'The mitochondria connection between stress and hair color differs from that discovered in a recent study of mice, which found that stress-induced graying was caused by an irreversible loss of stem cells in the hair follicle. "Our data show that graying is reversible in people, which implicates...

I've had terminal scalp hairs mysteriously grow/regrow years after having begun regularly microneedling all over their area using exactly the same method. How to account for this? My theory is that there exists a very brief apex in each hair's cycle, sufficient for the shallowest of miniaturised...

I experimented with plucking/"waxing" quite extensively using a combination of spirit gum and very gooey Coolmorph thermoplastic (which has a great affinity to the former). They were very effective at uprooting even the tiniest of vellus hairs but didn't obviously achieve any regrowth alas. My...

As you seem desperate, here's my latest wacky plan: I intend to gently and regularly tug on my miniaturised scalp hairs, long term, with a view to: incrementally elevating their malfunctioning follicles to a shallower depth, so that they might be micro-needled back to full health. Although...

If it's of any interest: I've grown/regrown maybe a dozen permanent terminal scalp hairs on the hair line, by way derma-stamping with 80 needles, at a depth of 1.5mm. Tends to be a very bloody business. I have no more than two sessions a week and always rub in liquid topicals immediately afterwards.

Well, there was that man who regrew scalp hair after simply sticking his head in a coal fire.

But such recent findings might prove beneficial in conjunction with others.

As I see it, if chronically high cardio, carbs or anxiety help you to get through life at the expense of your not terribly important scalp hair, then you'll probably pass such an inclination on to your offspring as a survival faculty. Time will tell whether your son will require a similar...
