This video covers a method that has helped many people stop hair loss and even reverse it. It's simple but does require a lot of diligence. The "method" is based on Rob English's hypothetical model that may explain some (not all) instances of hair loss.
Rob and I's full talk was much longer, but to make it more digestible, I've isolated this section regarding his hypothetical pathogenesis model for just this video. For the record, Rob was extra careful in our full discussion to not present the model in a way that makes people overconfident in it - while it's very interesting and I think it's very much worth investigating, it's not a magic bullet. Hopefully the information discussed here is useful for you, but don't take it as a reason to not investigate other promising interventions as well.

There are more men who care about height than hair, so doing a video in that topic would help us a lot. Hope you would do one in near future.
I was afraid it would be a boring topic to talk about, but not on this channel. It was fascinating even without being bald at 47.
Can you please talk about the strong association between premature hair loss and greying and cardio vascular disease like MIs??
Love your channel and interested in the full interview, too! Have you considered uploading the full interviews (like the Jordan Peterson one) to a second channel?
*_Massage tends to relive stress. Could hair loss just be caused by stress?_*
I can't believe how refreshing it is to hear a professional say "we don't know enough yet". So sick of all these grifters taking advantage of vulnerable people.
finasteride is the answer
Yes, Daniel Franco. Chemical ©@$+®@+¡0π is the answer. G€π¡u$.
The irony if this - the guy in this video is a literal grifter.
I am typing this as someone who is experiencing hair loss, and does not wish for anyone to be duped into trying such nonsense and lose more hair.
The only tested, proved remedies, are: finasteride, minoxidil, and micro-needling.
The notion that blood flow, circulation, or posture has ANYTHING to do with hairloss is completely imaginary.
@@bonkling different things can cause hairless for different people. Therefore different cure will work for some people and not others
He is not a professional and acces to his files will cost you a fortune. Go figure?
The 25 minute mark was an absolute delight. Robs transparency about the limited Evidence for his hypothesis is the epitome of how scientific communication should look like. Too many scientific communicators take unsubstantiated but compelling hypotheses and run with them without establishing their evidence legitimacy
Well said! Have a nice day :)
I'm a big fan of the 30 minute mark.
It was so refreshing I didn't know how to react
Only if the recent medical therapies the world participated in were that honest
so it’s useless lol. thanks for telling me prior to watching the whole video.
This guy is really genuine. He's more interested in the data and research than money. It's refreshing

Exactly!
Just like a real scientific researcher should. Love it.

You know you are facing a real scientist when they are many "we don't know", "we're not sure"
But the title of the video says otherwise
Our bodies prioritize damage and inflammation over hair growth. Everytime I'm having gut issues I notice my hair is thinner and drier. When my gut is thriving and I'm well hydrated I noticed my hair grows, looks fuller and shinier.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:12 🤔 Rob English proposes a unique hypothesis for why hair loss happens, addressing the relationship between DHT and hair growth in different areas of the body.
00:27 💡 Rob shares techniques for hair regrowth that are accessible and not behind a paywall.
00:41 📚 Rob's paper on his hair loss model was accepted into an academic journal, and he now serves as a journal editor in the field.
03:59 🧪 Rob proposes a hypothetical pathogenesis model for hair loss that considers various factors such as inflammation, blood supply, and muscle tension.
05:25 🔬 Low blood flow in the scalp may be a consequence of hair loss, but there might also be anatomical triggers contributing to the reduction in blood and oxygen supply.
08:39 ⛓️ Rob's model suggests that chronic tension from scalp muscles could lead to inflammation, causing DHT to accumulate in balding scalp sites and induce scar tissue formation.
09:19 🧠 The pattern of tension across the scalp might align with the rapidity and location of male pattern hair loss, while changes in head size can model the tension pattern of female pattern hair loss.
11:50 🤔 Botox injections to relax scalp muscles have shown improvements in hair density and halted/improved hair loss.
12:20 💉 Clinical trials have demonstrated a 75% response rate to Botox injections in terms of stopping or improving hair loss in individuals with androgenic alopecia.
