Description: In 1535, Sir Thomas More refused to take an oath to the king… and was sentenced to death. At his beheading, witnesses noted something strange: in mere days, his hair had turned from dark to white. In 1791, Queen Marie Antoinette attempted to flee Paris, but was captured by revolutionaries. On her way back to the city, her hair changed from dark to white… overnight. How is this possible? Under extreme stress, air can get trapped in our skin. This air can enter our hair follicles and then our hair strands – stretching them like a balloon. This turns their translucent – from dark to white. This is called canities subita, and as of today, it’s been reported in medical literature nearly 200 times. #hairloss #perfecthairhealth </video> <video> Peppermint Oil For Hair Loss - THE TRUTH Description: Should you use peppermint oil for hair regrowth? And is there any validity to the 2014 study that found that peppermint oil might be more effective than minoxidil? Peppermint is a cross between water mint and spearmint. It grows throughout Europe and North America. Peppermint oil is extracted from the leaves and flowers of the peppermint plant. One of its key components is menthol – which is what gives peppermint that cool, refreshing taste and smell. Some studies have linked peppermint oil and its components – like menthol – to a number of health benefits. And these benefits are the reasons why some people argue that peppermint oil can regrow hair. But can it? In this video, we'll reveal: - The science behind peppermint oil - If peppermint oil can regrow hair - The best concentration to use and if peppermint oil is safe - How often you should use peppermint oil - How it stacks up against other hair loss treatments (like minoxidil) -- VIDEOS REFERENCED: What Causes Hair Loss?: https://youtu.be/cnh9HHttr0Q The Hair Loss Industry Is BROKEN | Evidence Quality Masterclass: https://youtu.be/Or2ca-UEuDc Men: How To Fix Hair Loss At Home (Full Guide): https://youtu.be/8MHUO5nxvwI "Maybe I Need More Time For Regrowth" - HUGE Mistake!: https://youtu.be/AGXDUQC5ABY -- WANT OUR PERSONAL SUPPORT?

Description: This video features an interview from Alessandro, a member of our community. For 10+ years, Alessandro was misdiagnosed by five different doctors / dermatologists as having androgenic alopecia. Despite pursuing treatments, his hair loss only worsened. Finally, he was correctly diagnosed with androgenic alopecia plus another hair loss disorder. This changed his entire treatment approach... and today, he's finally seeing hair regrowth. Alessandro's hair loss story doesn't have to be your own. This video is as much a cautionary tale as it is a reflection of the underwhelming care too many dermatologists provide to their hair loss patients. I hope you use the takeaways to ensure that you never go through the same experience: - Alessandro's early diagnosis of androgenic alopecia as a teenager - Nearly 10 years of treatment failures (finasteride, minoxidil, microneedling, massaging, & more) - Resolving side effects from finasteride - Alopecia Areata Incognita: the hidden hair loss diagnosis that 5 doctors missed - Success with a multi-targeted approach: topical finasteride, topical minoxidil, clobetasol foam -- STEP-BY-STEP DERMATOLOGY GUIDE: How to get a better hair loss diagnosis: https://perfecthairhealth.com/dermatology-guide/ -- WANT OUR PERSONAL SUPPORT?

If you get the dose, dilution, and application frequency right, you may be able to reduce the likelihood of side effects while still gaining new hair. According to some studies, the daily exposure volume of topical finasteride that has no impact on serum DHT levels is ~0.1 mg daily. This translates to 0.01% x 1 mL daily, or 0.005% x 2 mL daily. Anecdotally, we've tracked serum DHT changes at this formulation. While many people see no changes to blood hormone levels, some people still report declines in serum DHT. So, individual data collection is still important if you're considering using low-dose topical finasteride.

Description: When it comes to the causes of hair loss, research paints a nuanced picture. Consider the following: Scientific consensus is that the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) causes androgenic alopecia (AGA). So then how come AGA also occurs in children with little-to-no DHT... or women with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome? Scientific consensus is that AGA is genetic. So then how come four studies show that genetically identical twins can go bald at different speeds? Scientific consensus is that low blood flow is a consequence of AGA, not a cause. So then how come drugs that improve blood flow can also regrow hair? These questions have spurred countless debates online over what really causes hair loss... and what to do to fix it. And, in true internet fashion, these debates tend to devolve into lost educational opportunities. Both sides inevitably turn to insults, ad hominem attacks, and straw man arguments to "prove out" what they believe... regardless of merit. The end-result: nobody learns anything. So a few months later, the same debates resurface. We grew tired of the internet tribalism. So, we spent 3+ months building a free resource that eliminates the straw manning and does what these online debates never do: steel mans all arguments "for" and "against" popular hair loss theories. FREE GUIDE: Primary Vs. Secondary Factors In Androgenic Alopecia: https://perfecthairhealth.com/the-leading-theories-of-hair-loss/ From genes to DHT to scalp health to prolactin to blood flow to inflammation, you now have access to the best arguments, counterarguments, and rebuttals for any potential contributor to androgenic alopecia (AGA)... along with the roadmap for how scientific consensus is reached. You'll also discover which factors are believed to be "root causes" vs. "accelerators", and why this is critical to know when navigating your treatment options. We hope this free resource adds to your education on this topic. We've got more coming! -- INTERACTIVE GUIDE: Free Guide: Primary Vs.

