Bald Man Burns Scalp, Accidentally Regrows ALL His Hair
ฝัง

- In 1986, a 78-year old bald man fell asleep in his rocking chair, slipped, hit his head on his fireplace, and suffered full-thickness burns across his scalp.
Six months later, he baffled his physicians when he returned to the hospital for a checkup... with a full head of hair.
Who would have thought that an accidental burn to the scalp could inadvertently trigger hair follicle regeneration?
This single case report rewrote everything we had previously suspected about hair regrowth from androgenic alopecia. Contrary to the dogma repeated at the time, we learned that hair follicles don't die. We also learned that full hair regrowth is actually possible... even for people who have been bald for decades. And this discovery happened by accident, because of an accident.
In this video, we'll dive into this case study, discuss wound-healing pathways for hair regrowth, and reveal how anecdotes like this help pave new avenues of research into androgenic alopecia.
Fascinatingly, signaling proteins and growth factors recruited during wound-healing processes share significant overlap with pathways recruited for hair follicle proliferation. Now, it's up to researchers to identify these processes and find a way to consistently replicate these hair growth results... and without risking severe injury!
We're getting closer to answers. In the meantime, don't try this at home.

I lifted my arm to shield my eyes from an explosion. I made a full recovery without scaring. I did not pick up any shrapnel, and nothing was 'blown off'. I had no skin grafts. Over a few days the burned skin fell off. That included the entire top of my forearm. As bandages were changed I watched the skin on my arm regenerate from nothing. The first thing to happen was hair growth. It was amazing, little hairs emerged from nothing but redness like shoots from seeds in newly planted field. Then little circles of pink skin grew around the hairs. These grew and joined up. It is now just as it was before, a person can not tell the difference.
Isn't the human body amazing?
I read that the skin will use hair to regenerate lost skin cells if it is left undisturbed. I believe it was an article about iodine and its regeneration properties.
Could it perhaps be because in order to heal the wounded area, the body builds extra blood supply through vessels, thus feeding hair follicles?
I think this is how microneesdling works, damages your skin and causes blood to heal it and forces beard growth.
Probably
The most logical explanation ! 😊
Probably burned away scar tissue like he mentions in his 3rd point
Yea i believe same happen with injections. Is not what is applied to the bald but the wound by the injection itlself makes the body to supply more blood the the spot
This actually makes perfect sense! I got an incredibly bad sunburn on my shoulder a couple years ago that left discoloration and marks for a long time. Ever since then, I've been growing hair in that area on my shoulder when it never grew there before at all. I believe trauma can cause hair to grow.
Same happened to me years ago
I got sunburnt on my face and head but didn't grow my hair🥲 could be the the degree...
yeah i was just thinking what if a self induced sunburn to the scalp could do something here...
@@zachgrossman26 Careful with that I think you're more likely to just get skin cancer.
I have a patch of hair on my back the size of a golf ball that's so out of place because the only body hair have on my torso is a small amount on chest and stomach, but I don't remember getting any burns lol.
Realize this video is a year old, but just saw and wanted to share that I had surgery on my rib cage where I had no hair, and after the surgery, the scar produced an amazing amount of thick hair.
lol
Assuming deep wounding of a sufficient size is indeed a trigger for stem cells (or whatever) to trigger fresh new hair growth, I wonder how it is that the widespread trauma of a hair transplant doesn't have the same effect? Does a large patch need to be completely destroyed to the base in order for this to occur? So many questions.
Thank you! My dad dove into a too-shallow pool in his youth; fortunately, angled up and didn't hit his head, only scraped one side of his chest on the bottom. That side grew much more hair, as he developed later. So all my life, from that story, I've "known" the link between wounding and hair grown. Thank you for this confirmation!
As a female I had an injury to my lower left leg a couple of years ago. And I like the smooth shaven look yet this spot always has more hair faster growth than any other part of either leg.
Try lazer hair removal
I'm gonna try smashing my head against the wall a few times to see if it works

We have to blowtorch our hair
Haha good one
I fell down on my back of my scalp at age 10, while trying to evade a horizontal rope held by my senior in school. He brought the horizontal rope down in time to catch my neck while im running causing me to fall back and had the back of my head hit the cement floor.
