Hair loss has randomly stopped - Accidentally found a cure?

[Feelsbadman]

Guys this is a serious thread.
For the past few months my hair consistently sheds. Every time i run my hand through my hair several hairs fall out. I could literally sit at my desk and shed up to 60 hairs if i continually ran my hand through my hair. I would also notice hair loss in the shower. My hair was also beginning to feel very thin. However over the past 2 weeks my hair has stopped shedding. Hardly any hairs fall out! My hair also seems to feel thicker.

So why is this? I am trying to understand why. Some things i have done over the past 2 weeks.


1. Stopped masturbating
Very strict here. Absolutely no watching p**rn or looking at any sought of sexual images.

2. Cold showers
I've recently been taking cold showers. Deliberately holding my head under the cold water 3 times a week.

3. Eaten less nuts.
I try and eat as healthy as possible. However i haven't bothered to re buy nuts lately as i have ran out. Could nuts be detrimental to hair loss? Nuts may increase testosterone levels and thus DHT = hair loss? Are nuts bad for hair loss?

4. Post workout fasting
After the gym i consume a protein shake and then i don't eat for several hours. I believe this causes a large spike in HGH and is good for hair.

Besides those 4 things i can't think of any other thing i've been doing differently.

What are your thoughts?

Are you on any treatments? It might just be your male pattern baldness "stopping" for a bit, some guy's hair loss occurs in sudden random spurts from my understanding.

 

[shookwun]

it hasn't stopped. Wishful thinking is always a start.

Two weeks is nothing to gauge whether or not hair loss has stopped. If you truly have male pattern baldness chances are your loss will progress unless you're on treatment. If you really want to test your "regimen" stick to it for a year with documented pics and you will then have your answer.

It's possible that you've actually shifted to a different physiological state, but honestly, two weeks is not enough time to tell. Most likely it's your mind playing tricks on you.

Seems a bit like broscience to me. Cold showers are good for your hair but won't stop hair loss. Not masturbating will just stop your scalp from sweating... and it has been proven that test doesn't affect hair.

Unaware about post-workout fasting tho.

Yeah, you have accidentally found a cure.

never fails to blow my mind how ill-informed/stupid some people are. Yeah dude ur hairs gonna totally get thicker in just 2 weeks!!! Either you are implying ur hair has increased in density which would only be noticable after months and months of regrowth given the hair only grows roughly 1.25cm per month, OR you think the diameter of ur hair just magically increased which is just not possible given ur hair is simply dead cells. Do you lack any ability to think critically?

Another thing I heard recently was "yeah my hair grows really fast for the first couple of inches from a shaved head, then from then out it grows very slow". Like WTF, how fukking stupid are you. What feedback system exists that would allow ur body to know what stage ur hair is in, whether it is shaved or longer? How and why will it just suddenly slow down? God stupid people really piss me off.

None of that is proven to make a difference to hair loss.

Almost as stupid as the gym will make you bald faster theory

Almost as stupid as the gym will make you bald faster theory

LOL

That statement is so far from reality

LOL

That statement is so far from reality

How so?

Do do you have evidence that working out causes male pattern baldness?

I'd love to see that study.

Broscience theory means nothing.

If you believed every theory about hair loss causes you'd be scared to do anything.