13:56 📚 Multiple studies have shown an 80% response rate and an 18-21% increase in hair counts after intramuscular injections of Botox over a 6 to 10 month period.
14:37 🎯 Scalp tension and scalp muscles offer a unique target for addressing hair loss outside of the typical drug model.
15:05 📊 Combining Botox with medications like Finasteride may have a synergistic effect, leading to a significant increase in hair count.
15:46 🧠 Scalp tightness may be influenced by various factors, including genetics, jaw development, and androgen exposure during early development.
16:56 🤷 The exact cause of scalp muscle tension is not fully understood, but studies indicate that tight scalps are more common among individuals with androgenic alopecia.
17:41 ❓ Botox injections may improve hair density by potentially increasing blood flow and oxygen levels in the scalp, although more research is needed to confirm this mechanism.
19:17 🌬️ Low blood flow and oxygen levels in balding regions of the scalp may create an environment where dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is favored and expressed at higher levels.
19:59 🤝 Low oxygen environments seem to promote hair loss and the conversion of testosterone into DHT, potentially contributing to the progression of androgenic alopecia.
22:16 💆 Scalp massages and acute inflammation exercises may lead to hair regrowth by targeting scalp relaxation and inflammation generation.
24:36 🤝 Standardized scalp massages have shown promising results in improving hair thickness and regrowth, with a time-dependent increase in effectiveness.
26:25 📚 Scalp massages are currently supported by survey-based studies and anecdotal evidence, with the mechanisms behind their effectiveness still speculative.
27:49 📈 Extended use of scalp massages has shown slow but significant improvements in hair counts for a portion of individuals over one to three years.
28:47 💊 Scalp massages can be an alternative for individuals who do not respond well to FDA-approved drugs like finasteride and minoxidil.

Rob is well-spoken and im really glad he understands the hiearchy of evidence, importance of study population and extrapolation. And also the abscence of paywall is a plus.
Definitely the best interviewee so far
No pay-wall is a plus for YOU but take some time to consider the benefit he is bringing and appreciate that people SHOULD have paywalls
@@JackTheStrippa This is only important if you care about the economy, which most people don't.
@@JackTheStrippa Corporate paywalls are often legitimate, though research is most times public-funded, so adding a paywall only goes against the mission of a university towards the wider public. If it's a private institution, things are different, though most private universities are no-profits anyway, so I don't see a reason to support generalised paywalls.
@@gs7828 what are you talking about? A paywall is simply a way of supporting hard work and
It's all about circulation, which is why most of the medication for hair loss works like high blood pressure medicine by dilating the blood vessels which in turn would relax the muscles and de-constrict the blood vessels allowing more oxygen to get to the hair follicles which will allow them to grow . Blood moving freely will also relax the body
I love that instead of posting long podcasts as other channels do, you kept only the required portions, and knitted them into a story.
This is honestly game changer and conforms a lot of my observations with my own hair loss and hair growth journey. If I could add something that the video left out it's that improving my posture, specifically my forward head posture significantly improved my scalp tightness. That coupled with scalp massages and microneedling made my hair go from a wispy mess to a thick mane, and a lot of my Norwood is slowly reversing.
Very interesting! How do you improve your forward head posture?
I was having this same thought as I watched. I had whiplash and chronic neck pain and after 20 years, I'm working at helping my neck again with acupuncture, massage, etc. and I'm noticing profound effects, even a different in my appetite. The muscles, tendons, fascia, are all connected, so a tight scalp could easily be a result of something down the chain.
how did you get microneedling done, like who did you go to and what did you tell them?
@@justsomeguywithnoeyes7303 I did it at home after a bit of researching techniques (there's a lot of youtube tutorials that show you how to do it), and what not. First, leave the microneedle in a cup with isoproly 70% alchohol to steralize it, then I hop in the shower and shampoo my hair and massaging my scalp to make sure its clean and ready to dermaroll. Once my head is dry, using 1.5mm dermaroller I press firmly and go in straight lines thru most of my scalp, 1 or 2 times horizontally, then again vertically. Takes about 10 minutes to go thru all the areas in top of your head. Then I just wash my head with water and sterilize the dermaroller again before putting it away. I did this like every 1-3 weeks, and still do.