I got some good amount blood and had to admit in hospital where they simply put cotton around the injury area to stop bleeding.
Its been over 20 years now and still the injured area(1sq cm area) has been growing very thick hair compared to surrounding area on scalp,just above occipital area. The wound area has so thick and solid hair. I'm wondering researchers should focus more on wounding to cure baldness.
If sometime in the future an actual cure - not that finasteride or minoxidil pharmaceuticals- for MPB is found it will deserveedly be lauded as one of the greatest achievements in medical history. Many men, especially those with square heads, suffer in silence due to balding.
creates depression loneliness in a lot of men
This guy appears to be wearing a hair helmet.

LEGO hair 😂
This story about the burn leading to healing is exciting information - thx for sharing - I’d say it relates to micro needling - inspiring healing through damage
Great video 👍🏻
Around this time last year I had shingles. A scab/cut appeared because of this where my hair was receding . I now have alot of hair growth in this area
I remember reading about this man in your book you published few years back. Your book was a revelation for me, I implemented most things from it and I stopped my hair loss and regrew most of my receding hairline. Thank you.
That's awesome to hear! Congrats on your progress!
what did u do
@Bswag Swag @rockyp32 Dietary changes, saw palmetto, sarsaparilla, cold showers, stopped using shampoo (sometimes only use apple cider vinegar), scalp massaging, microneedling + peppermint and rosemary oil on wounds from microneedling. Keep in mind that what worked for me might not work as best for you.
@@paweopalczewski6533 Hey, what's the name of the book? where did u buy it?
Bro I would appreciate you answer me on this, were you diluting peppermint and rosemary oil with other oils or you just apply peppermint/rosemary oil on its own on your scalp without combining with any other oil?
Funny how accidents can end up helpful. Like guy who's glasses got shattered and went into his eyes. The doctors thought he would be blind but removed the shards of glass healed and had perfect vision!
Woah really? If that’s true that’s wild man! 😂😂
thank you SO MUCH for your continued efforts and giving me hope
This reminds me of a situation that personally happened to me. Due to my itchy fingers, I've always liked to press out whiteheads on my upper arms. I noticed back then that the area which I've caused some damage by pinching and slight bruising sometimes caused some thicker hairs to grow. They are slightly larger in diameter then the rest of the arm.
oh my god.... does the age old tale of plucking hair will make them grow thicker actually true
That whole video and information it gave was very interesting....thanks...
What i noticed is that, if i shave my body hair, they would almost multiply but that don't seems to be the case with hair on the scalp
Interesting about wounds potentially triggering hair growth. I have a scar on my back from heart surgery when I was younger, and there is a patch of hair in that area-more noticable than the rest of my back (!)😳🙂
I recall reading many years ago of a bald man hit by lightning bolt. Afterwards, his entire scalp regrew hair.
He was gifted hair by Zeus himself
A lot of good info here. I have thought about this strange fact for several years and include a derma pen in my process. I am 62 year old and had success fighting hair loss for 42 years; I had my first transplant at 20! I agree that DHT isn't the full answer, I believe that other hormones will bind with the same receptors and trigger the same response. I will post my story beginning Sunday.
This is why derma-rolling works. When the body has to heal the scalp, it can jump start and heal hair follicles
I have a cousin brother who is a mechanic , he was working at garage and idk how but accidentally hot engine oil fell on his head , he has balding in genetics and before that accident he was already started balding process , drastically after that accident he has now full head of dense hair !!! 😮😮😮😮
I had both knees replaced at the same time in 2017 and noticed an almost immediate thick growth of black hair on both knees. Whether this was due to the scarring or whatever post op meds they were giving me I have no idea. After about 6 months and no more meds they were back to normal.
A friend started going bald during high school. In his 30s he had chemo treatment for cancer (I don't remember which type of cancer). Once his chemo was over he grew back the fullest, lushest head of hair he had ever had in his life. Sadly, it only lasted 6 months before it started falling out. In 2 years he was back to where he started; almost bald.
