Crystal Meth has hair regrowth properties?

[toocoolforhair]

I watched a documentary on Crystal Meth addicts yesterday (none of them were bald) and then I saw a before and after picture of this balding man.

He is easily a thinning Norwood 3 and then after a year of Crystal Meth addiction he becomes a thick-haired Norwood 1. Obviously I'm not suggesting anyone starts taking Crystal Meth, but maybe there's something in it that can be safely isolated for hair loss treatment.

 

[billythekid]

it's the cure, that's why it's illegal

 

[monitoradiation]

Hahah, I think that's just the way he didnt cut his hair for a year. IF there's anything there that we can isolate from meth, then it should be interesting.

Note the guy in the bottom right corner and his temples... Seems to still be losing it.

Wtf he looks the same after, only with more hair. Someone should put this on the proven treatments section.

Didn't help this guy;

I dunno what's going on with that first dude though, could be wearing a wig? There is no way the hair he had left in the middle has produced that much frontal coverage.

Seemed to give this girl a fatter nose. :shock:

TBH I would'nt be too suprised if these pics were photoshopped for campaign effect.

ps what does it do to their skin? Looks like some of these guys when hunting with Cheney! :woot:

for the record : meth DOES grow hair faster... BUT
it does boost your hormon-balans also... flushes your vitamines and minerals...

CONCLUSION :

for Androgenetic Alopecia/hairloss its NOT the right produkt to use...
your hair will grow faster , but also fall out faster , dht will be boosted as well...

meth acts the same way like minoxidil in a way , wider blood-vessels...
i stick to nanominox, heavy stuff with the minoxidil-sulfate in it

you can boost hairgrowth also if you go jogging a long time, you can feel so the blood pumping in your head... when you do this 2- 3 hours before bedtime it could give you a better sleep also

 

[BodyDysmorphic]

off the hairloss topic but still relevant

what are all those "marks" on those peoples faces?
what's up with that?

they are practically all gone when those people are free from meth

are they just pimples/blemishes?

or are they like open wounds?

 

[Thinneritgoes!]

These pics have been around forever.

Am I the only one who always assumed these were photoshopped? I mean look at them, most of them look so fake

 

[mykal_P]

No hair was improved in any of those pics, I think your on crack. That first guy merely grew his hair out to disheveled proportions.Buzz cut it again and it will look the same. End of the hair meth revolution..........

If every substance mentioned so far from botox, lasers, meth, saw palmetto, beta sisterol, flax seeds, garlic, and we still have nothing that can stop yet alone regrow any real significant amount of hair.

where did you get this information from?
i'm pretty sure there are no clinical studies examining the effect of meth on dht.

i did however read that crystal meth causes blood vessels to CONSTRICT.

Hairloss is'nt caused by lack of bloodflow, think about it its the blood that delivers DHT to your follicles.

the best source there is : personal experience.... did use it 3times a week for 1 year... started as just when going out...

its now 2 years ago.... so i have really change my life...

Yeah there is actually a study to the complete contrary, that reduced bloodflow actually slows male pattern baldness, it is an old study though.

There is no way that is simply him with grown out hair, his hair is virtually non exist in the middle. If that was somehow real hair and not photoshoppped, he would be about a NW1-2 with a buzzed head, would look nothing like his before shot which makes me think it is bullshit.

About the skin, I imagine they would be scabs from picking at the skin. I know on ice people get the feeling of mites and stuff under their skin so they pick and scratch at it constantly.
Otherwise they would be pimple type things from the imbalance of everything going on inside the body's system.

 

[cuebald]

I think they've just gotten the pictures the wrong way round.

It's real and not photo-shopped. In the "after" picture you can still see the same thin spot in the middle of his forehead. In the "before" picture you can see that the hair behind the frontal thin spot is still quite thick and has just been grown long and "combed" all over the front.

 

[dream-guide]

I had a dream where a guy told me that he rubbed crystal meth on his head to make hair grow, i remembered the dream in the morning, googled crystal meth and here i am! Who wants to try first?
