Hey guys,
I am new here, and I would like to help you all baldingcels (condition - not totally bald... let me explain) with my mad scientist/crazy experimental and consistent tryouts of "unproven" hair loss cures. I discovered that this worked last October and I was ecstatic, prognosing a reversal of my lost hair and achieving Native American level of Norwood... Well, it didn't work like this, but I for sure got regrowth and hairline stabilization!
As many of you guys that have probably researched alternative medicine, in January 2019 I started applying a mixture of rosemary essential oil and peppermint essential oil, later adding lavender essential oil (a few droplets of the 10ml bottles they sell in the Netherlands) mixed with a carrier oil - pumpkin seed oil. Now, there are studies showing that both rosemary, peppermint and pumpkin seed oil can protect and to a degree reverse hair loss. To be certain, I applied this potion to my scalp once every 2 days, massaging it in for a minute or two and leaving it for 30-60 minutes before shampooing it off.
Now, about 5 months later, in June 2019, I noticed I had some limited regrowth, especially on my crown, but it wasn't satisfactory. So after stumbling upon a study talking about scalp massages applied 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes in the evening, EVERY day, I decided to actually try it out and actually stick with it... And voila. Even after the first few times I felt my scalp hot, stimulating the follicles with just my bare hands... And it hit me that the 1-2 minute massage I was doing when using the oils was probably what had worked, even though I continue to sip on pumpkin seed oil to this day.
So, I concluded that while genes play a role (Norwood 1 or 0 guys... Eternal envy), lifestyle habits, especially with our cucked soft food diet and environmental toxins (who KNOWS what shit) we need to take matters into our own hands, literally.
Now I stand at a firm Norwood 2 and while this may be my genetic default (as some ofnl you may claim), I was balding af before discovering this hand magic. So, success story. Though, it has to be caught in time, afterwards it's too late I think.
Tl;dr Was suffering from hair loss, (I got pictures to prove), stabilized and somewhat reversed it with scalp massage and pumpkin seed oil.
