No retard,
Follica is basically now the only forthcoming treatment I actually look forward to, I'm well aware of the research on wounding, and yes there are people on Reddit and YouTube who have managed to get good results with these DIY methods.
Most don't, though. Most people here don't, and most people here have also taken some non-results from these sites and defended things like blatant hairstyling changes with no actual difference to the hair quality.
sh*t like this is what makes the "New Reasearch" forums a laughing stock and n00bz think you're all insane. People like sportsguy and those who came rushing to defend him before he even spoke, in which he confirmed my assessment of his disappearance, don't do anything but discredit New Research to n00bz because you all look totally unhinged and coping.
It is not "unreasonable" to expect that users here claiming good results share pictures of their results.
It is not "unreasonable" to expect that a valid treatment option produce cosmetically worthwhile results.
What IS unreasonable, is denouncing anyone who expects the formers two as "trolls" and it is also unreasonable to attack people as a "troll" who point out that the dude in the one picture clearly just got his hair cut and blow-dried it upwards.