I don't recommend it for everybody, especially if you have low pain tolerance (does get easier tho, the more you do it) or if you aren't meticulous with disinfecting it and making sure none of the needles are bent (get a new one if it happens.) It does a lot though, it eases some of the muscle tension, it promotes blood flow, increases collagen production in the area.
That's what I was thinking. Poor posture is known to lead to tense neck and restricted blood flow. Why are victims of hair loss seem to be getting younger and more common? I'm guessing its due to this generation s poor posture aka tech neck.
wow! I'm a woman who has bruxism. It got MUCH worse after I got invisalign-like braces. I got chronic tension in my jaw, temples, neck, etc. I also started to get mild hair loss. I would have never put the two together without this guy!
@@Gachuiri2 thank you friend!
Improved my bruxism with ''Mewing''. Keeping the tongue on the roof of the mouth as a newly adopted resting posture. This chanel has a video on it. You can also look up the work of Dr. Mike Mew on orthotropics.
@@fredericp64 thanks! I've known about mewing for quite some time, unfortunately I still have bruxism but I think it's helped
Bruxism is often a result of malnutrition, lacking certain vitamins or minerals in your diet. Things like vitamin B-5, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin C.
This is part of the reason why it’s so common among vegans and vegetarians. The B vitamins are particularly hard to get in these diets.
I’ve found making sure I’ve eaten enough nutrient dense food in a day, and not letting my room be too hot at night helps a lot to reduce my bruxism.
I have Bruxiam and I plan on getting Invisalign . Will it make it worse? Why did it make yours worse? Has it improved
Its fascinating to me how every time we discover something relating to the human body theres always a degree of traditional wisdom that applies, like we all have this concept that if you get too stressed your hair will fall off, and turns out it does have some influence
True
Constant Muscle Tension is linked with a lot of adverse physical problems.
Probably because humans have great pattern recognition skills. We always saw how those who were more stressed lost hair, but we just didn’t separate the factors and test it before. Same way we know “don’t eat smelly meat”. We noticed because who ate the smelly meat got sick.
Kinda like modern medicine is trying to catch up
The extra information in the comments section is just fantastic. Thanks to everyone who shared their personal experiences and what worked or didn’t work for them. You all are amazing.
Two men genuinely just trying to help, much love to you, love your content
Some people in India visit barbershop specifically for head massage. Now I get how helpful it is for hair growth.
yap get that tension out of your scalp
head massage is fine, just dont do the neck... same with indonesia, some barbershop also provide head massage but usually also with neck bending stuff which scary
that is smart
"Relaaaaasx"
This is what we need guys, a real brother helping us out!
In terms of head massages, women know that if you massage your head upside down for 3 minutes daily then your hair will grow thicker and also regrow, especially using rosemary essential oil. On that, I have an very old yoga book, published in the 60’s that has a yoga move that allows you to grow thick luxurious hair. I think that is amazing. I was telling a woman I know about and she told me that she had an adopted sister that slept in a strange position with her head upside down and had thick luxurious hair.
Thank you for the discussion.
I've been following Rob on you tube for about a year. Great information.
I hope his channel grows after this.
You're by far the most fascinating youtuber on my feed
He is the most thorough and concurrent to the evidence I've been finding by my own experience. Although I object tension to be mechanical but chemical/metabolic. I think pattern baldness is an excellent topic to analyze how nerves and neurotransmitters associated with muscle tension also affect, gradually but consistently, conjunctive tissue, like skin, collagen, tendons and even certain organs. Because tissues like the fascia are not that different from muscle cells, so it's logical to think "constractans" and "relaxants" have a direct and lasting effect on connective tissue that ulteriorly ends up affecting the overall health of the body.
I really like how Rob manages to list run off so many stats and figures yet manages to say so engaged. He is so passionate about what he does. It it very inspiring!
I did microneedling for about half a year on my scalp and used minoxidil every other day. My hair regrew quite a lot. On the before and after pics i'd even go as far as to say that the haircount doubled in the areas that were most affected. It's quite painful at first because the studies i've seen ask for 1.5mm needles that really need to penetrate the skin, but the effects are undeniable. I can definitely recommend it to anyone but you have to stay consistent and can't start slacking because it's uncomfortable. Also i recommend you don't get a dermaroller with too many needles, as those tend to rip the skin a lot and be more painful. I'd go for around 200-400 1.5mm needles on the roller.