Maybe he was taking minoxidil?
Wait what, could you provide information on him?
I was loosing hair and starting g to get bald! Tried quite a few things and all promises but no cigar. Then I tried peppermint oil, rosemary oil and that was a game changer. Been doing that for last 3 months and I notice a huge difference. Finally my hair is growing back! It’s magic
How does the peppermint oil work? Does it just increase bloodflow?
@@nocturnaljoe9543 Yup blood flow therefore hair returns. I would definitely try rosemary oil too.
Will do. Thank you, sir. @@localwebnz2159
@@localwebnz2159where can you buy peppermint oil or rosemary oil and do you have to dilute it with another oil? With which oil is best?
Did you try redensyl before that?
Very interesting, thank you for putting the time and effort into these videos.
May I ask if there's a micro needling video - best equipment, technique, frequency etc. - somewhere in the pipeline?
Again, thanks for what you're doing here.
It’s coming soon!
Imma try this on my neighbor to see if I can recreate the results.
I'm beginning to believe if you treat hair the way you do your grass/lawn it will grow....Micro needle is like plowing or aeration...And have you ever seen a lawn burned and how pretty it comes back?
They know how to cure hair loss and cancer but they wouldn't make as much money curing as they would treating you. Its all about money. We dont live in a world controlled by good loving caring people.
Absolutely right. Those who found ways to cure cancer were wiped out or their medical licenses were.
I actually injured myself by my right ab it wasn’t a major injury, in fact it was just a scrape from a table corner i believe. Next thing you know I have a slightly darker and thicker patch of hair growing there and I’m already a hairy guy so this came out of left field for me
The human body is so complex and medicine study is still to figure out its capabilities …. Basically even bald people can grow hair if our systems decide to send the required signals , but how tht happens is still a mystery .
I remember once I hit my head against my sisters on accident and she had a hair clip. It clipped the side of my head and I had a bald spot for a couple weeks. I was super insecure about it so I was always massaging it, it eventually grew back. I thought that was weird how it just didn’t grow for a while
It takes a few weeks for the roots the regrow back in, about 6 weeks.
I wonder if because he received the wound on the side of the head, that during its healing process it generally loosened tension in the scalp and that's what actually allowed all his hair to return.
I just recently had this happen to me... In a minor scale but same idea. I recently had an elbow surgery, and after about a month, when the cast was taken off, both my doctor and I could very clearly see that quite a bit of vellus hair had grown surrounding the scar. I practically had never had so much hair on any of my elbows :D. It's pretty noticeable.
I find this encouraging, given I'm struggling with alopecia too. I've been doing my own TH-cam research like a madman. Cause doctors here in Mexico tend to be pretty off-putting when it comes to involving you in these type of treatments, they just indicate you what to buy and take, and won't care to explain jack s****.
So it's a long winded way to say, thank you for your research and putting this knowledge out for us!
I think what you should do a in-depth analysis on is people who've had hair transplants at a very young age the reason I say this is that you've had the wounding from the transplant process and then you move the hair from one area to another the other
I started losing my hair the minute Puberty ended at 16. I'm 65.
Usually men who lose their hair at such a young age 😭😧 have nothing left by the time they're thirty.
Now granted I use minoxidil now and proscar actually 5 mg for an enlarged.
But I really do think because my transplanted hair was put in the front at such a young age 23.. this helped to stave off male-pattern baldness process or at least slow it down.
I am having thin linear patches of hair growth over the stretch marks I have on both shoulders. Any explanations?
Its very interesting. Medication terms originally do not only refer to conventional methods, it may also refers to traditional methods like ayurvedic/greek/ chinese methods. As a muslims, i was told that in the past our prophet Muhammad mentioned that 'bekam darah'(malay) or in English, 'blood cupping' at the bald area can encourage an effective growth of a stubborn hair which cannot be explain through scientific way. It is quite similar to the explaination of your video which also relates to the microneedling techniques in order to achieve the same goal.
