Fatty acids stimulate follice stem cells to grow hair? I am going to test this...

Im sorry that you also have fibrosis. Maybe try to take better care of yourself and your scalp. Dont be like lawton he messed up. But any rosemary essential oil will do if you have to know.

Yep I wish I had known this stuff years ago and could have headed it off before it spread like a wildfire in that vertex area.

These are typicall symptoms. I got none of those btw. Because I shampoo daily even twice a day.

I never really had a sebum issue - not on top of the scalp anyway. If it was an issue it had to be an issue farther down. My scalp has always been on the dry side.

You had any scalp symptoms? Tenderness/itchyness/excessive hairfall anything? If not then your scalp is perfectly healthy and always was. The stuff coming out could be normal for every human being and not necessarily bad, just naturall minerals like calcium and such inside the skin. You should have sent that crap that came out to a lab to see what it contained. Maybe it contained my semen.

It damn sure wasnt healthy with the fibrosis etc expanding like it did. That area would have been Norwood 6/7 concrete hard in a few years I think. I was convinced calcium salts deposited in there big time but I wasnt getting much effect from the DMSO/Ascorbic and citric acid combos before I used the rosemary oil combo.

You got a showerhead filter? I recently got one.

I used to spray magnesium oil on my scalp. To breakup calcium if I had it. Also rubbed pure apple cider vinager. But never with dmso but my scalp is like a sponge and I get more severe sexual sides from topical finasteride than oral finasteride. Even when I use the same dosages.

The OP of the reddit thread said it didnt work for him BUT this guy in the comments posted pics. Day 1. Day 60 and day 90. I think im sold. Looks like its actually working wtf? He uses Ethyl Alcohol 95% as a solvent with oleic acid.

Does he say what % is fatty acids and what % is ethyl alcohol when he mixes it. Looks like definite progress. I am at day 68 and I am pretty sure I think I have him beaten out for sure. Will be interesting to compare my day 84 picture to that. I think the alcohol issue is making sure its fully dissolving the fatty acids to carry it all far enough.

. Here he says what he uses. But im not a chemist and suck at math so I will just do what you do. Dmso and oil and not meassure pure acids and alcohol to perfection like he does.

Interesting. I guess you really only do need one of the 2 fatty acids like the study pointed to with the mice growing hair on either of the 2 - its just those are the only 2 fatty acids that will stimulate the stem cells.

I wish just eating or drinking the fatty acid would work lol. It still kinda sucks that you gotta keep applying this topical like minoxidill in order for it to keep working. I highly highly doubt stopping entirely will make the hair keep growing like normal.

Curious on that myself and its why my plan is to drop to once a week application after week 12 and then later if that works stop entirely and see if it starts reversing or not. If it does I will just jump back on it. My frontal hair is just a little thicker now from it I just noticed for the first time a few days ago. Guessing the new growth must be just a tad thicker as I dont think any new hairs have sprouted there. If I do have to keep using this stuff more than once a week in the future I will probably switch to an alcohol application.

Sounds smart. As we can see alc works too. I will buy 95% and that buckthorn oil. Buying pure acids and do chemist work is not my cup of tea because I would be clueless how much to use. But you use avocado oil and get results so thats good enough for me. But you may need to switch oil if avocado oil dont dissolve good enough in 95% alc. But buckthorn did at least. I would still use this max twice a week. Im on oral min saw palmetto and trialing finasteride again x3 weekly 0.25mg. highest Oleic acid is found in olive oil (80)% im gonna consume 10 tbs of the oil twice a day lol.

Yep I would probably buy pure oleic acid. The mouse with that looked like it had just a little more growth at 20 days than the other acid.