Edit: link to before & after pics in the comments
Dermarolling tears skin more than dermastamping, be careful with minoxidil it brings back hair but destroy other youthful features, it depletes collagen in face and can cause dark under eyes.
Could you link what kind of roller you would recommend
Rob made a video about dermarolling recently. new studies suggest different needle lengths.
Can you send a link to the roller you used? Do 1.5mm needles not lead to bleeding so better not use it in the morning?
Turns out that 'blood letting' is a traditional Chinese medicine procedure to regrow hair (thousands of years old). I am undergoing this treatment too. I didn't know 'microneedling' was the western term for it.
More Plates More Dates needs to review this.
Send it!

Insane
be glad not proud
I like this channel. Covering fringe science and letting us make our own decisions about how to act. For example, you make videos covering hypotheses about the role inflammation might hypothetically play in various conditions. Whether or not inflammation really plays a role, there's basically zero downside to eating a diet with less inflammatory foods so no harm done.

@@careycrews1 I think when people receive a hair transplant they usually also get put on finasteride, i.e. the most common drug against hairloss.

This is also completely anecdotal but when the video mentioned that simply hand massaging can reduce stress in the muscles in the skull and the scalp, I tried it out on my tight, tight back from the all-nighter before today's exam and damn, massaging does work excellently. It's almost obvious now how my parents asked me to massage their back or legs after a long day and it literally relaxed them and the muscle I was massaging but I didn't connect the ideas that I could self-massage for flexibility and fitness purposes. I'm just writing this down so I don't forget this!

I’ve been struggling with hair loss for years, and nothing helped until my doctor suggested red light therapy. I went with a panel from Future Form Official, a company in Norway, and it’s honestly made a big difference. It slowed down my hair loss and even helped some of the thinning areas grow back. The panel is actually pretty affordable compared to other options. I'm really thankful for the info shared in this thread because it pushed me to try something new. If you’re dealing with hair loss, I’d definitely recommend red light therapy.
20:00 makes sense, since when people have Peripheral Artery/Vascular Disease, they tend to have poorer bloodflow (and therefore oxygenation) to the legs and often end up with leg hair loss and tight shiny skin
I think mouth breathing also causes hair loss as when you are mouth breathing, the tongue is no longer at the roof of the mouth supporting your upper jaw so your face tends to drop down and fall back over time which pulls down/stretches the muscles on your scalp, again causing that tension in the head just like the video is talking about. So maybe breathing through your nose and chewing hard foods to strengthen jaw muscles could help hair regrowth/prevent hair loss over time (it should be a lifetime habit). Also breathing through your nose calms you down and relaxes you more as you breath at a more slower and optimal rate. It also increases oxygen intake and filters and warms up the air you breathe.
Well said, have a look at the book 'breath' by James nestor. Interesting stuff
There's a tool that positions your tongue in your mouth properly to maximize athletic performance and recovery, I think it's interesting how little things like that can be connected and give us insight into how important balance is for the body.
Thanks a lot sir ,

Two questions, given the 2 baldness patterns (male / female) and female skulls being a bit smaller on average:
1. The video shows two different tension maps for men and women: the peak tension is on the sides and the crown for men, and along the central axis for women. If men and women have the same pattern of skull muscles, female skulls being somewhat smaller wouldn't change the tension map: it would be the same, just smaller for women. The map would change only if women had different distribution of skull musculature than men (I don't know).
2. There are tall women with skull size the same as men and there are shorter men with skull size the same as women. But both group still bald according to their gender pattern. For a man and a woman with the same skull size, I'd expect the same tension map, and thus the same balding pattern, which isn't the case (again: unless there's a difference in musculature)
You have no idea how much i need this topic!!! Thank you!!
