the bald truth book

I have always been amazed at how many alcoholic and drug using real weathered skin wrinkled up 50 year old homeless people still have a sh*t load of hair. I know in my area its almost unheard of to see a true Norwood 6 or Norwood 7 homeless person. If one is balding its usually just diffuse thinning or just the bald vertex patch in the back.

Bro armando jose is a weirdo. He believes having long hair helps balding xD. His theory is that if you have long hair the sebum wont accumulate on the scalp, it will go downwards along the hair. But if you have short hair it will accumulate on the scalp. Bro please dont listen to this moron. And he also believes applying his 50 different oils on his scalp has stopped and reversed his thinning. He dont even mix the oil with any alcohol or PG or dmso. Those oils will never reach the hair folicles. All he is using is a mix of 50 different oils on his noggin nothing else. No min no finasteride.

Interesting. Not sure what I think about sebum affecting hair loss. I have always had a dry scalp so never thought much about it but there were people on other forums claiming that was making their hair fall out. There has been a few rare cases I guess of people correcting some hair loss with oil. My theory on those few cases the oil soothed enough inflammation to make a difference because like you say hardly any of the oils make it to the papilla area on their own.

I litteraly saw his (recipe of oils) lol. It was shocking to say the least. Litteraly 50 different oils or so. Like a mad scientist. His hair is long and white.

And he said once he got it long the sebum stopped building up so much on the scalp and the hair loss was stopped with that and applying the oils. Did it only fully stop when he started applying all those oils or did his hair getting long stop most of it first?

He even has the balls to say that his oil regimen works better than finasteride and min. Yes its true he believe this.
The one guy I remember that actually showed pictures of his progress and said he was only using oil was applying either olive oil or avocado oil and did get rid of some serious diffuse thinning on his frontal area. Took him like a year I think to do it though. Some people think he had an immune reaction that was corrected but he claims he didnt and it did look like standard diffuse thinning.

Too many oils clog pores. Olive is one of them. I get pimples. Dont really see how applying pure oils on the scalp that have a tendency to block pores would help hair grow. It would mostly suffocate them.
Not sure. What I use is working for me but the DMSO does thin out the oil and combines with it pretty good in addition to taking it all the way to the papilla area. I remember that stuff about lard growing hair but not sure if that was faked or not.

I agree oils are not the answer and can clog pores but the sebum theory with long hair makes some sense - if you consider the opposite when people with thin hair shave to zero for a period of time then grow it out later it tends to be even thinner when grown back out partially due to clogged pores as no hair follicle for sebum to lubricate after shaving. Iv heard this so many times over the years
Interesting hearing this sebum stuff. I remember people years ago claiming it was causing or accelerating their baldness but never thought much about it since I have always had a drier type scalp even when my hair was short or a little longer. Do any studies claim higher DHT in the hair shaft area leads to more sebum production? My vertex balding was a slow process over many years so maybe I didnt deal with that like some people. Though my purges I did with DMSO mixed with magnesium oil had a lot of stuff coming out for a while so maybe I could have had some hardened in the hair shaft itself possibly.

Yes, higher DHT can increase sebum production as it's controlled by androgens. My view is that when sebum is produced on a scalp with little or no hair, it has less to absorb into or travel along, which may be one reason some bald or closely shaved scalps appear shinier (film buildup of sebum) compared with a short buzz cut where some stubble remains and sebum transfers onto these tiny follicles. I'm not sure on dry scalp when shaved but that's interesting.
I’ve also tried things like “purging” pores and experimenting with magnesium, though not to the extent you have. Personally, I think scalp/pore condition combined with galea tension from constant upper traps, neck and occipital muscle contraction are two major contributors to balding.
Have you noticed any recent progress with your current routine?

Clearer than water, till moment all scalp hair are identic in both sexes, more before puberty, then it is paussible that lenght hair can have a key, another example are indians in US, women and men use long hair and don't develop common baldness. I am fool?

It has nothing to do with the length of the hair. Its genetics. And you need to fix your internall inflammation that triggers your scalp inflammation. Applying your oil mixture on your scalp is only a bandaid. You shouldnt need to apply anything on your scalp to begin with. If you need to apply stuff to make your hair grow then you have an internall issue.
