By 35, 60% of men experience hair loss (& its not genetics).
Here are 7 proven ways to prevent hair loss and even regrow your hair:
1. Harvard study: “You don’t lose hair because follicles die.”
Harvard’s 2021 study proved this.
They found that balding scalps still have hair follicle stem cells.
They don’t disappear.
They go inactive.
Hair grows when stimulated, nourished, and oxygenated.
By 35, over 60% of men and 40% of women experience hair thinning.
But fortunately, scientists discovered 5 protocols that fixes this.
Here’s the protocol to train your scalp for thicker, stronger hair:
The myth: “You lose hair because follicles die.”
Harvard’s 2021 study proved otherwise.
They found that balding scalps still have hair follicle stem cells.
They don’t disappear.
They go inactive.
The key is reactivating them.
Fix #1: Microneedling (1–2x/week)
Tiny needles = micro-injuries → healing response.
It stimulates stem cells and increases growth factor signaling.
Use 1.0–1.5 mm rollers or pens.
In one study, men using microneedling + minoxidil saw 4x more hair growth than minoxidil alone.
Fix #3: DHT Blockers (Internal + Topical)
DHT is a hormone that shrinks follicles.
Proven blockers include:
• Finasteride (Rx, oral)
• Pumpkin seed oil (natural, oral/topical)
• Saw palmetto
• Green tea extract
Less DHT = less miniaturization.
4. Minoxidil (Rogaine)
Results take 3–6 months.
• Increases blood flow
• Extends anagen (growth) phase
• Works even better with microneedling
It works with patience, but the side effects are also real.
Beware and be careful.
Fix #5: Ancient Botanicals (Fo-Ti)
Used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries.
Fo-Ti may:
• Promote hair pigmentation
• Extend the growth cycle
• Improve scalp circulation
Now backed by animal and early human studies.
Best used as a supplement or a topical.
Hair growth is not a gimmick.
It’s a multi-system protocol based on:
• Biology
• Circulation
• Hormones
• Inflammation
• Energy metabolism
You’re not “losing” your hair.
Train your follicles properly, and they can come back.

2. Scalp massage (5–10 min/day)
Gentle daily massage increases blood flow, delivers oxygen, and removes tension from the scalp.
A 2016 study showed that massage led to thicker hair after 24 weeks.
Add nourishing oil (rosemary, pumpkin seed, or peppermint) for extra benefit.
3. Hydration
Your scalp is 10–13% water by weight.
When you’re dehydrated, blood volume drops → less oxygen & nutrients reach your follicles → hair grows slower and sheds easier.
Aim for:
• 2.5–3.5L water/day
• 1–2 glasses first thing in the morning
4. Red light therapy (3–5x/week)
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) uses 630–680 nm light to increase ATP in follicle mitochondria.
More ATP = more energy for hair regeneration.
A 2017 meta-analysis showed consistent red light increases hair density and count within 24 weeks.
5. DHT Blockers
DHT is a hormone that shrinks follicles.
Proven blockers include:
• Finasteride (Rx, oral)
• Pumpkin seed oil (natural, oral/topical)
• Saw palmetto
• Green tea extract
Less DHT = less miniaturization.
6. Lower your stress
Stress hormones block Gas6, a key protein that activates hair follicle stem cells.
• Less Gas6 → stem cells shut down
• More Gas6 → stem cells reawaken
Restore this cycle, and you restore hair growth.
Start with 7-8 hours of sleep.
7. Whole-food nutrition
Hair growth depends on protein, minerals, and antioxidants.
Focus on:
• High-quality protein (eggs, fish, legumes)
• Iron + zinc-rich foods (pumpkin seeds, beef, lentils)
• Vitamin C-rich produce for collagen production
Warning: Don't overwash your scalp
Overwashing strips the scalp’s natural lipid layer, which protects hair shafts and keeps follicles hydrated.
Aim to:
• Wash 2–4×/week depending on hair type
• Use mild, sulfate-free shampoo