Some food for thought, a hypothesis: as we age some people have the head posture moves forward. For every inch forward it applies about 10 lbs (the weight of the head) the pressure to the spinal column... I know because I'm having traction done to correct my neck... I also know that muscles don't tighten by accident, the nervous system is telling it to do so, thus the forward head posture puts pressure on the nerves. When the discussion about the muscles in the forehead would tighten... it got me thinking... perhaps this is related?
As a PT & muscular therapist i found your hypothesis very interesting.
@@jedrashidul6952 Thank you for noticing my comment and letting me know. And it seems to me that this could be the tip of an iceberg... How many _more_ things could be like this? As a PT & Muscular therapist... I don't know how much you see/know in chiropractic care... but briefly, it helps me live a life pain free, but if I miss for a long time, like happened in the pandemic lockdowns, I had a lot of lower back, neck, thoracic, all over pain and stiffness... but it was amazing how quickly it was resolved with adjustments... practically in minutes to hours, and a few took a week or so, but I mean most were instant! So the nervous systems is in control, and "form" follows "function" in the body. Like the neck and the ANS firing muscles to stabilize it... while I am not a medical person, this is what I've experienced first hand and I realize that I am not physically that exceptional of an individual so I don't see why it shouldn't apply to many people. I hope that you can do something groundbreaking with this hypothesis, BTW: I've also mentioned it to my Chiropractor (Intern at Life West Chiropractic College) and he thought it was interesting as well. Thanks, and have a great day.

Bingo! At 30 I upset my C5 neck disc and got chronic neck pain. Bumped the back of my head and upset the nerves in the scalp. I had a tight band around the head headaches. Never had a history.

Stress does tend to cause tension headaches and muscle contraction, so that would help explain why stressed people also start to lose their hair.

Pattern baldness runs in my family, and I had thinning hair from I was in my early teens. Then I noticed that bald men had tight scalps. So in my twenties I decided to start stretching my scalp. The result is that forty years later, I still have most of my hair on my head.
How did you stretch it? Can you please share
@@ayushmanot7612 Basically you massage it. Start at the sides and pinch the skin between thumb and fore finger, working your way all over.
How many minutes do you massage and stretch your scalp.
@@josephwanjiku6853 Before I address your question, is your last name Wan? Well, I do it for a few minutes whenever I remember. Definitely no prolonged periods. Stretching consists mainly of pushing the skin together between the tips of ones fingers on both hands. My last name is Wan. That's why I asked.
Outstanding research and work.
We need to get More Plates More Dates on this. 👌💪🏻
I really love this channel. I NEVER know what I’m going to learn about but I’m always intrigued and learn something ☺️
This video has a lot of misinformation in it sadly
stop being so gullible
This video is amazing from all points of view. He even admits they don't know enough to confirm his theory, even though there is significant evidence of it being true and it's the best model we currently have that fits better than just the DHT-only model.
Thank you that you discuss the quality of information👍
This guy is talking about Scalp Tension, I've always had this feeling there was something connected with my tension headaches and hair loss.
Less stress, proper nourishment, proper amount of motion and so on. Good builds, evil destroys.
My great grandpa who passed away at the age of 103 was the laziest human i ever knew haha, he really took his time, would take him hours to finish breakfast, he used to take naps laying on the lawn, never stressed about anything, if he didn't slip and fall on the ice he would have pulled off several years more i'm sure.
I find it amazing when I look at photos of people in the past, you rarely saw bald people.
yes photos in the 1700's had people with so much hair!!
Very much scientific and genuine guy.
Relaxing of the eye tension muscles does help egg shaped eyeballs otherwise known as Astigmatism to an (even) ball shape. This does help lessen the astigmatism affect. I've been doing it for a number of years and yes, it does work. I'm no longer wearing glasses to drive or do far vision and am continuing to do exercises to help my near-sight vision. Just relaxing all muscles in your head, eyes, ears, face, neck will help you calm too.
How do you do it?
i have an astigmatism, how do you do this?
Astigmatism describes the shape of the lens, not the eyeball.
I long a time ago I suspected that scalp massage prevents and helps hair grow. I suspected it after reading a book about it written by two ladies that they did not really understand why or how. Their premise was the stimulation of the scalp by the use of a home made scalp lotion. I suspected the lotion was unnecessary and what was important was the massage. Because of laziness, I rarely did the massage, but now I think I should try it again. It only takes about 5 to 10 mins (I think); we can do it while watching this video.
