Scalp theory is actually the only sensible one. I’ve ten out of ten cases of alopecia including mine where after birth we all had the misaligned scalp situation, very thin hair, no hair in front and some had dermatitis too (it’s common with babies).
Claiming transplanted hair may fall due to thyroid and stress is as stupid of a claim as it gets because it’s completely vague. Like what, thyroid soldiers go and attack follicles? And what is stress exactly? You refer to cortisol? Changes in hormones? Imbalance? Cellular level? What?
I think people need to finally realize we are almost in 2020 and we have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE as to the actual root cause of alopecia or a cure whatsoever. And by cure we mean reversal. We don’t mean grow tits and become a woman.
I’m not attacking you right now but the amount of false advertising is absurd in this field. It’s also very naive from members here to believe that people spend a decade of their time and millions in order to restore their hair. No. It’s purely marketing, it’s taking a stab in this business and making tons of money. That’s it. Take a look at every single treatment that came out. They are all useless yet they have a TON of push. All great names, great promises yet here we are, having a single protocol that involves turning a man into a woman. Great stuff. Now that I have gotten used to shaving my head (more like trimming actually) and I’m a good looking fella, I see reality for what it is.
There have been many memes out there but the Tsuji one is gonna be the single biggest meme of all time. Wait a bit longer and you’ll see. The fact that there are people here actually believing that someone will inject them a tiny magic ball that will spread and grow 100k follicles is beyond ridiculous. Not only that, there are members here that complain about the thickness and color of them, like are you people serious??? I mean there are members here “losing hair” for five years and they’re the same. I bet you half of you don’t even have alopecia, you’re just f*****g around with your temples. Alopecia, actual Androgenetic Alopecia, is ten years. That’s it. First two years your temples are gone, then two more years your entire crown gets fuzzy, thin, curly, hair even changes color (hello thyroid). Then another five years where it empties out. The cycle stops, every hair that falls grows back tiny. Simple. It never stops but you’re bald by 30 as bald as you’re gonna be (some have high bridges, others don’t lose their sides, others bald af).
This forum needs a reality check. One example of a guy WITH Androgenetic Alopecia is that bridgeburn guy I read about recently. And he wasn’t even in a BAD stage when he decided to take drugs, so he managed to reverse it.
Leave the Tsuji memes at the door, as well as the diet memes (I’m having a better diet than most of you if not all) and the drug experiments. Two things mess you up: thyroid and scalp development, that’s it. DHT and inflammation come later as a result. And we are married to this fact for ever. It will take at least 150 more years until the cloning phase even gets remotely close and who knows its efficacy.
Those with hair, enjoy your life. Those with advanced alopecia (who just buzz/shave), embrace life and move on.
