Hey I know old-ish thread is old but I just found this forum, anyway I experemented with using a 1/4 baking soda to 3/4 water mix in my hair followed by a half apple cider vinegar half water mix and surprised to say my hair sprouted quick after a week of use and gained colour. Will be experementing on my sisters hair soon too when/if she lets me since shes actually suffering from hair loss.

Check Page 170, Appendix C, in my book “Living Longer and Reversing Aging” You can also visit my website www.doctorpuentesbook.com
Here there is excerpt from the Appendix
Hair growth and baldness
Men with higher levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) have increased levels of hair loss. Too much of this hormone can shrink hair follicles to the point where no new hair can grow. Men may notice baldness of the crown of the head as the first sign of baldness. Rogaine stimulates hair growth in men by inhibiting the activity of DHT. Rogaine works better with early signs of baldness. Once baldness is total, it does not work.
Two preparations (2 percent and 5 percent) rubbed into the hair work about the same. However, recent studies found that, after a year of daily use, 5 percent Rogaine works better than the 2 percent preparation. Some drugs used to treat the enlargement of the prostate help to decrease baldness, but they have some side effects. Propecia and Avodart help to inhibit DHT. Women should not use these drugs.
Spot baldness, alopecia areata or patchy hair loss, may affect some women. When a woman is losing hair, she may be under a great deal of stress. Reducing stress helps to improve this condition. Pulling the hair to create a ponytail too tightly may cause hair loss. Low thyroid may be associated with hair loss. Steroid creams may help to improve hair loss.
Garlic gels twice a day, combined with a steroid cream, were helpful in men treated in a placebo-controlled study in Iran. Onion juice has been found to stimulate hair growth. Some hair shampoos, conditioners, and serums also promote hair growth. Saw palmetto is a DHT inhibitor. I recommend saw palmetto extract, which you can find in health stores. Use five drops of the extract in 10 ml of water and apply it to the hair after using a shampoo and conditioner to thicken the hair. You can use a serum to thicken the hair after the application. Supplementation with zinc and biotin is recommended. Shampoos and conditioners containing biotin are helpful to keep hair stronger and prevent hair loss. -
Anecdotal, but my father has his hair into his late 80's, I have all mine at 53 and my 55 year old brother has already lost much of his. My brother lives a lifestyle much like my father - meat and potatoes, except he exercises where my dad never did much (I'm a vegan athlete and do the full age reversal program). My brother did 23andme and I have a full genome, but I don't think we know what genes cause this. But whatever they are, it appears I got my dads version and my brother got another variant from our mother.
Point being, I suspect that presently if you have the genetic setup to go bald you will, and it would be difficult to prevent, as unfortunate as that is.

Don't torture yourself. I wouldn't waste any time or money on hair regrowth products such as rogaine/minoxidil. They don't really "regrow" hair. Rather, they slow hair loss down and not even considerably. I started balding in my mid 30's and despite the hundreds of dollars I spent (or more correctly wasted) on regular doses of rogaine/minoxidil, baldness finally took cover in my late 30's and now I just shave my head, which in hindsight I should've done right from the start. If you're genetically destined to go bald there's nothing you can do to change that. The sooner you accept it the sooner you'll spare yourself the painful torture and disappointments. The only thing that has a real shot at reversing your hair loss would be something like propecia. But just think, if it's defying your biological genes/structure like that then what kind of danger and damage could it be potentially imposing on your body? There's a risk of erectile dysfunction. So it's not a decision you should take lightly. Just trust me there's far worse things in life than losing your hair. So don't hesitate the slightest bit to shave it off (or at least keep it as short as possible for you) and get on with your life. Thank me later.

It is not necessary that hair fall may be a symptom of a severe medical disease or condition; however, the thyroid is a disease that causes extreme hair fall or loss. Usually, hair fall is common for most people, but you may consult your doctor and ask for a prescription if you face excessive hair fall. However, if you are losing a certain amount of hair per day, there is nothing to worry about, and you may start following a healthy and proper hair-care routine. Make maximum use of hair growth products and start oiling your hair daily. Brush or comb your hair so that your hair follicles are reopened. Include healthy food items in your diet that are also the sources of healthy hair.
