Hopefully I have got your attention.
I want to get a better idea whether a topical treatment that has worked for me will work for others.
Its cheap, easy to get and you should know within 7 days whether it is working.
How do I define “working”?
For such a short study, all I am looking for is “cessation of shed”.
I know my heading is dramatic and sounds spammy, but I am not selling anything.
Just read on a little bit more and you can make up your own mind.
Who I am seeking?
(1) I am seeking either males or females who are suffering from Androgenetic Alopecia (male or female), and/or Diffuse Alopecia or Retrograde Alopecia (male or female);
And:
Who is currently experiencing a massive shed, either on the frontal/temple area or in the occipital area (side and back hair).
(2) You do not have to cease any current treatment or supplements you are on to participate on this study, and you can even be on no current treatments.
(3) If you are interested in participating, please message me with the following details.
-Your gender
-Your age
-The type of Alopecia you believe your are suffering from
-The region on the scalp you will be testing. Please only choose frontal/temple or occipital. Please don’t choose both because the hair loss count may get compromised by one region not responding.
(4) What I will ask each of you who are interested in participating in this study is to perform a comb-through test (5 comb- throughs one after the other per daily test) on the region of your scalp you are testing, and log the number of hairs in your comb after the 5th, per day, and continue for 7 days during treatment.
The treatment I will ask you to use is Topical Melatonin.
(5) Why topical Melatonin?
(a) Firstly, because after losing over 50 hairs per day from my progressive balding for years, since I started using topical Minoxidil I am lucky to lose one hair per day.
(b) If you do a Google search for “topical melatonin” + “androgenetic alopecia” + “pubmed”, you will find a number of very important studies that have found that topical Melatonin reprograms hairs on on Androgenetic Alopecia scalp back into the Anagen phase.
(c) If you do a similar search but search against “Female Androgenetic Alopecia”, or “Diffuse Alopecia”, you will find many other studies that determined that topical Alopecia has the same effect on women, both on the frontal/temporal region and on the occipital region.
(d) If you do another search on “topical melatonin” + hair or fur regrowth + animals + pubmed, you will find even more studies on animals in veterinarian and/or commercial/farm settings, that have again shown a similar response, the cessation of hair loss.
I can’t say at this stage whether Melatonin will work for users of this forum, nor can I say that it would regrow hair, but if we find find other users who experience a very sudden cessation of hair loss, that would be a significant step forward.
Now, I am Australian and I have been using the following Melatonin product. It is an off-the-shelp product designed to be sprayed under the tongue. But I spray it on my scalp. Its Melatonin content is described as 6X. I am not sure what this means, but it worked for me.
If you want to take part and prefer to use another product, feel free. Just let me know what brand you use.
I use Bioglan Sleep spray.
I get it from a local chemist.
Search on it or use the following link.
And let me know that you want to be part of this trial.
Disclosure: I have no connection to this product, the manufacturer and I am not generating any income or any other benefit from below link. And again, feel free to use whatever brand you wish.
Hope to hear from you

(P < 0,001). (4) In 60 men and women with hair loss, a significant reduction in hair loss was observed in women, while hair loss in men remained constant (P < 0.001).
