Personally, I wouldn't recommend applying urea to your scalp. My hair is/was at its worst state ever, and this was the culmination of applying urea to my scalp for over a year (among many other factors.) It's my understanding that urea denatures collagen. My hair is improving since I ditched urea and started applying vitamin C to my scalp, which is an action that I took in an attempt to reverse the perceived damage done to my face/scalp skin wrought by urea. Vitamin C is, of course, considered supportive of collagen formation; as are red light and needling, which are common hair loss treatments.
In keeping with the topic of the thread, I am also currently applying dextrose to my scalp on a somewhat regular basis. I will let you all know if anything significant seems to happen.

@Gaston i do something very similar and apply lysine to the scalp, another builder of collagen

@Gaston Oh wow good to know. Thanks for sharing!
I've stopped urea use on my scalp posthaste. In light of what you mention, I'm thinking of using urea on some skin growth spots on my body (particularly skin bumps under my eyes I got when I did carnivore and got deadly allergies). Do you have thoughts on that from your research?
Would you mind sharing what improvements you've noticed from increasing pro-collagenous supps to the scalp?
Also, I've been thinking of finding a good ascorbic acid/vit c powder for a few years now, and this has convinced me to pull the trigger -- do you have a source you'd suggest?
Many thanks for your contributions, Gaston!

@wester130 have you noticed any symptoms of improvement?
-
@LetTheRedeemed I don't want to influence you too much because I'm honestly not very knowledgeable. You can continue using urea; just make sure to report back to us if it seems to harm your hair density.
I'm getting slight regrowth on my temples, but that could be due to a dozen different factors.
I use C-Salts Buffered vitamin C. I can't recommend it for any particular reason, it's just what I've always used.

@Gaston gotcha. Thanks for sharing.

@Hando-Jin Do you have a quote?
