Is it possible to regrow hair that has turned fine and fuzzy?

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

Hello. I am 26 years old. My hairline has been receding for about 6 years at the left and right temple areas. I still have the middle section of my hair (I’m not sure of the best way to describe it). Anyway, when I closely inspect my scalp, the entire receded area is still covered with VERY small, fine, fuzz-like hair. At a quick glance it looks bald, but upon closer inspection the hair is still there.

My question is, do I have a good chance of growing the lost hair back? I don’t know how long it takes for a follicle to completely die, but I would imagine that if that had occurred, there would be no hair visible in the area at all, right?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi and thanks for your question.

If you examine any part of your skin (except your palms and the soles of your feet) closely enough you will see tiny, almost invisible, transparent hairs. These fine hairs are known as ‘vellus hairs’.

A hormone by-product called DHT causes the tiny vellus hairs on the arms, legs, faces and other areas to grow thicker and darker during puberty. The same DHT has the reverse effect on the hairs on the head, later in life.

In order to save these tiny vellus hairs from total extinction you need to reverse the miniaturization process by reactivating the vellus hair follicles. In cases where the hairs have become almost invisible, your hopes of reactivating them are slim, but it is possible – providing you work fast; which is why starting a good hair regrowth regime before your hair loss gets too bad is always advisable.

How do you reactivate these dormant hairs?

In order to bring these hairs back to life you need to follow four important stages:

  1. Reduce DHT levels going to the scalp
  2. Remove DHT already present in the scalp
  3. Increase blood flow in the scalp
  4. Increase nutrient supply to the hairs

DHT is what causes the hair follicle miniaturization in the first place (in most cases), so that’s the first thing to deal with. Then it’s a case of getting the blood and nutrient supply to above and beyond the levels required for a terminal hair (normal thick hair) to grow healthily. Once DHT is eliminated from the equation and nutrient and blood supply are charged up, the hairs can begin to regrow.

There are a few other tricks that can help. The scalp needs to be shocked back into ‘hair growing mode’. It may have been in ‘hair loss mode’ for a while, so it needs something to spark it back into life. This is a fairly simple process that can be completed from home.

How to reactivate dormant and dying hair follicles

Friday, June 11th, 2010

If you have a receding hair line and/or your hair is getting thinner at the front of your scalp this article is for you. Take a close look at the hair at the front of your scalp and compare it to the hair at the bottom of the sides of your head, near to the back. If you notice that the hair at the top front of your scalp (particularly at the edges where your hair line is receding) looks thin and even wispy in places you need to focus effort on restoring these hairs.

Years ago I noticed my hair line was receding but I didn’t examine the hairs very closely. I bought a product called Fabao 101d and rubbed the topical solution into my scalp twice a day. Some time later when I examined my scalp, where the hair line had receded I noticed many smaller, thinner, lighter coloured hairs along the hair line seemed to have grown. I was quite pleased and thought that Fabao had done the trick.

I was wrong!

It was some months later that I realized my initial analysis was incorrect. The smaller, thinner, lighter coloured hairs were not new hairs. In fact they were older hairs that were growing back thinner and wispier than the hairs they had replaced. The hairs at the front of my scalp were slowly dying causing my hair line to recede further.

This was obviously a bad thing but it did give me something. It gave me a good understanding of how my hair loss was progressing. Having studied hair loss for several years I used my knowledge to properly diagnose the hair loss. I was experiencing ‘hair follicle miniaturization’ in the classic male pattern baldness shape, caused, most likely by DHT in the scalp.

DHT in my scalp was causing my body to treat the hairs along my hair line to be treated like ‘foreign bodies’ by my scalp. Effectively my scalp was slowly rejecting these hairs instead of feeding them and eventually, they would completely die.

Having diagnosed the cause of my hair loss I was able to create an effective strategy to reverse it. Unfortunately frontal hair loss cannot be treated by Minoxidil and many other hair loss treatments are ineffective against frontal hair loss.

How to reactivate hairs that are going dormant or have become dormant

There are three things you need to do to reactivate dormant hairs and to stop the scalp from treating hairs as foreign bodies. You need to

  1. remove DHT from the scalp;
  2. reduce DHT production in the body to healthy levels; and
  3. feed the weakened and dormant hairs so they reactivate and eventually become terminal again.

This is actually very easy and I have developed an extremely effective method for doing this. The method has three phases. First of all you remove the DHT and unblock any blocked pores in the scalp. Then you feed the hairs directly using an inexpensive topical solution that penetrates the epidermis of the scalp to feed dormant and weakened hairs via the hair shafts. You alternate between these two phases causing the scalp to concentrate on removal of DHT, dead skin cells, sebum, embedded cosmetic products and pollutants, followed by feeding the scalp with nutrients that inhibit DHT and feed hairs.

While doing this you will be following several simple procedures that increase blood flow the surface of the scalp, filling the blood vessels that feed the hair with blood. At the same time you follow my special hair growth diet that feeds the hair from the inside. Nutrients are sent to the hair via the blood so the increased nutrient intake coupled with increased blood flow to the weakened and dormant hair follicles provides the hair with an abundance of food for growth.

This alternating action of stripping out everything (including DHT, dead skin and sebum) from the scalp, followed by intense feeding and increased blood flow has an incredible effect on hair growth.

These first two alternating phases, coupled with the hair growth diet and increased blood flow to the scalp are important first steps. But you also need phase three: reducing DHT production in the body.

Can lost hair be grown back?

Monday, October 13th, 2008

“Can the hair that have fallen be grown back?”

Thanks for your question.

Yes. Hair sheds on a daily basis and this is natural. Noticeable ‘hair loss’ occurs when new hairs fail to replace the shed ones. Therefore our main objectives are:

  • to make sure shed hairs are replaced by new ones and
  • to prolong the length of the hairs natural growth phase.

By doing so you effectively stop hair loss.

Can you regrow lost hair?

Yes it is possible to grow your hair back after experiencing a period of noticeable hair loss. In order to do this you have to re-activate dormant hair follicles. However if the scalp becomes bald for a long period it may be the case that the hair follicles have completely died and are no-longer present. In such cases it is not possible to re-activate dormant hair follicles, as there are no-longer hair follicles present. Therefore it is important to re-activate the dormant hair follicles as soon as possible; before they die.
