Ok we all know this results:
"
A 2013 medical study, A Randomized Evaluator Blinded Study of Effect of Microneedling in Androgenetic Alopecia: A Pilot Study, put this theory to the test. 100 participants were randomly divided into two test groups: one group received 1ml of 5% minoxidil solution twice daily, the other group received the same minoxidil dosage plus a weekly microneedling (derma roller) procedure.
A derma roller with 1.5mm length needles was used in this study.
In short, the microneedling procedure led to significantly greater hair regrowth than minoxidil alone. This was confirmed through all three methods of assessment."

Problem:
- minoxidil wrinkles skin
- minoxidil expensive af
- microneedling alone has no benefits?
So i decided to replace minoxidil with peppermint oil (original Mentha × piperita, not that japanese sh*t)
Why:
"The animals were randomized into 4 groups based on different topical applications: saline (SA), jojoba oil (JO), 3% minoxidil (MXD), and 3% peppermint oil (PEO). The hair growth effects of the 4-week topical applications were evaluated in terms of hair growth, histological analysis, enzymatic activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and gene expression of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), known bio-markers for the enhanced hair growth. Of the 4 experimental groups, PEO group showed the most prominent hair growth effects; a significant increase in dermal thickness, follicle number, and follicle depth. ALP activity and IGF-1 expression also significantly increased in PEO group. Body weight gain and food efficiency were not significantly different between groups. These results suggest that PEO induces a rapid anagen stage and could be used for a practical agent for hair growth without change of body weight gain and food efficiency."

Cliffs:
3% peppermint oil more effective than minoxidil (warning mice)
However my plan:
Mixing water and peppermintoil
Using a spraybottle for the scalp
For the roller: in the study they use 1.5mm once per week but how abouz 0.5mm everyday?