I have had cuts in both of my eyebrows and the scars didn't regrow hair for years, though they eventually did grow back in fully.
my research is leading to all of this being microbial in nature. I am having results with high strength lactic acid, but I don't recommend this to anyone who hasn't had a lot of experience in serious peels before. The thing is, "if it burns, it's working" holds true in this situation. So many people think they have "sensitive skin" or are "allergic" to all kinds of foods, but maybe 7 out of 10 times, it is because the skin or digestive tract is under the control or microbes and parasites that will come down like an unholy hammer, when you are doing something that harms them. Most of this crap is connected to our nervous system, and controls us continually with their tantrums. Just think about eating a new kind of hot pepper for the first time. What happens? Eyes water, nose runs, you sweat, your mouth is drooling and burning, and it continues right down your digestive tract to the ultimate, horrifying end. You get ANGRY, it's hard to breathe, and you vow NEVER to do that again. This is these microbes being flushed from your entire lymphatic system, it's die off, and it is seriously uncomfortable. Yet, if you keep going , through all the burning and pain, in a week, or a month even, these symptoms become very pleasant, giving you a bit of a head rush, and a feeling of well being. This doesn't me that we "got used to it", it means we just knocked out a whole gang of parasitic narcissists. My mother said "suffer for beauty" and at times, I actually hated those words...but now, I kinda get it. I just see thousands of diseases, blamed on hormones, but they can't explain WHY the hormones do it, with any degree sense. All these things like Fibromyalgia, the rest, that they CAN NOT CURE. It's because it's mold, fungus, parasites, and they never even look there, they do not know disease.
Lactic acid. Sounds interesting. Is there a reason ACV wouldn't have the same results?
Or tretinion?
I would love to know what all you do to ensure healthy microbe health
Plants are toxic, Carnivore diet heals.
So pain is growth?
O que fazer para ter bactérias melhores?
A strong radiative heater ( heat lamp or IR heater) on the head may go some way to stimulate the same thing but hair would be severely dried out... maybe wet it first or protect with something.
I've worked in low rise concrete forming before and we regularly carry concrete debris covered objects on our shoulders that causes friction over time. It's common for workers to have hair forming on their right shoulder. It looks kind gross though, so younger workers will keep shaving/plucking it out regularly:P
the scabbing tears send blood and circulation to area and the hairs grow easier and longer with more oxygen and nutrients from the "massage" and "needling" you all are actually doing
Good job, great content.
What are your thoughts on headstand/inversion method ?
I cannot find your video about proper scalp massage for hair regrow . Thank you
Thanks for the advice, I’m gonna try it at home
Go for it 😉😂
I know what I have to do... but don't know if I have the strength to do it
I Experienced the injury/ hair growth phenomenon. When I was 19 I sustained flash freeze burn on my stomach. At the time of the incident I probably had 3 hairs total on my chest. The flash freeze burned the top layer of skin on my stomach and it became the site of massive hair growth! It became the first location I grew hair as a result of puberty and it’s still the area of thickest hair on the frontal area of my body and I’m 52 now.
By the way, I’ve had tremendous regrowth of hair as a result of micro needling, combined with supplements, red laser lamp, and scalp massage, I’m absolutely amazed at the results and soooooo happy!
Your videos have changed my life for the better sir !
Thank you ! 🇺🇸
Amazing! Thanks for sharing and congrats.
With me it was the other way around: after I shaved with a machine that pulled the hair instead of shaving, the hair never grew back in the affected region.
I am pretty sure the WNT/Beta-catenin pathway is actually implicated in hairloss. The DHT just goes where there is more inflammation, however, the inflammation is due to an imbalance in the afreomentioned pathway. DHT is a symptom, not the cause.
The problem is, "skin" is growing over the scalp (in the form of microbial infection or something equally weird) the hair is still underneath. Just look at "naturally bald" men, the bumpy look, rolls on the neck, etc. If you were to remove the scalp, and look underneath, there would be a matrix of 2 foot-long hair. Anyone who has ever wet-shaved their head will notice that the scalp seems to close over the stubble, and actually feels very creepy. Hair does all kinds of creepy things, we shouldn't have hair growing down the back of our neck, it is growing through the skin, and coming out there. Our hair line is also responsible causing crows feet and brow lines. Just start gently pulling on the hair line, and you will end up at least an inch into your face. This is probably why red-light therapy, micro-needling, etc works, it's killing off the infected layer.
