in the end you would also really like to see some results, yea. Take care ...

Only wash your scalp with distilled water.
