The Science of Hair Loss: How to Prevent & Regrow Lost Hair

[@tuomashoffren534]

I am 32, and I started losing my hair at 16. I want to say a few things about it. Realizing I was balding as a teenager was hard. It felt so unfair, and I felt I was the only one. It fucked up my self-esteem for a long time. I tried treatments such as Minoxidil, but they didn't seem to do anything. I browsed the internet for different kind of solutions, but it was soon clear, that the best any treatment could provide was slowing down the process, usually not even stopping it. Over a period of several years I tried to cover my hear with bandanas or caps, refusing to shave my long blond hair. I was numbed by the fact, that while we can medicate and treat all kinds of illnesses, balding isn't curable. At the age of 20 finally shaved my head completely. After that I found such a relief, that it felt like almost getting my hair back: I didn't have to worry about it anymore. I coud be myself. I didn't have to have a near panic-attack, if I had to go somewhere where I couldn't wear a hat. Now, at the age of 32, I love how I look. I recently reached the point where I'd been balding for over half my life, and I realized, I haven't been thinking about it for ages. As a man, bald as an egg, and as a soon-to-be doctor, I would strongly suggest: don't go down the path of trying to flee balding. It won't work, and you'll be so disappointed in the end. If you feel balding affects your self-esteem, seek help, because that can be arranged. Embrace yourself, bald or not. It is a matter of you own mind, not body. May your future be as bright as the reflection from the top of my head on a sunnny day.

Wise words , nobody likes to go bald but we live in a society too focused on external appearance

[@twominutenudels]

this is a great comment. i'm 23 and have been experiencing hair loss in my early twenties and it's completely killing my confidence. i spent one year shaving my head completely, which helped a bit, but people love to comment on it and i'm constantly reminded that i "look like a 40 year old" and "need a trip to turkey". i've returned to growing the hair on my head, keeping it short and styled but the comments continue. i wish there was more space in society for younger balding men without it being the spectacle that people make it out to be.

Did you grow a big beard instead? I had a good friend who went bald in highschool and grew a giant beard instead; he looks great!

[@AnderGdeT]

I'm definitely balding since I was 24 (I'm 28) and I'm delaying the inevitable: shaving my head. It 100% looks better than trying to hide it. I tried Minoxidyl but I was kind of allergic to it, and I will not take any oral medication like finasteride for aesthetic reasons. Be bald, be bold

[@tuomashoffren534]

Guys, don't lose hope. As someone who has the most aggressive hair loss (my two brothers were Norwood 7 by 28-30), not to mention aggressive retrograde alopecia as well, all my cousins in both families are Norwood 6-7 by 30. I am 32 and have managed to keep 90% of my hair. Unfortunately I experienced bad side effects from finasteride and had to quit. However, using minoxidil + microneedling saved my hair. I strongly believe that DHT is related to blood circulation, which in turn due to low supply leads to hair loss. I used a derma roller + minoxidil and kept losing hair. Once I switched to a high-quality pen, within two months my shedding stopped and my hair started to get thicker by month 4 with a lot of new growth. I have followed this protocol for 5 years and haven't lost ground. It's possible-just be consistent. use a good Pen and do NOT skip sessions. If it worked for me, it should work for EVERYONE.

Minoxidil may not be enough. You might need to look at DHT blockers for women. I recommend topical DHT blockers like finasteride (NOT Oral), but see a doctor to recommend safe options. If you have PCOS, you likely have more DHT in your scalp.

I started walking every day and changed my diet but not for hair regrowth. I have no idea what did it but my hair has grown back so much thicker since.

[@sundiataq]

Acute nutrient deficiencies can also cause hair loss, independent of DHT levels and DHT sensitivity. Certain vitamins and minerals and other nutrients are vital for healthy hair, including iron, magnesium, zinc, calcium, vitamin B12, vitamin C, omega 3, adequate protein and more. Deficiencies in any of those can exacerbate hair loss, but none of them are likely to "cure" DHT related hair loss. There are also foods high in natural DHT blockers, like lycopene in tomatoes and papaya, or curcuminoids in turmeric, and certain fatty acids, such as oleic acid found in olive oil, etc, though none of those are anywhere near as potent as actual DHT blocking drugs. High blood sugar from a poorly balanced diet and/or lack of exercise may also affect hair health and certain negative lifestyle habits, like smoking may negatively affect hair health. Stopping smoking may reverse some of the damage. Walking (and exercise in general) may also increase cardiovascular health, which may increase blood flow and oxygen levels to the scalp, reducing the effect of DHT, but again unlikely to "cure" DHT related hair loss by itself. Sleep hygiene and stress management are also important. None of these are likely to be an effective cure-all, but all of these in combination, however, may have a noticeable effect on hair density and thickness, and in a best case scenario, may visibly reverse hair loss. Personally I noticed new hair growth after supplementing iron, zinc and B12 for unrelated health reasons, and noticed more new hair growth after switching to a much healthier and much better balanced whole food diet. I also exercise more and started doing relatively intense daily scalp massages to reduce scalp tension and increase blood flow, with some success. My receding hairline has been slowly reversing, and my hair is thicker and denser. Fingers crossed that the trend continues.