Don't dismiss the lotion so quickly. Who knows what herbs and oils they had in it
Man this info is a gem 💎
Thank you for the info. I have realised the same thing. Stress causes muscles to contract and remain rigid. Also one more angle to look at is the flattening of the scalp could be due to sleeping style too. If we sleep on our belly's then the back of the head scalp is rested. If we sleep on our back then the back of our head scalp is stretched. It pulls the forehead scalp backwards.
One more technique from India, is to do the head stand. Blood rushes towards the scalp. Do correct me if you also have seen a bald dancer who does head spins on the ground etc. One health youtuber form India suggests that Alpase and alpine are found in carrots and tomatoes. They help block the DHT. Im trying that too. Yes will do the head massage as suggested.
Thanks for sharing your research.
I never knew how tight my scalp was until I saw this video and tried some of the massages. So much hidden tension released.
The most common nutrient deficiency in our society is potassium, which is involved in muscle relaxation. Wonder if there is a correlation there?
interesting although my father like eating bananas and still bald though
Matthew McConaughey says he massages ointment into his scalp for 10 minutes a day and that fixed his hair. I wondered if it was Minoxidil but hearing this the massaging is next level. Maybe over the counter Minoxidil with massages combined with fasting and keto is the play.
He's a liar, no one can regrow that much hair on the temples without fda approved drugs like finasteride or minoxidil
bruh
You know Matthew McConaughey is a fckn lier right. Dude has a hair transplant and because it's still a taboo subject he won't admit it lol
He had a special shampoo he used in the 90s. No it wasn't a keto or min shampoo.
Also I wouldn't put it past him to have gotten hair transplants.
He had transplants
WooooW this is so amazing and revolutionary ! Thanks for this wonderful video !
Ok, that’s mind blowing. I was suspecting this though. I feel tension in my scalp all the time. Been loosing hair for the past few years.
This makes sense, if you stressed our muscles are getting tense so it result in losing hair. Recently i have been super stressed out and i have long hair, so hair loss was super visible in amount of hair i had to take out of shower drain. I need to get some rest and relax and massage my scalp to not lose my hair
I am beginning to be a believer. Although male alopecia is supposed to be inherited by the mother’s side, I send this vid to my (very scientifically materialistic) father, telling him: « We might have a way/ an issue! ». He answered to me only five minutes later (which told me he hadn’t seen the video), saying : « This seems ludicrous! Not quite scientific... ». He also pointed chemical reactions he knew that would favor alopecia in a genetic and definitive way. (This, again, made me though that he had not seen the whole video.)
Then, I started to massage my scalp 3 weeks ago. I got the most of the technique out of the Web (note : rob’s site is probably spot on, but I din’t like the « as seen on TV approach offered on the web site, meaning that you’ll only know (I suppose) about what it cost after receiving several emails ending on a pooooor undeserved cliff hanger. I did not like to think of that sympathetic researcher as a full-on busy-business well-being developper. So I found what I wad looking for elsewhere: i.e.: on channels of those having benefited from the scalp-massages.
Soon enough, I bought myself a 20 $CAD vibrating brush for the scalp and integrated it to my routine (which is anywhere from 3 to 10 minutes each day, divided in 2 or 3 times).
SO : after a month and a half having exercised my scalp, which includes a 2-week integration of an electric brush, I am happy to report something like a 10% increase of my hair volume. This is especially verifiable on my forehead where my GF and I could easily see that the hair is now going way lower towards my nose, and also - mainly! - there are two 50/50 lengths of hair : the longest, which are hair shave a mouth and a half ago; and all the other (as much as the previous !) : half of the previous.... leaving me to think that these are knew hair.
Starting as of today, I am gonna take pictures, hoping that my father will remain speechless for a few hours for once in his life!
what brush did you buy?
update?
