And love cousin Itt! Looks like my old dog ![]()
I remember being a teenager and sometimes seeing women from behind and thinking they were my age because of their hair and youthful figure until they turned around! I’m that person now but see it from a different perspective and I’m thankful for hair and a youthful figure. I can’t have it all but I’ll keep trying!!!![]()
2 months. I get it from the Carefirst pharmacy and their “foam” formula that includes 10% minoxidil, finasteride and bimatoprost irritates my scalp. hence, I prefer regular 5% minoxidil foam. Also there was no noticeable extra regrowth or effect on my grey hair vs regular minoxidil foam. To put things in perspective I’m Norwood 2 and don’t have many grey hair to speak of. Further trying to restore the hair that I lost 4 decades ago is a challenge. In my opinion microneedling + minoxidil is superior to very expensive carefirst formula.
Looks like One Skin now makes an hair serum with their OS-01 senolytic peptide.
One of the papers they give as a rationale for that:
Restoration of hair follicle inductive properties by depletion of senescent cells
That’s interesting. I may get some and apply after microneedling.
Our result is interesting as hair darkening has not been formally reported as a side effect of cholinesterase inhibitors, and our findings will add to the list of drugs which can cause re-pigmentation of grey hair. Although cholinesterase inhibitors have been widely used for over two decades, darkening of grey hair has not been reported previously, which could be perceived as unusual. Possible explanations include a prolonged period of use is required for hair darkening to reach a level at which it becomes clinically detectable. Furthermore, patients often do not remain with their memory clinic physician long enough for the change to be observed, or the patients’ hair colour is not usually monitored as hair colour change is not an alarming complaint.
We focused on patients with a minimum 6 months drug use as scalp hairs grow at a rate of approximately 1cm per month.10 Thus, we assumed that at least 6 months would be likely to be required before the changes were clinically noticeable.
The mechanism of cholinesterase inhibitor-induced hair darkening is not known. Possible mechanisms include increased production of melanin due to activation of melanocytic stem cells or stimulation of melanogenesis.2 We found no significant difference in melanin concentration in darkened hair of patients treated with cholinesterase inhibitors and the dark hair of control subjects. This is consistent with the hypothesis of increased melanin production, and the findings suggest that the darkening of hair is less likely due to the deposition of a drug metabolite.
Interestingly, the most common site of hair darkening was the occipital region (70.9% patients with hair darkening). The reason for this is unclear. It has been noted in men that grey hair typically begins at the temples, and then spreads to the cranial vertex and lastly the occipital area.11 Perhaps the reverse may be true if re-pigmentation occurs.
This topic is also very interesting;
Luteolin is a HDAC inhibitor
hello @RapAdmin and others,
Just wondering if anyone here has tried this formula and actually seen any results - good or bad. Would love to hear your experience. Also, has there been any new info or breakthroughs around reversing grey hair?
How often do you use rapamycin?
Then reducing agent can help?
As a preventative most likely yes. To reverse we would need something more robust.
I am not sure if it’s that simple.
There isn’t anything proven to work. However I am trying a general kitchen sink approach mainly geared towards hair growth/preservation, hoping some of the intervention can reduce graying.
A. For hair directly:
B. Anti-inflammatory diet - Green med style.
C. Exercise.
D. Sleep
E. Stress management
For 51, I have about 50-70 gray hair strands - not too bad, maybe something is working. Strangely my facial hair is more prone to graying, so more incentive for staying clean shaven.
I would not say that is unusual.
I wonder if this or a variation of this could be a cure to gray hair? Maybe if done as mesotherapy.
Hairs can change colour midshaft from white to pigmented.
What is the list of compound and where did you order?
There have been experiments with specially designed topical dutasteride that stopped hair loss without impacting serum DHT levels.
There are also reports from people experimenting with a newly available androgenic steroid dihydrotestosterone (DHT) enanthate where they didn’t have hair loss as a result of using it.
It’s possible that testosterone > 5AR > DHT at the follicle level is more harmful to hair than total systemic DHT levels.
DHT enanthate is different to DHT derivative steroids like masteron and primobolan. Not a whole lot of human data is available for this other than a few old studies and an increasing amount of anecdotal reports online.
