Hair Regrowth faq Aimed at the best of what works and only what works. Hair Growth and Regrowth is big business, thus, getting accurate information is not simple. Even claims backed by statistics may be totally wrong. For example "80% of accidents happen within 5 miles of home" could be claimed to show people drive worse near home, or could be claimed to show people drive more often near home! The answers below are designed with the idea that "The truth that matters, not the facts." What topical agents work? Topical agents that may regrow hair include: Minoxidol, Rogaine, Cayanne pepper, and Copper Peptides. Thymuskin may work for immune disorders also. Cayanne mixed in olive oil or jojoba oil or another thin oil is effective at increasing hair growth when applied topically. Like most of these topical methods, when you stop applying it every day, the hair generally falls back out. Minoxidol, Rogaine and Cayanne pepper have all shown effectiveness in visible hair growth. About 25% of men experience significant increase in hair density with Minoxidol. Topical agents must be applied daily and most solutions have alcohol which has adverse health effects. Additionally, it takes about three months to notice an increase in hair and about the same to notice that hair going away when treatment is stopped. All the listed topical agents must be twice every day forever or hair loss will revert to non-topical conditions. These agents are often suggested for men in their 20's with only slight hair loss. This may be because older men can afford more expensive treatments, and the cost of Rogaine is about $30/month and Cayanne pepper in an oil base even less. Thymuskin appears to be effective for immune disorder related cases with nearly total baldness. For my gradual patterned recession, it did not have a significant effect. Copper peptides such as allantoin from Comfrey Root have been shown to improve strand thickness and speed growth when applied topically or subdermally (under the skin). Long term effects are not known to this author currently. These compounds actually stimulate cell growth from the undifferentiated human cells. Stimulating Hair Growth using GLH-Cu Complexes or Glycine-Histidine-Lysine complexed with a metal are having excellent lab results. While there are patents issued for the use of Comfrey for hair regrowth, you can buy oil infused with comfrey, comfrey leaves or roots, or even grow your own comfrey from root cuttings for poultices. Growing is easy from roots, just place the root section horizontally about 2-3 inches deep and water when dry for a week to get growth. Avacor works similarly to DHT blockers plus Minoxidol being mostly common herbs like Ginkgo biloba, bilberry, horsetail and others like chanomelis, lobellae, notoptcryll, tarakaci adenophorae, maidenhair tree, vaccinium myrtillus, equisetum and 2, 4-diamino-6-piperidino-pyrimidine-3-oxide (That long bold listing is the chemical name for minoxidil). There are many products offering copper peptides the best appear to be those with Comfrey, Alointin, or GLH-Cu. Other products like Tricomin and Folligen may not have the optimal combination of amino acids. For completeness, here is a chart of topical agents and estimated yearly cost: Cayanne in oil $35 ThymuSkin $135 Crinagen $212 Rogaine $300 Hair Genesis $369 Nu-Hair $400 Revivogen $400 Avacor $530 Hair Advantage $530 Propecia $600 Nioxin $645 Folligen $720 Shen-Min $830 Tricomin $1000 Viviscal $1100 This is just a cost comparison, effectiveness is generally not related to the cost and some of these may not be effective. See above for details of topical treatments known to work.

How well do vitamins help regrow hair?

What diet changes can help hair regrowth?

• Cider Vinegar:
  Metabolism and helpful bacteria can be promoted by vinegar. Many case histories show that a few teaspoonfuls of cider vinegar in water a few times a day for several months may stop hair loss and the remaining hair has grown healthier and thicker. One reason for thinning hair is a deficiency of minerals salts, so it is easy to understand why mineral-rich cider vinegar and Celtic Sea Salt can help.
• Celtic Sea Salt:
  While regular salt in unhealthy, Celtic Sea Salt is beneficial and supplies many trace elements and minerals needed by humans. For mineral defficiency caused hair loss, sea salt may assist in regaining hair. One fourth teaspoon Sea Salt per gallon of water is most healthy.
• Inositol:
  Inositol in conjunction with other sources of B vitamins may stop hair loss based on some studies. Some case's had hair regrowth noticeable in as little as one month.
• Biotin:
  Biotin or vitamin H, is a proven hair growth vitamin and a preventative to excessive hair loss.
• Flax oil with Cottage Cheese and Cayanne
Fatty acids are a valuable growth factor in numerous processes in the body including the hair. Mixing one part Flax seed oil with four parts Cottage cheese or yogurt and cayanne pepper to taste will allow the intestine to absorb the healthy fatty acids from the flax. Cayanne has a cleansing effect on the intestines. Flax oil alone may just go through.
• Zinc:
  Zinc deficiency in humans may cause baldness and scalp problems. Improvement is seen when zinc levels were returned to normal levels.
• Protein/Gelatin:
  Protein is a critical for hair and egg white with lecithin may help hair regrowth particularly for female alopecia.
  
  Consumption of 14g of gelatine daily, found an increased in the thickness of individual hair strands by as much as 45 per cent in only two months.
• Choline:
  Choline may significantly improve hair growth. Lecithin is a very good source of choline, and also supplies inositol.
• Vitamins:
  Vitamins can improve hair growth when there is a defficiency. Defficiencies may be caused by an excess in some food or mineral in diet, exposure to chemicals or allergies. The body will pull nutrients from one place to fix problems in another -- vis osteoporosis -- and if this is the case vitamins are highly suggested.
  
  Minerals as found in Celtic Sea Salt are also potentially helpful. Celtic Sea Salt is suggested as a replacement for the less healthy regular NaCl salt that is linked to many other health problems. Normally, a fourth teaspoon per gallon of Sea Salt is most healthy for people and animals.

What internal agents and pills work?

• HGH - Human Growth Hormone
  Sublingual, oral and topical use is less effective than injections but any increase in HGH including that from hard exercise is associated with rejeuvenation of the entire body and promotes hair regrowth.
• DHEA
  One of the edible substances that may increase HGH by being a precursor. Others include sunflower seeds. DHT blockers should be used because DHEA may increase DHT and estrogen levels and DHEA is more significantly of use for people over 30 years of age.
• Saw Palmetto
  Good natural option, taken twice daily with meals is effective at reducing DHT.
• Propecia
  Effective at reducing DHT, has side effects and should not be used by men in contact with pregnancy.
• Proscar