Since different kinds of hair loss have different causes and different treatments, identifying your type of hair loss is critical. If you fail to do this correctly, you might end up wasting years of time, money, and hair pursuing hair loss treatments that have nothing to do with your hair loss causes. In this video, we will dive into the four major hair loss types that make up 95% of all diagnoses (including their presentations, prevalence, and causes). Also, we spent 3+ months building a free interactive tool that shows you how each hair loss type presents in both men and women. You can learn what causes each hair loss type, how they advance, and what is happening in the hair follicle at a microscopic level. This tool can be accessed for free here: https://perfecthairhealth.com/hair-loss-disorders/ We hope that his tool and this video help you minimize the possibility of a misdiagnosis and get you on the right path to regrowth. -- INTERACTIVE GUIDE: Free Guide: Interactive Chart Exploring Hair Loss Disorders: https://perfecthairhealth.com/hair-loss-disorders/ -- VIDEOS REFERENCED: What Actually Causes Hair Loss?

Even bigger? The answer is not what you might expect, and this video might change your approach to microneedling entirely. Microneedling is a therapy where people use medical-grade needles to create micro-punctures in their scalp skin. Microneedling probably supports hair growth in a number of ways: first, the micro-punctures can enhance the penetration and activation of other topicals, like minoxidil. And secondly, the micro-wounds also activate growth factors that might encourage positive tissue remodeling and hair regrowth in balding scalps. A new study just came out that sheds light on what the best needle length for hair regrowth actually is. In this video, we'll reveal: - What is microneedling (and how it can regrow hair) - The difference between needle lengths and skin penetration depths (and why it's important) - Which of the following groups from the study saw the best results: 0.5mm, 1.0mm, or 1.5mm - Our recommended needle lengths for each microneedling device (roller, automated pen, and stamp) -- VIDEOS REFERENCED: Microneedling For Hair Loss – New Insights!

Marketers have uncovered a repeatable formula to manipulate clinical trials – all by taking advantage of the broad legal definition of "hair loss" and "hair growth". First, they design their studies in such a way to all but guarantees good results – and for any pill, supplement, topical, device, or shampoo they want to sell. They do this by: -Starting a study in September to produce false-positive hair regrowth due to hair cycle seasonality -Jam-packing people who just quit minoxidil into a placebo group, so they shed lots of hair -Picking study participants with temporary forms of hair loss that will self-resolve without a pill -Advertising a "clinically studied" product, then bait-and-switching to sell an unstudied product -Grouping vellus and terminal hairs together to force statistically significant hair count results ...and more. The end-result: consumers buy these products, their "real-world" results almost never match the study's "clinical results", and then they blame themselves. In actuality, the blame should be shifted to the companies who knowingly engage in these practices – at the expense of consumers and to the benefit of their bottom line. In this video, we’ll expose these practices. We’ll feature dozens of examples from big brands – companies with study designs so deceptive that their "clinical findings" should not – in our opinion – be trusted. Then, we’ll reveal a step-by-step framework you can employ to protect you from deceptive marketing practices: a framework for evaluating evidence quality. With this framework, you'll be able to evaluate the real evidence on any hair growth product before you even buy it. We hope this video helps you make better treatment choices, avoid bad product purchases, and save you years of wasted time, money, and hair.

Cure Hair Loss? Description: It’s no secret we are in an AI revolution. But can AI cure hair loss? In my area of focus – hair loss research – I’m actually seeing AI hurt consumers, rather than help them. This is because these large-language models are currently co-opted by marketers. And if we don’t fix this problem, it’s going to get a whole lot worse in the years to come. In this video, we'll reveal: - Real-life example of how AI is currently misleading hair loss consumers - How marketers manipulate AI to feed consumers misinformation - Ways AI can be improved to help consumers on their hair loss journey -- FEATURED VIDEOS: Men: How To Fix Hair Loss At Home (Full Guide): https://youtu.be/8MHUO5nxvwI The Hair Loss Industry Is BROKEN | Evidence Quality Masterclass: https://youtu.be/Or2ca-UEuDc Microneedling: The BEST Needle Size For Hair Regrowth (2024 Update): https://youtu.be/LxHNpkIKW0E -- WANT OUR PERSONAL SUPPORT?

This means that study results for these treatments may not reflect real-life results. The hierarchy of evidence evaluates how well studies are designed. The totality of evidence evaluates how much research has been conducted on any one treatment. The higher the hierarchy and totality of evidence, the more likely it is that study results will reflect real-life results. In this short, we'll rank natural treatments based on their hierarchy and totality of evidence.

Here are the three ways that microneedling enhances minoxidil's hair-promoting effects: 1. Microneedling enhances transdermal absorption of minoxidil through wounding. 2. Wounds from microneedling increase sulfotransferase activity. 3. Microneedling appears to amplify minoxidil's effects on WNT signaling pathways.
