Reversal of hair loss in Mice with “sugar gel”
-
Just a quick update: i stoped applying because it was making my hair very dry. I suspect it was the alcohol.
-
@Mauritio I like how solban (I make my own) makes my hair feel, very nice
-
@Mauritio interesting. Thoughts on diluting with more water?
-
@LetTheRedeemed Well that would take me waiting until all the damaged hair has grown out which would take about 1 year. After which I'm not going to damage my hair for another year by trying out a less strong version.
-
has anyone tried tropical pycnogenol ?
it can work like minoxidil in its effect for increasing bloodflow and opening up blood vessels
-
@Mauritio interesting… i personally haven't seen damage.
-
@LetTheRedeemed good for you . Then keep going ! Don't want to discourage anyone. I think I just have sensitive hair.
-
@Mauritio if you dont mind my asking, what does the damage look like?
-
results from men who used rosemary oil
-
@wester130 is there a known mechanism? I've often been cautious of herbalistic remedies that work, as they may be working on the NO pathway...

Boosts blood circulation, anti-inflammatory, blocks DHT in the scalp, anti-fungal, anti-microbial, probably effective against parasites like demodex mites.

Carnosic Acid: This compound has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It improves scalp health by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, which can contribute to hair loss. It may also stimulate blood circulation to the scalp, enhancing nutrient delivery to hair follicles, promoting growth.
Ursolic Acid: This compound is believed to inhibit 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). -
for people wanting a herbal, ethanol based solution, this is the best I could discover
menthol crystals.
camphor crystals
thymol crystals
caffeine
niacinamidemix into vodka
it avoids the greasiness of essential oils

@LetTheRedeemed I don’t think NO pathway is necessarily always bad. If you’re underproducing NO, you might actually benefit from it.