Can you care to elaborate further ?
Here’s a thought. Assume the fire damage was substantial. But not terminal. The miniaturized hair follicles were damaged down to the root. But the sheath remained in tact. (For the most part?)
The body wouldn’t regenerate miniaturized hair follicles right? The process of miniaturization is very slow process.
What if the body healed and replaced damaged miniaturized hair follicles with new hair follicles that have yet to suffer from the effects of typical male baldness?
Who knows,
Sounds plausible!
It is. Here’s a thought. Micro needling. You make the needle extremely thin. Three times as what we use today. And you use a needle length that penetrates all the way through the follicle. 3 mm plus.
I say the needle would need to be thinner than the hair follicle so as not to destroy it or cause terminal damage.
Perhaps causing significant damage may force the body to replace the CRITICALLY injured follicle with a new one. Ideally someone who has advanced MPB would be a great candidate.
(No harm no foul kinda thing.)
could be, or the intensive exposure to infrareds wavelength from the fire when the burn happened, who knows. It's used to stimulate growth, through laser application
@@OktoPutsch I doubt it, laser therapy is a popular option in hair removal. If the hair follicle isn’t completely destroyed it causes a slow and stunted growth. Permanent
@@Barbiecho Hmm but which wavelength is used for hair removal ? (I haven't checked)
Hey Rob, interesting video, I'll give it a shot next Christmas by the chimney! Since you seem to know your stuff on scalp massages, I had a little question for you. Can they cause a little bit of shedding, in the same way that Fin and Min will push out the weaker hairs to make place for new, stronger hairs? Or am I just removing the hairs already kicked out by Fin/Min prior to the massage?
Do the hairs that are shedding have bulbs on the end? Are they all the same width, or do the widths between hairs vary?
@@PerfectHairHealth No bulbs, at least that I can see. Different lengths, but they look about the same width (miniaturized). Should I be worried? 😅
@@troyX If you can, try to run your fingers against any shed hair to feel for a bulb. If there’s a bulb, that means the hair is telogen and you have nothing to worry about since those hairs have technically been disconnected from any blood supply for 2-6 weeks prior to falling out. If there is no bulb, that suggests sheering which just means you should try to create less friction when massaging. Bulbs can’t always be seen, especially for miniaturized hairs. But you can almost always feel the little bump.
@@PerfectHairHealth I my hair falls all and each hair have bulb but they don't have the same thickness, they are getting thin.
I have been telling people this for years… let’s collaborate😭
I think balding is caused by a fungus, and fungi are susceptible to heat. In fact, one of the reasons mammals evolved to be warm-bloodied is because it protects them from fungal infections. The burn suffered by this gentleman killed the fungi that had infected his scalp, allowing the hair to regrow.
This is my theory as well you son of a bitch. Great work.
@@BR525Great minds think alike.
@@VirideSoryuLangleyand fools seldom differ
I think it can definitely be a factor, but like a lot of things in life, it is probably a complex mix of various different factors. For example, wounding can bring greater blood supply and thus growth factors. Plus, there is a clear connection between DHT and balding.
If it was simply just fungal in nature, then completely bald men who get a lot of sun on their scalp, would tend to grow back hair, because sunlight/UV is strongly anti-fungal in nature. All various organisms in that family, from yeasts, to molds, to tiny fungi, all the way up to large fungi like mushrooms---they all don't do well in full sunlight, but grow best in shade, dark, etc.
The yin or feminine energy causes hair growth, when I decide to balance myself in my 20s from way too much masculine, to feminine/Intuitive, my hair grew out into a ridiculous size and length. I spent maybe like 10 years in that feminine mode cause the first half of my life was masculine, was just a choice. We are the power behind this not genetics.
