Evidence suggests that Minoxidil’s hair growing effect is partly due to the ability to open potassium ion channels in the hair follicles. But how does that make hair grow? And how can you use it?
Harry Styles has quite an advanced receding hairline and has had since he was very young. But is it about to get much worse? Let’s find out…
Sphinganine is a potent 5-alpha reductase inhibitor and an anti-inflammatory.
I was shocked to see that Justin Beiber is losing is hair. He’s always had incredibly thick hair and a low hairline. He also has very little facial hair, which is usually a strong sign that a man will never lose his hair.
Reducing or blocking scalp androgen receptors is possibly the best way to treat male pattern hair loss because it means we can reduce the damaging effect of DHT on the hair without losing the anabolic benefits of DHT.
The “3 More Inches” shampoo and treatment range is designed to help hair grow longer by protecting it from damage. But does it actually work?
One published study has stated cinnamon increases hair growth by increasing blood vessel vasodilation and the growth factor IGF-1. However, another study has shown that it decreases the growth factor VEGF.
When transforming growth factors are increased in the scalp follicles, the hairs transition from anagen (growth) to catagen and the hair stops growing. The hormone DHT increases the transforming growth factors causing hair to stop growing. So, how can we reduce TGFbeta1 and TGFbeta2 in the scalp?
VETA is a hair loss treatment that works primarily by increasing blood circulation in the scalp. Would I recommend it? Let’s find out…
DHT causes hair loss. Why then do some people have high DHT levels and no hair loss? Here’s why…
Lavender oil has shown some surprisingly impressive hair growth stimulating results. Seemingly via its anti-inflammatory action.
According to several different studies, ‘Substance P’ acts as a growth factor in the hair follicles. One researcher has even stated that Substance P induces the hair follicles to transition from resting phase to growth phase!
The rumour is — and it is only a rumour — that Jennifer Anniston and Demi Moore take HGH injections to maintain a youthful appearance. But can HGH be used to make new hair grow?
Wnt-signaling leads to the increased production of proteins required for hair growth. By maintaining or upregulating the Wnt-signaling pathways in the hair follicles we can increase hair growth and prolong the growth phase of hair.
As far as I can see there are no published studies demonstrating the effect of topical or oral citrulline on hair growth. However there are several studies that have shown consumption of citrulline increases blood nitric oxide levels, which is thought to increase blood flow. But does it actually work?
Nutraviv is a mild, natural topical DHT blocker that reduces scalp DHT with the use of azelaic acid. Read below to see if I think it’s worth using.
Cytokines are proteins involved in some inflammatory processes. Reducing cytokines may be an effective treatment for some types of hair loss.
I was amazed at the sheer number of active ingredients in this shampoo. It’s taken me absolutely ages to go through them all and write up how each of these ingredients benefits hair growth.
Lavender oil has been shown to increase mast cells in the hair follicle and prolong the growth phase of the hair follicles.
The study below has demonstrated that proanthocyanidins extracted from grapes increases the production of hair cells.
Glycine Soja (Wild Soybean) is claimed to be a natural 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. According to one study (shown below) it does seem to reduce DHT and even increase hair growth in males.
Calendula Officinalis may be useful for improving hair follicle neogenesis because of it’s wound healing and anti-inflammatory properties.
Baicalin plant extrat has been shown to increase hair growth by activating Wnt signaling pathways, leading to increased production of hair follicle cells in the dermal papilla.
One of the most important things you can do to increase hair growth is to improve blood circulation in your scalp. To do this you need to dilate the blood vessels and increase the growth of blood vessels by increasing the growth factor VEGF.

The Paradise Herbs ORAC Energy Greens is a really good green powdered drink for the money. It’s much cheaper than most green drinks that contain similar ingredients. Let’s see why it’s cheaper…
I was surprised to see there are a lot of ingredients in this topical that increase growth factors in the scalp helping to increase the growth phase of the hair follicles.
Studies have shown that it’s possible to generate new hair follicles in the scalp — making the hair thicker — by applying the below ‘growth factors’ to the scalp and using a technique called wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis, that can be easily performed at home without any need for medical procedures. Here’s how to do it…
Hairfinity Infinite Edges is actually a pretty good product. It contains apigenin, which increases the hair growth phase by reducing TGFbeta1. It also has several other benefits. Let’s take a look…
Topical carnitine has been shown to significantly increase hair count by upregulating proliferation of follicular keratinocytes. And it even works for male pattern hair loss. Let’s take a look at the results…
