Hate to rain on anyones parade, but this stuff sounds like something that would be dangerous:

Raising it seems like it could be associated with quicker aging as well as cancer.
The concentration of IGF-1 in Follicept is about the same or lower than normal free IGF-1 levels based on age (children have the highest levels because they need it for normal growth) and about the same target blood level for IGF-1 hormone replacement in children with congenital IGF-1 deficiency. The high levels in children, teens, and young adults are physiologic and are not associated with hair loss. Follicept contains a physiologic concentration of IGF-1 that it delivers across the skin to the dermal papilla where IGF-1 receptors are expressed.

I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is.
I'm just looking to be normal and for a 19 yr old, that means having a head of hair
For the record, I started losing my hair when I was 11 or 12, so I've been there (yes, before puberty even). Don't let it ruin your life. Yes, it will be harder, but it doesn't have to ruin it. I'm currently 29.