Do you think oral minoxidil is the most efficacious growth stimulant we currently have?
I could be talking complete nonsense, but could phenol peels be useful in treating androgenetic alopecia? Given the controlled removal of skin down to the upper dermis and collagen regeneration it doesn't seem unreasonable that this could be effective, particularly in light of this case. I couldn't find a single report in which this is even attempted, although perhaps there is good reason.
People who are balding on the top of the scalp and still see the hair line (even though thinned out) seem to always (every before and after picture i've seen) respond best to hair loss treatments. Maybe those hairs in the hairline still being there are the most important for triggering other ones.
It's an interesting observation, and perhaps something to explore further. Check out Hugh Rushton's publications! His papers suggest that regrowth from medical treatment does not involve vellus-to-terminal hair transition, but that it's actually the reactivation of kenogen hairs (essentially hairs trapped subsurface) that account for the density shifts. The pathophysiology of male and female pattern hair loss are likely different, and there are also seems to be a hierarchy of androgen sensitivity among hair follicles within a single cluster. Taking all of this into account, I bet there's something to your observations.
@@PerfectHairHealth Imagine just triggering the "mother of all hairs" this hairs does a ring to all the others and checks if the environment is good enough to grow xp
@@PerfectHairHealth joking btw haha
I had a really bad sun burn on my shoulders,, the left one was much worse than the right when I was 14 or 15 it was filled with fluids and blisters, anyway I went to the hospital and I remember the doctor asked me if my parents or someone poured boiling water on me lol, I had cortisone cream and antibiotics cream, after it healed the skin color changed and start growing hair to this day I have hairy left shoulder and no hair on the right one
Wow! Thank you for sharing (and sorry to hear about the injury). I think the pigmentation changes might be an associative factor to hair growth following burns / wounds. In that regard, Maksim Plikus and William Rassman are currently exploring therapeutic targets for hair growth built around the triggers for hair follicle proliferation in moles.
@@PerfectHairHealth how can that be reversed? I dislike shoulder hair
@@PerfectHairHealthAre there any studies related to deep burn induced hair regrowth? I believe that some people would give it a try
I've had a scalp injury when I was about 10 years old (head hit against a ceiling fan) leaving a massive scar the shape of a Nike logo. It wasn't visible until I shaved my head a couple of years later. There's a bald patch the shape of a Nike logo basically. So unlike the study, the scar in my case has left a bald patch rather than encourage regrowth. I'm 23 years old now and suffering from androgenic alopecia I assume (since I have thinning hair and a receding hairline) and the scar (with the bald patch) is much more obvious than it was when I had thicker hair. I guess it depends on the depth of the damage too. A surface level burn may induce healing properties that regrows hair but a scar deeper than that can just kill your hair follicles altogether. Or perhaps the skin that regrew to patch up the wound in my case is just void of hair follicles. Very interesting research regardless, thanks for sharing!
Rob does mention in the intro that the man suffered "full thickness burns". So not just surface-level.
Thanks for sharing for your experience. You're absolutely right: severe acute injuries most often lead to scarring. We don't yet know why some people with full-thickness burns will regrow hair, while 99.9% of others just develop fibrosis.
Oddly enough, someone just reached out to me with a story just like this case study. His great uncle had gasoline splashed on him near a campfire, suffered full-thickness burns to his arms and scalp, yet while his arms scarred, his scalp hairs regrow back completely (he had moderate AGA prior to the injury). He retained the same head of hair until he ended up passing in his 80's, while both of his brothers went completely bald.
@@fruitjuice5672 Then it's probably my latter assumption that explains the bald patch
dude, I literally have the same scar on my head from the same thing happening to me. you and i are in the same boat.
I have a white scar on my eyebrow with no hair follicles
there may be some link to a injury with hair regrowth and thicker hair regrowth , so Think when a person shaves their facial hair or other areas of the body, seems like after they shave the hair in those areas usually grows back thicker and faster!!
I have a large mole on a leg where hairs grow much more, longer and thicker. Can it be related?
