I always read the top 10 most popular posts each week ( I know it’s more like 15) to maybe learn something, but this week instead of reading & replying for hours.. I went through this week’s in 5 minutes.
NOTHING… oh boy… Nevertheless I’m not discouraged… but you would think somebody would come up with something new. For me I’m researching & experimenting on things I’ve never seen mentioned… but I’m not going to waste anybody’s time unless I see something special or different that I hadn’t seen before. Reading this week’s posts is like going to your doctor and asking why my hair is falling out & getting the answer, “It’s Genetics”
Yeah Doctor, everything is genetics, but what’s going to regrow the hair..
“Stand on your head, better blood circulation” “Cut off your nuts, less androgens”
We need better answers & better avenues of research..

Yeah it’s mostly just trolls and coping, sadly. That’s why I spend a lot of time reading through the days when Bryan and House posted a lot. What are you currently experimenting with?

These forum's seem to have come full circle it used to be about how you could finally try and save your hair using the big 3.

Now like you said its people arguing 'DHT doesn't cause hairloss genetics does' or 'who needs finasteride when we've got scalp massages and saw palmetto'. or whatever the f*** is going on over in the impact section.

I have used most of the ideas on these forums, so I generally know what works, what is helpful & what doesn’t.
actually my hair has not look this good for many years, However cosmetically significant regrowth is the goal. I generally look for something interesting to me, that I just haven’t experimented with.
Right now I’m experimenting with Anavar a mild steroid to see if it thickens hair..
I am curious about witch hazel. So I purchased a witch hazel shampoo, 100% pure bottle & an anti sweating lotion..
I bought a bottle of Triamcinoline Acetonide to see if it regrows eyelash loss..
I was part of group buy of Way & Arv.. I only have used Way. Arv should arrive tomorrow or next day. I already see the pied pipers of combination throwing shade on it for their next Chinese chemical. But I haven’t reached a judgement. So for me I’ve ruled out 100 things… And it makes it simpler to try something & discard it or keep it. Of the Big 3 I only like Duasteride topical..& that is no miracle drug..
I use some techniques to grow hair faster, which I think is true, but hair regrowth is the holy grail. I tried about 13 things to darken some graying hairs. Slight progress, but nothing significant to report.
So that’s a short report. If Ivwas to list everything I tried it would be 100 things or more..So if all of a sudden I have a breakthrough I’d have to narrow down exactly what it was. I’m remembering stuff I did a few months ago that haven’t panned out so far.

There is nothing new to learn or to try. The only treatments have been around for decades and there is nothing to indicate that is or will ever change. It all is and always has been snake oil and predatory practices desiring to capitalize on peoples fears and insecurities.

The only choice is acceptance, but most never seem to make it out of the cope phase. That’s why there have been “new treatments” or, (most hilariously considering it isn’t even possible), “cures” on the horizon for 30+ years. If we could cure hair loss we would be able to cure a congenital cancer and all hereditary diseases.

Hair growth can’t be accelerated in a statistically significant way, hair lost to genetic design can’t be recovered, and jacking off leas won’t slow or save your hair. And yet, dozens of people on this forum everyday seem to think these are possible based on nothing.

Its actually pretty amusing, in a dark comedy kind of way.

It’s sort of funny I made it into top “10” the next week.
I have nothing new this week, except I’m going to hair stylist next week to get my 3 month, Cut/ color.. Yeah my stylist likes highlights & I do too sometimes. I can judge if my hair has improved by looking at the mirror & getting home & looking at my mirror. My stylist has yet to say, “Wow your hair is growing new hairs, but last time my hair in back was almost hitting shoulders & I know my hair never grew that much & actually looked half way descent. Usually it grows a certain length and is unmanageable. So I’ll get my 3 month progress or no progress report next week. I’ve tried so much stuff you’d think something would improve…

Not sure exactly when it was started but the recent thread on high dose MSM has been very interesting. Maybe not groundbreaking but it's early days. (The big 3 take on average a very long time to take effect for the lucky people who they do work for).

Magnesium and reducing sebum also cropped up a few times which is also interesting to me.

We all know the big 3 work for some to maintain and very rarely regrow. They also don't work for some, and sometimes make things worse.

Saying there is nothing new to be learned for a generation defeats the purpose of this entire forum. Might as well have a static website detailing the prescription drugs and side effects.

The only way to ever discover anything that can truly work to reverse hairloss is to share ideas and hope something pans out. The whole 'everything other than the big 3 is snake oil' is utter rubbish, if that was the case then its a fact that I would be clean bald by now.