There are a few factors on why teeth decay. The obvious one is poor diet. When people drink too many fizzy drinks. It too much candy or high sugary products. Also not getting enough nutrient absorption in the body. Also smoking 🚬 decays teeth

[@SmugglersWench]

I have many teeth issues too, i'm sorry that you're having to deal with this painful & potentially embarrassing, probably confidence knocking also. I'm very into DNA for both health & genealogical research. I had a full genome sequence taken with Nebula Genomics, due to several other painful & debilitating incurable medical diagnoses. For all researched diseases & medical issues, it gives you a percentile (like growth charts for children), so basically they provide you with a likelihood of scientifically researched problems linked with specific genes. I was shocked to have found out that I am in the 100th percentile for Dental Carries [2019 study; Dmitry Shungin, et al.], where they identified 47 genetic variants that are contibuted to Dental Carries... This is, of course, not the only genetic study concerning oral health. For me, this 100th percentile makes a lot of sense, as i've not had much luck with my teeth all throughout my life, so shouldn't have been so surprised, but it was interesting.

From what I remember, body's cannabinoid receptors also play a role in the complex mechanism of hair loss & regrowth. But it's harder to get results from natural extracts as they have mixtures of chemicals that simultaneously agonize and antagonize CB1 and CB2. Also, I remember seeing an article where topical 3% peppermint oil was applied on the shaved backs of mice and it did wonders when visually compared with Minoxidil, over just 1 month period.

Started going bald at 19, used a toupee for several years because my mother was really concerned about looks and transferred that insecurity to me. Decided to completely shave my head at 27. It changed my life, it gave me back my self confidence not to mention people telling me I look better this way.

the side effect rates are under reported in the studies, its pretty obvious that removing 60 - 70 percent of DHT can have profound side effects, if you are to take finasteride get your blood work done and if you suspect side effects don't play around with reactions and cease usage immediately@@ballislife9924

[@nathan87]

Could have mentioned another rather surprising thing about the arrector pili muscle: its absence has been implicated as a causal factor in androgenic alopecia! In 2014 Torkamani et al demonstrated that in AGA the APM is gradually replaced by fat, and eventually detaches from the follicle. This detatchment is supposedly the line in the sand beyond which irreversible miniaturisation occurs. This is sort of where the story ends (for now), although in 2020 it was shown that the neurons innervating the APM go on to form "synapse-like connections" with the hair follicle stem cell supply. The implication being that every part of the hair follicle anatomy is crucial to proper hair growth.

I would be curious to know how stress contributes to hair loss as well 🤔

[@berlianakusti460]

My husband showed symptoms of alopecia areata, just within one year of our long distance marriage while struggling to pass exam (master degree) and job hunting. He’s found to have extreme vitamin D deficiency too. It’s an autoimmune disease, but the main trigger could be stress.

Im 17 now. But faced this condition since i was 15. Used minoxidil and finestrine solution, but it was temporary. Many people got hair loss after 20s (as i saw in many comments) but in still 17, and have wondered how I faced society..? I think I'm the only saddest youth in the whole world 😢

I've been on Finasteride since 2017, and on Minox since 2014. Without Fin it's a losing battle. Even with Fin I've been losing ground, but at a significantly slower pace. I haven't had sides, but I will try to get off of it or reduce its dose after I manage to get a transplant.

Thanks for the video. I'm curious about two things: 1. How trichotillomania affects hair growth and regrowth. Even as I was watching the video, I was pulling at my facial hair. I've been pulling different hair types for ~20 years, starting as an early teen. It started with eyelashes, knuckle hairs, and arm hairs. Now, it is almost entirely beard hairs, standout hairs (thick, dark, gray, long, isolated) on the body, from moles, on my ears, eyebrows, and on and in the nose. 2. The upper halves of my thighs (where the pant pockets would be) are bare, while the rest of my legs are hairy. I assume this is from a lifestyle influence where I almost always had my hands in my pockets for many years.

[@MoysésGurgel]

Best channel of its kind! Keep up the good work, my friend!

[@theanatomylab]

[@FrostyFX]

Ideal treatments: 1, finasteride to prevent further loss (mandatory if you value keeping hair),topical minoxidil along with microneedling to regrow some hair, 2% ketoconazole shampoo further blocks dht topically. Biggest thing, research! Some of these (mostly finasteride) can have some bad side effects most of which can be caught ahead of time with bloodwork. There are many other chemicals being researched that you can try but that’s up to you.