After discovering your channel, I searched through your channel hoping to find something related to hair colour. If you know why my some of hair might turn from white to black, then I'd love to know about it.
I have no idea if it can work but I've read that a lack of the mineral copper can lead to gray hair.
Getting myself a flame thrower ASAP.
Interesting. I've had plenty of wounds on my body, from scrapes, cuts burns etc but I only get a scar that fades completely or one that does not grow any hair at all
My father use to carry wood on his shoulder and he experienced some hair growth on the spot
Please do a video on Verteporfin and the research that was recently published by Dr. Michael Longaker at Stanford!
Really feel like this would be a helpful video and is defiantly something the hair loss community needs to hear about!
In middle east we believe in the therapeutical benefits of burns inflicted to tiny areas in the body. It's highly discouraged due to resulting burn marks, and almost non-existent since 1970s in my place.
Do you have a course for growing our natural hair color (no grays) again? :P
Awesome. I'll now proceed to throw my head into a fireplace. Brb.
I think my thin spot on the top of my head got a bit thicker hair for a few years after i got a mild sunburn, but over the years it's gotten thin again
and how about causing a first or second controlled degree burn in a shaved scalp in order to see if it regrows completely?
Hey Rob, is there any clinical evidence supporting cold showers for hair health/growth? I use them to help with my dandruff but I was wondering if they had any other effects.
To my knowledge, there’s no evidence that they help with hair growth. However, there is some evidence (albeit very limited) that cold water exposure through plunges may help to normalize certain endocrine markers and prevent against testosterone reductions from heat exposure to the testes. It wouldn’t surprise me if they also had some beneficial effect on scalp micro flora. If you’re enjoying them, I would keep at it! Not necessarily for hair health, but perhaps overall health.
@Bswag Swag Can you explain the procedure a little better. Should I bend down and dip the head in a bowl of cold water?
@Bswag Swag Thank you!
@@annejansen6558 ice water
Cold showers are NOT beneficial in any way. The shock alone over the long term has been shown to be detrimental to one's health. Plus it doesn't clean well. Just stop with the cold shower nonsense.
True. I had a staff infection and the area around about an half inch from the infection i had alot of hair growth figured it was all the growth factors my bodyvwas throwing to fight the infection etc
He might just have to have follicle blockage that was removed with a burn
I once saw a paper that mentioned "Paradoxical Hypertrichosis After Laser Therapy" like people go to get laser hair removal and it ends up growing more hair instead. As funny as it is I wonder if this could be harnessed for new hair loss therapies.
They already do use red lasers for hair regrowth. Maybe it was the growth wavelength they used instead of the hair removal wavelength
@@SandyCheeks63564 hold on, it would make perfect sense with the fire burn from the video's subject. Fire emits an intense radiative field of infrared !
I'll just think about the traumas and the fact that nettle supports the hair, but has anyone tried to bleed directly with nettle?
Nettle leaves are covered with stinging hairs (called trichomes) made of silicon dioxide with a spherical ampoule at the top, infused with a mixture of formic acid, histamines, serotonin and nerve hormones. Upon contact, the hairs stab into the skin, the ampoule breaks, and the liquid immediately enters the wound.
Congrats on the video. Could something similar happen to soccer players for hitting a ball daily with his head/scalp? Is there any kind of statistics for these players? Thanks.
Acupuncture on the skull and drawing blood ? Does the “health” of your blood effect the hair or something with the blood? Acupuncture wounds the area simulating the similar scenario as the guy falling.
Cool. Thx
I remember years ago I mistakenly put iodine that was make with alcohol on my scalp burned it slightly scab appeared… after a couple of months the same part of my scalp was so thick compared to the rest
Has anyone ever tried maybe needling a bald man's follicles to damage them to see if they regenerate and grow hair again? get a fine needle and a professional who knows how deep to needle the scalp at to reach the follicles and see what happens over the space of a year after this.
I think that's what micro-needling does.
Seems that one could rub the hair aggressively in the areas of the scalp that have thick strong hair on the sides of the head to regrow hair on the scalp that is 5 inches away ? That way to maintain the thin hairs on top of the scalp and not break them with massaging and hopefully grow them thicker?
