It is possible to grow completely new hair follicles in your scalp. It’s called ‘hair follicle neogenesis’ and it’s been achieved in several studies. This article will explain how it’s been done and how you can do it at home…
Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) is a growth factor that’s been shown to increase hair growth when the growth factor is increased in the scalp. In this article, I explain how you can increase IGF-1 in your scalp in order to increase hair growth.
According to several different studies, ‘Substance P’ acts as a growth factor in the hair follicles. One researcher has even stated that Substance P induces the hair follicles to transition from resting phase to growth phase!
Studies have shown that it’s possible to generate new hair follicles in the scalp — making the hair thicker — by applying the below ‘growth factors’ to the scalp and using a technique called wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis, that can be easily performed at home without any need for medical procedures. Here’s how to do it…
The keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) was shown in one study to protect hair follicles that were exposed to radiation therapy. The research was conducted with the aim of reducing hair loss in cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy. Here’s a short abstract from the study results: Results indicated approximately 10 extra hairs per mm2 (14.5% of […]
Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) is a growth factor that’s been shown to increase hair growth when the growth factor is increased in the scalp. In this article, I explain how you can increase IGF-1 in your scalp in order to increase hair growth.
VEGF is a “growth factor”, which has been shown to increase hair growth. Scalps with more VEGF grow more hair. Therefore by increasing VEGF using the method below, we can increase scalp hair growth.
Safflower extract has been shown in at least one study to significantly increase the growth factors VEGF and keratinocyte, both of which play a key role in increasing hair growth.
Topically applied pea sprout extract has been shown in one study to increase the growth factor FGF7, which has been shown in research to increase the growth phase of hair follicles.
FGF7 is a growth factor which has been found in the dermal papilla and is upregulated during the growth phase of the follicle. This signifies that increasing FGF7 in the hair follicle may help increase the growth phase of the hair follicle.
In a study PGF2alpha was shown to stimulate hair growth and stimulate the conversion of hair follicles from the resting phase to growth phase — essentially making hair grow. Here’s how to increase PGF2alpha in your scalp to increase hair growth…
Topically applied velvet deer antler has been shown to increase hair growth via wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis, due to increased growth factor IGF-1, making velvet deer antler an extremely cheap and extremely effective natural hair loss treatment.
It’s proposed that EGF may be a ‘biological switch for hair growth’. This may be a serious breakthrough in the science of making new hair grow in bald scalps.
Peppermint oil, when applied to the scalp, may be a relatively effective and extremely cheap treatment for male pattern baldness (MPB). This is probably to do with its anti-inflammatory properties. But I didn’t expect to see results like these…
The chemical adenosine has been shown to lengthen the growth phase of the hair follicles. It may do this by improving blood circulation in the scalp, enabling a greater supply of nutrients to flow to the hair.
Sandalore is a perfume chemical designed to smell like Sandalwood. Amazingly though, researchers have discovered that the chemical binds to receptors in the scalp, causing the hair growth phase length to increase and an increase in IGF-1 secretion, leading to increased hair growth.
Topical capsaicin increases scalp IGF-1 by activating the vanilloid receptor 1, which causes the sensory neurons to release the calcitonin gene-related peptide, resulting in increase IGF-1. IGF-1 is a growth factor that increases hair growth.
