I don't think it's the prolactin, but the energetic drain on your system that impacts hair. My theory is this: hair is one of the first things to suffer when a person is chronically stressed because it's not a biological priority. Reproduction is a biological priority, and your body puts a lot of resources into making new sperm in case the opportunity to mate arises. People who are chronically stressed are more likely to masturbate, or do so more frequently, because they want to relieve the pain of chronic stress.
If it's not an energetic drain from creating new sperm but actually a loss of some vitamins or minerals, I haven't figured out what they are. I've tried zinc and other things; nothing reduces that post-ejaculation fatigue. There's also no difference in this when it comes to real sex versus masturbation; they both cause fatigue and a feeling of poor scalp circulation.

Thanks for your wonderful response!There's a phenomena that often occurs with no ejaculation. Those who refrain from ejaculating and fall for Nofap are either people with already low libido and/or have shame associated with it or those who have a high libido who think they are "addicted" to pornography(according to what they are told and what they tell themselves) and want to stop. Shame is involved in both cases.
The point is due to how strong the urges can get, many(and I mean the vast majority) who do nofap will end up unconsciously changing habits and eating differently(eating less/less often/less healthy/poor meal times) and overall make less healthy lifestyle choices in a way that will make them less healthy and therefore poorer metabolism. What ends up happening on successful months of nofap, it gets easier and easier largely due to this.
If you eat dramatically less, your urge for sex will go down, same goes for eating less healthy, or just wonky eating patterns, as well as other countless things that lower sex drive.
And imagine these kind of unconscious behaviors developing and compounding over many months in an attempt to make the streaks easier, you make yourself less healthy, less sex hormones, weaker metabolism and you have a recipe that can actually ruin your metabolism in the name of curing your "addiction".
I found this in myself, I did a stunt of 3/4 months no ejaculation at all. And over time I find myself eating very little/less healthy/losing appetite/overworking out and have worse sleeping patterns etc. And what was going on was I unconsciously lowered my sex drive, making me less healthy, therefore less urge to ejaculate. Once I stopped and I had moments of stopping and starting a few times after until it occured to me what was going on as I became self-aware. I also saw a reddit post saying the same thing I say now and it all clicked in my head what I did to myself. Let me say those 3-4 months once I stopped, made me realize how torturous it was for so little benefit.
I call this a warning to those who want to try it. If you try nofap and its easy, thats because your libido is too low, sign of poor hormone production and there needs to be something done about that.
For those who have high libido and try this, be wary that you are not automatically excluded from this phenomena. I thought I was, but realize it can be unconscious to the point where you are clueless to what you are doing to yourself. I do challenge any of you to consume aphrodisiacal foods and/or other methods that improve libido while not ejaculating. Anything that increase sex drives such as high zinc/mineral foods(oysters/red meat) will for sure improve your health and make it harder, which illustrates the point.
How so, if you were consuming adequate zinc in your diet, or with supplements? This is a strange topic, I have 6 decades on this planet, and have done the deed at least 5 days/week for 40 years, with a full head of hair, no discernible prolactin issues, and still love to watch porn without having to see a counselor........people have been wackin' off for centuries, don't fix something that isn't broke.Chris Masterjohn says ejaculation uses ~1mg of zinc, and dietary absorption of zinc is ~30%. So, in theory, you’d need roughly 3mg of zinc to cover the loss of each ejaculation. From this, you can see how years of ejaculating on a daily basis could cause issues—if what Masterjohn said is correct.

Hmm, that maybe true for you and others on nofap. I however have increased motivation and drive to improve my health while doing nofap concurrently. Is my sex drive lower than I'd like and that makes it kind of easy to do nofap? Absolutely, but my goal is to increase my libido, not lower it. I'd actually welcome a few moments with the urge being so hard to resist that I can't, but this rarely happens, and that actually annoys me, even if it does make "keeping the streak" easy. I absolutely realize my metabolism is FUBAR and that's why I post here every day and try new things to try to get better, and I haven't yet but I plan to once I get to the bottom of my problems. I also absolutely get worse every time I relapse (Temperatures and pulse drop, mood tanks, etc.), so it's not in my head or anything like that. Most foods are not aphrodisiacal for me, because my metabolism is broken. Red meat has been helpful to me (as your one example) has been helpful to me but not the end all be all. Again though I agree that the goal should be to increase libido and make it harder to do nofap, that's how you know you're doing it right. FWIW, at one point in my life, I was doing nofap and libido was so high that I had nocturnal emissions upwards of 2-3x a week. I miss those days. Lol. (This was before my metabolism broke as a result of a breakup with the ex, etc...)
I don't think zinc is the missing link. I supplemented zinc for a while and did not see an improved libido. I now eat red meat virtually every day and see only marginal improvements in libido. Honestly I think Iron is actually the missing link. Virtually all Peater's savagely cut their Iron because of what RP wrote about it, and forget that Iron is an essential mineral just like Zinc, Copper, Manganese...

But why is only affected the hair of the scalp and not the beard. The energetic drain on your system that impacts hair, well, but why not all the hair the same? not the body hair or beard and if the head? There must be something else ...I don't think it's the prolactin, but the energetic drain on your system that impacts hair. My theory is this: hair is one of the first things to suffer when a person is chronically stressed because it's not a biological priority.