Great point
Hey Rob, do you know about Nettle root for DHT reduction? If so, how does it compare to Saw Palmetto? Might it be better and more efficient?
To my knowledge, there are no clinical studies testing nettle root as a standalone intervention for AGA. I think it has been tested as part of a combination of ingredients in certain supplements / topicals, but those don't allow us to discern its effects by itself. We do know that nettle root has some 5-AR inhibiting properties in vitro. But in vivo, there's no data.
We have to be careful about applying the in vitro data to humans for a bunch of reasons - a few being (1) contact time in vivo with the targeted tissue will vary, and (2) often, the substances tested in vitro, when introduced in vivo, will metabolize into other things that can sometimes have the opposite of their intended effects.
@@PerfectHairHealth Awesome, thank you for the response!
Have you ever heard of plasma pen therapy? It’s a series of controlled burns. Maybe it can be used for scalp treatments?
I had never heard of this - thank you!
Will stinging nettle work?
Hi Rob
Thank you for your TH-cam videos.
Is it possible that you show your protocol?
Because it’s easy to show what Danny Roddy has already done 5 y ago and give criticism to Kevin Mann.
But I think all the men here need your help to show what is working
Thanks! We've covered this in other videos / comments, but if you're curious, check out the "My Story" video as well as the pinned comments under our "DHT blockers" video. My regimen has stayed consistent for years: stimulation-based interventions like microneedling, massaging, etc. I'm planning on introducing a DHT reducer this year - probably after we're on our way with our second child.
The big disclaimers is that what has worked for me needs to be weighed against the hierarchy of evidence. Yes, natural interventions work amazingly for some people. But just because I've seen success with them, that shouldn't automatically convince someone else to follow my exact protocol. It's person-specific. For example, for people with really aggressive cases of hair loss, medical treatment needs to be prioritized because those treatments carry the biggest chances (and magnitude) of success. Then, when things are stabilized, other interventions can be explored.
I don't get it. Won't the scar tissue impede his ability to regrow hair? I currently have a burn on my scalp,and it's way less severe, yet my spot isn't growing back.
Rob is the goat
I would like your view on RCP?
So do we have to burn our scalp?
I was wondering if you could publish a case where cicatricial alopecia was reversed and was it done so by a similar method mentioned in this video?
Sure! We'll get to that in the next month or so.
@@PerfectHairHealth Thank you so much!
Well how come when I get sunburn on my head no hair regrowth happens?
In my twenties I got drunk and crawled half out the front door to throw up, my friend drug me back in by my ankles. a little while later I crawled back out and he drug me back in. The skin at the bottom ribs got carpet burns, about a year later hair grew in at that area and has never gone away
LMAO you make 1986 look like the "ole timey" days :P
What do you mean I wasnt even born .............
What if the injury has to damage the hair follicles enough to signal a reparatory measure? That would exlplain why a burning can trigger it, but derma rolling is inconsistent.
I have a comment (which probably sounds stupid, but I just thought of it). Could this be related to how some people that consistently do scalp massages achieve hair regrowth over a long period of time? I know it's not the same as having trauma to that area, but maybe depending on the person and application it can trick the body into stimulating growth?
I was thinking this is why microneedling/rollers might be real? They damage your skin with niddles forcing trauma and hair is supposed to grow.. seems very similar to the concept in the comments and video..gona try it out now lol
Yes, massage will move blood through the tissues.
Back in the 1920 and 30's, Edgar Cayce recommended a combo of either crude (unrefined) oil (or hog lard) and massage and/or electric vibrator to re-stimulate hair growth. It was said to mainly occur by stimulating greater circulation and blood flow to the area. He (rather the source he communicated with) said to stick to it for at least 6 months to start to see results.
If this is a factor (I still think one needs to address DHT, potential fungal infections, etc), then ostensibly things like head stands, mirconeedling, neck/head exercises (like the Yogic ones), massage of the scalp whether by fingers or vibration, ultra violet/high frequency wands, and the like should help.
