Basics

​

Lifestyle obviously has an effect on your hair, I won't bore you with what human beings should already know by default, the basics include:

• Protein intake
• Iron & zinc
• Biotin
• Omega 3 fatty acids
• Vitamin D
• Hydration: Dehydration reduces plasma volume which in turn compromises nutrient delivery to the scalp.
• Stress Management
• Smoking: Smoking induces oxidative stress and vasoconstriction.
• Alcohol: Alcohol depletes zinc and B vitamins.

Make sure these are in check before proceeding (smoking is kind of cope and I don't see it having that bad of an effect on your hair, but my username is literally @smoker so don't take my word for it)

Spoiler: Pharmaceutical & Dermatological

Pharmaceutical & Dermatological

​

Before surgery, the best place to start would be the topical and/or oral routes and see if this works for you. Other than Rosemary Oil, any other "natural" way of regrowing hair is pretty much cope and you shouldn't fall victim to buying any of it.

Dermatological

• Minoxidil: reduces scalp inflammation and DHT locally
• Caffeine infused topical (supposedly counteracts DHT mediated miniaturisation via phosphodiesterase inhibition)
• Rosemary Oil
• Topical Finasteride

Pharmaceutical

• Finasteride: 5‑α‑reductase type II inhibitor. It reduces conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (the primary hormonal driver of androgenic alopecia)
• Dutasteride: 5‑α‑reductase type I and type II inhibitor, this results in deeper dihydrotestosterone suppression
• Spironolactone: useful for female pattern hair loss, can be used in men but it may cause hormonal changes and enlarged breast tissue
• Oral Minoxidil

Hairline Re-Design

Hair Tattoo
(arguably the best option if you have good bone structure and suit a buzz)

Spoiler: Hormonal

Hormonal​

There a different hormonal reasonings to losing hair, most methods only fix androgenic alopecia. Below are a list of the hormonal hair loss routes and how to go about dealing with this,. Bare in mind if you decide go ahead with the methods above: if your hair loss isn't due to androgenic alopecia you will still lose hair.

Types:

• Androgenic Alopecia
• Telogen Effluvium
• Alopecia Areata

Telogen Effluvium
Cause: Recent illness, major surgery, severe weight loss or endocrine shifts.
Approach: Treat underlying cause, ensure adequate protein, iron, and vitamin D, and give the hair cycle 6–9 months to normalize.

Alopecia Areata
Cause: Immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles.
Approach: Corticosteroid intralesional injections, topical sensitizers, or JAK inhibitors.

Androgenic Alopecia
This entire thread covers that.

Good post, mirin formatting.
What do you think about PP405? Supposedly is the cure for hairloss in new data.

I've seen that as of recent, I've got quite a fair bit of vouch behind it, I will say: I only really rely on clinical trials for research, whereas personally I go day by day using anecdotal experience as I believe it mogs, I like to be my own test dummy.

But as of now I have I'd say 90% belief in it being a very very good finding in helping hair loss, specifically androgenic alopecia or even alopecia as a whole. I haven't used it myself though as using the protocols in this thread has maintained my hair quite well.

I'm looking forward to the clinical trials on it soon, and may make an info thread if I do research it one day.

Ah intresting looking forward to your thread.
As for androgenic alopecia wouldn't RU or topilatumide be a better fit?
And im hoping it is good for male baldness in general as im prone

Yeah you posted this at almost 3 am for me so no wonder I didn’t see it

yeh 100%, as synapse stated briefly above its always the better option, RU and dutasteride ESPECIALLY if you're already pinning will stop you from losing your hair and assure you never go bald. I don't pin so this shit works for natty's like me but I understand for sted heads this shit is kind of mediocre and a lot of jargon.