@@Muffles Still growing, but I had a treatment that reversed the effect for a while (like 4 months). Overall, people I haven’t seen in a while are noticing the new hair up there. I’d say that some spots seem to react slower than others (it seems, in fact, that it goes the other way around the loss : I’m getting back my hair where I lastly lost it, etc.). The brush I use is a fairly common type found on Amazon. I selected one with a vibration function, but I’m pretty sure I would get a similar result with a manual one.
The other great aspect is the loss of dandruffs spots. I tend to think that the main factor for both benifices is a better blood circulation within the scalp.
What a fantastic guy, great video!!
Not to simply a beautifully complex study area, but makes sense that hair health is related to skin health, collagen and elasticity in the scalp. Would be interesting to study young healthy skin balding men.
So, what should we do to stop hairloss & regrow hair?
1) massage the scalp perimeter through scalp presses
2) acute inflammation along the top of your head via specific skin pinches and presses and stretches
#2 makes no sense; how about a rewrite
I'm 48, and have been having regular, almost daily head & scalp massage and gentle hair pulling/tugging since the past 20 years. It did wonders for stress, sleep, blood pressure and by the way, there was no hair loss, as I just found out from your video.
I guess I'm not going to stop doing this.
Everything from your video just justifies the scalp massage.
Care to elaborate on your routine and type of massage? What do you do exactly?
Do you have any family members with hair loss?
@@zed2960 Been doing scalp massages for a few years as well, after suffering from hair loss repeatatly. (I got medication from my derm in the beginning, but after stopping the medication it kept coming back)
I got myself a electric scalp massager (can get the cheap silicone massage brush too of course) and I use it every other hair wash, while I have shampoo in my hair. I put some mint oil in the shampoo too. Nice side effect is, that it helps with dandruff and itchiness.
My hair loss didn't come back for the last 3 years and my hair became thicker. My hairline is more full. It doesn't speed up hair growth of course, but I'm just thankful for having a full head of hair.
@@dommy3660 yes, very strong family lineage of hair loss.
@@auroras.2015 which scalp massager did you get?? I only see the small silicone ones on Amazon.
This is brilliant and exciting. Well done mate, and thank you!
Don’t be fooled so easily.
@@danplove97 can you disprove hos logic?
How do you discount the effect botox had on scalp muscles?
I don't necessarily think that massages will work though
Holy crap, thank you for this video.
I've had a long journey of spinal issues and started losing my hair around the time I had to medically retire. In the last ten years my scalp went from having deep soft ridges and thick hair to tight, tender, and thinning. Its only been three days but my ridges are returning, headaches are gone, and my scalp stopped aching.
@@lemon_j22 go to the dudes website and learn how to do the massages. its easy and relaxing once you get the hang of it. hopefully some of my hair grows back, we'll see!
Always excited to watch for new science backed episodes from WIL!
Great video. Have you ever looked into folliculitis? It's also a complicated scalp disease, which can last for decades, and the usual treatment is a low level of antibiotics/anifungal for the rest of your life. Some people have success with unorthodox treatments, which suggests more complicated underlying causes for it than just bacterial/fungal overgrowth. Your body is supposed to fight those bacteria, but for some reason it doesn't/can't.
I have had it, and it makes you wish being bald just to escape the pain from boils. My wish was granted after 16 years. I have lost significant hair but am happier
Stop eating sugar and simple carbs. It feeds the fungus
Is this something that Ketoconazole shampoo tends to combat?
genius level hypothesis great job!
I was bullied in 10th grade because I had a bald spot. I saw a dermatologist and was put on Propecia and Rogaine at the age of 15. It helped me keep most of my hair, but side effects were massive.
nocebo effect
Yup which is why I rather be bald.... hope you're healthy man
@@SyThco13 L
What were the side effects?
@@_shery. pp no happy
This is what I pay my internet bills for! Incredible stuff 👏🏻💯
This is better then any treatment in the whole medical history i have tried this for 3 years and i was able to restore 90 % of my hair although nowadays I don’t get enough time to practice it so again i am where i was before.
This is fantastic and makes ALL the sense!
Androgenic hair loss is quite different than the kind of hair loss. A lot of us are experiencing right now due to environmental toxins. It would be nice if you would address that in one of your other videos?
The doctor who just did an interview with Mikayla Peterson had very eye opening data about environ toxins.
