Niostem is a wearable (helmet) that uses "bioelectrical stimulation" to stop hair loss and regrow hair. As someone who has been researching men's hair loss for quite some time, the maker of this device makes some significant claims. I'd say the boldest yet. In the best case scenario, for...

Ever since we launched our hair/nail steroid analysis service couple of years ago, I have been seeing a steadily increasing number of studies on using hair/nail steroid analysis to predict future risk and also assess severity of (already existing) many chronic conditions. While most of the...

The hair seems to be a target AND source of prolactin, this is what the researchers found in this study. They also showed that increasing prolactin in the hair follicle basically kills the hair follicle by removing it from the blood supply (a.k.a catagen phase). In my opinion prolactin is a...

I came across this website and was thrilled to see that Paus continues to research thyroid hormones and hair, and aims at producing topical t3 and t4 products, if toxicity is ruled out: https://www.hairdao.xyz/ Study details: View...

I was hoping to start a hair growth discussion thread with anyone who has encountered sudden hair shed, hair thinning & hair receding. Either it being hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, genetics or stress Has anyone recovered from a bad hair loss year & how did you recover? Im...

On top of suppressing his natural testosterone production to nothing until age 51 by taking oral steroids, he suppressed his dht to about zero by taking a full dose of dutasteride. He added 125mg of testosterone at age 51 and used to take aromatase inhibitors when he was taking growth hormone...

Yet another study/article that reports a link between bioenergetics and hair color. Premature graying has been one of the fastest-growing "epidemics" over the last 20 years in developed countries. While a connection with stress has been suggested by numerous studies, mainstream medicine has...

Has anyone managed to significantly thicken their hair without the use of medication? I don't want to sound rude, but I'm not just looking for some advice from people who haven't gotten it yet, I just want to know if anyone has actually gotten it and how they did it. Massages, some daily habit...

After reading a bit about progesterone and its ability to remove Estrogen from the cells as well as help with hair/skin and make ones look younger overall, decided to try out and experiment (worst experiment I've ever done so far in my life and I highly regret it). Took 100mgs orally for 4 days...

Need help as I am a bit confused here and don't know what to do. I am a 35yo male, been with full head of hair my whole life and super healthy, never issues whatsoever. My thyroid is working properly, TSH is below 1 and all hormones in range with lowish E. About a month ago I decided to try...

I have been getting a lot of requests for posting a sample report on the forum, so here it is below. Please keep in mind that it a work in progress and it will likely change in the future, as we add more analytes/biomarkers for steroids and various steroid ratios that have been established as...

Origin Story: I started experiencing male pattern baldness around the same time I started having IBS-C type digestion issues ~10 years ago. At the time I was taking an SSRI and it worked well. However, when I started drinking coffee (usually on an empty stomach) while taking it, the SSRI lost...

Note (5/27/2022): This launch is Part I of a two-part service - steroid analysis in hair or nails. While we have confirmed our ability to analyze steroids in both types of samples, nail steroid analysis is still in its scientific infancy and there are very few publications on the topic. As such...

Another thread inspired by @JamesGatz and his posts about hair which I really enjoyed, and helped me introduce some changes to my hair routine recently. Also tagging @Josiah Baldwin , whose recent comments on wool were helpful as well. What's the healthiest method to dry hair after washing it...

I received my wooden brush yesterday, and it arrived looking like the picture below (taken with my phone) At first I thought it was hair, but it's actually supposed to be natural wood crystals? Could someone confirm if this is normal? This is how my new brush looks. You can appreciate the...

It is first worth noting the following: Humans are the only species that experience "Male Pattern Baldness" - there is not any other animal species (let alone mammalian species) that has the males of that species experience rampant hair loss: It makes absolutely no sense why males of a...

I was introduced to the Hair Grooming Syncope by users on another thread I made and also to the face that bothering the scalp (massaging, brushing, combing, etc) increases serotonin: its a phenomenon where people faint, have migraines, have seizures while having their hair groomed...