[@FrostyFX]

Also can combine minoxidil with a retinol (preferably tretinoin) to further enhance efficacy of the minoxidil. Works good for nonresponders

My ex (who is assigned male at birth) started losing their hair at 17. I never hear them talk about about it, but I don’t imagine it doing wonders for their self esteem. But me not wanting to be a monster, I’ve only made one in-context sarcasm joke about it, but overall just trying not to bring it up, because it really does kill their smile every time it’s mentioned. Also, for added context, I was friends with my ex before I dated them, and I still casually talk to them/am in a casual friendship with them. No guilt-trip friendship involved.

My dad died with a full head of thick hair; my oldest brother is essentially bald; I have most of my hair with some loss at the temples and some overall thinning; my younger brother has a full head of *very* thick hair (we are all over 60 years old). Go figure. Not counting genetics, I think the main way to keep your hair is a reasonable diet and _good blood flow_ to the the scalp and hair follicles. Do this with exercise, and keeping your scalp warm (wear a warm cap when you can), this will improve blood circulation. Most likely these super-expensive laser/LED caps (like the one in this video commercial) do only this: keep the scalp skin warm, improving blood flow. Save your money, buy a warm knit cap that covers your head and keeps it warm, like a ski cap. $10 - $20. And I bet it will work just as well. Also, hot showers. I take the hottest shower I can tolerate every day and wash my hair every day (the working of the shampoo through the hair massages the scalp and that also helps blood flow), and my hair was thick and luscious until l almost died from covid, at which time my hair began to fall out in clumps and I'd estimate that I lost about 1/3 of my hair overall while I was sick. I'd also estimate that in the 3 years since then, I've regrown about 1/2 of what I had lost, and my hair is drier and courser than it was before covid. My hairdresser told me that many of her clients told her of noticeable hair loss during covid; better than dying, I suppose...

Pick the right parents - sorry, too easy :) In my unscientific, and small sample size observation: 2 of 3 of us brothers have very full heads of hair post age 50, with one brother "folliclely challenged" :) ...despite 2 bald grandfathers, but a father with a full head of hair at age 85.

A warning regarding topical minoxidil: If you have a pet who is a hair licker, you cannot use the topical formula. It's especially poisonous for cats. I had to switch to the oral formulation because my cat likes to lick my hair AND sleep on my pillow. I didn't want to risk making him sick! Thankfully the oral formulation is slowly reversing my female pattern baldness.

[@loriannquinn6540]

I had hair loss that started after I stopped running every day. Parents were sick, so I didn’t have time to keep up running an hour a day, which I did for years. That, and a foot injury brought my running days to an end. Now on oral Minoxidil and am finally seeing my hair grow longer again. I assume the change in blood flow in my scalp caused the hair growth change.

good point about blaming your father for hair loss my uncle (dad's brother) doesnt have excessive baldness and his son now in his 40s hasnt experienced a notable decrease whereas i have. my dad has got ichtyosis thats definitely a contributing factor, i dont have it myself or its not expressed at least, wouldnt know, but his hair lost pigmentation early while his brothers' hasnt, mine losing pigmentation already while my cousin who's older isnt experiencing that. i didnt have any issues up until i turned 31 and decided its time to bulk up and started taking cheap whey protein.. that within 3 months 'helped' me shed a lot of hair which made me read up more on the topic turned out milk based protein does something forgot what exactly but when i started dht reducing supplements like pumpkin seed oil and saw palmetto hair magically stopped falling but it didnt start properly growing back up until i started vitamin supplementation too so a good diet definitely a key factor in hair growth. been also thinking if lactose intolerance is somehow connected to hair loss, i myself got a mild case of it and when i overdosed basically i started losing hair. milk consumption has been cited as food that worsens skin conditions like ichtyosis maybe there is something in there, searched for some papers regarding that but found nothing substantial.

I have two sons in their 30s. One (34) has a full head of great hair. My 31 year old son has been going bald for about 4 years. Their father is balding. MY father is bald, always has been since HE was in his late twenties. All that said, my son with a full head of hair has a very light beard, and not a hairy guy in general (much like my maternal grandfather). My balding son not only has a beard that would make the Duck Dynasty guys jealous, but his body is covered in hair! This I know because he is autistic and I am his caregiver (bathe, shampoo and SHAVE him!). So why is there a connection to heavy whiskers and body hair and male pattern baldness? Testosterone?? He's almost an anomaly in our family, since nobody on my side or his father's side had hairy bodies. He also has terrible scalp issues; ie eczema and dandruff. I've tried everything to clear his scalp up. Anyway, what's the connection of baldness and excess body hair and beard? Thank you, LOVE the channel so much!!!
