Dude, that's nasty--not showering your body??? Solution: Join a gym.

I'm a woman and use it twice a day. I must say that ALL my hair is longer and grows faster, even the near-microscopic hair, but I depilate, so I don't care about unwanted hair elsewhere. :) My non-terminal hairs aren't thicker, though, and I'm not getting extra terminal hairs except in the...

AA=Androgenic alopecia or alopecia areata? It doesn't work as well with alopecia areata, but it won't make you thin over time even if it doesn't help much. Alopecia areata is usually reversible and self-limiting. Androgenic alopecia is progressive.

The average length of a shed is 3 months on Rogaine. A lot of people discontinue it then. At 6 months is when most people see either regrowth or return to baseline. In up to 15% of cases, hair loss is only slowed, not halted, so you might not see quite baseline again, just a slower decline...

Given your age, the chance of conception in one in hundreds of thousands with no BCPs. 99% of women are infertile by 44. Get a tubal ligation and you won't have to think about it, though. :)

Hair can thicken in the same cycle. I have long hair, so I can see thick hair from 4+ years ago, thinning hair from last year and the year before, and the same strand getting thicker again after the minoxidil kicked in. There's actually no reason that hair would have to cycle to thicken! And...

Once every 5 days, max. It does NOT work by helping topicals absorb. It helps by inducing better quality dermis.

Topical oils do not magic themselves into subcutaneous adipose tissue. The ones you listed don't even absorb into the topmost layers of skin.

On hypoxia--hypoxia causes angiogenesis, which would increase hair growth--though it mainly benefits the brain over the rest of the tissues. High-altitude training works for a reason. Did you know that the word "qi" in Chinese also means flatulence? Pretty accurate as far as this theory...

Your business with the Ph of blood is off-base. Blood Ph is extremely tightly regulated. If it goes off, you die. All this "alkaline diet" nonsense is just that. It will do nothing for hair.

You have cause/effect backwards. WNT/beta-catenin signaling increases fat deposit levels as it sends hair into the anagen phase. Just adding fat doesn't send it into the anagen phase. Actual cold therapy would decrease circulation--which is clearly not good since inducing angiogenesis through...

After 2 years of hair loss, I got some regrowth on Nizoral ALONE. So have several of my friends with age-related female thinning. With minoxidil in the mix, massive regrowth. No more rodent-sized hair balls--down to losing under 10 hairs a day. (And with my length of hair, you CAN count...

Not true at all. Sebaceous gland upregulation is a normal part of childhood. Actually, children's hair generally thickens through age 30, on average, in men and 40, on average, in women, after which it thins. Of course, lucky folks like me get severe premature thinning. Thanks, genetics! :)

Watch out for estrogen receptor a. It induces apoptosis in the hair follicle. Phytoestrogens are receptor b selective. In vitro, they seem to slow hair growth while preventing telogen phase, but in vivo, they seem to just increase hair growth across the board. I use this as an adjunct...

It works, but they would lose their Latisse income stream. Latisse is very low concentration--for head-hair growth, 5-15% concentration is needed. They won't release it until their huge Latisse profit margins are dead.
