RANDOM NOTES, SCRIBBLES, AND ILLUSTRATIONS...
At the time of this writing, I have about 7 notebooks that guided me on my discovery of self as far as male pattern balding reversal. I decided some of you may be interested in getting a behind the scenes look at some of my early thoughts on the matter. Many turned out to be true, while others were scrapped and replaced.
First Crack at the "Alpha Scalp vs Omega Scalp"
Weeks prior I was theorizing on scalp conditions of men vs women and eventually this theory began to solidify which changed the trajectory of my products and regimen totally.
Omega Scalp Pic- Full Hair and No Recession
The Alpha scalp is masculine (rigid, dense, dry, and not supple) and the Omega scalp is feminine. It is full, thick, and hair grows on forehead almost touching eyebrows.
Aromatase...The twin of DHT or Suppressor?
II figured that there had to be an opposite of DHT was that estrogen? Not quite. Then I came across Aromatase and studied on it for weeks. You can see Oxidative stress and how or what vitmains combat it as well here.
The Scalp-Stomach Gut Connection
Here I was jotting down the cleanliness needed for follicle environments while emphasizing that follicles hibernate and seem to be pretty similar to stomach villi connecting it to biome as well.
One Can Only Dream and Manifest - AQBS
A reminder that the sky is the limit and you can accomplish anything that you put your mind too. Male pattern balding is a blip in your road to success if that. If I can do it, you can do it gents.
What is the Main Culprit of Balding Percentages?
My thoughts at this time was mostly DHT, then circulation, then calcification (fibrosis), to inflammation with scalp fat last... Not much has changed... Later I would discover biome and signaling.
When I discovered the temporalis/Occupit was the secret enemy of hair regrowth.
A few clues and experiences led me to believe DHT was holding up in the sides of the hair and choking out the Gallea secretly.
Early rough drafts of the Six Re's of Restoration
I was beginning to understand how to segment the approach of restoration via the factors leading to balding in an organized fashion. It took about 9 versions for me to accept that it was near accurate for restoration. At the time of this writing, I am contemplating adding or adjusting based on new data.
My Hair Regrowth Prediction (Came True)
I said something to the effect of exhausted Androgen system and at 12 months, my scalp looked like my prediction. Ugly but promising.
First Dermis Rebuilder Product Kit
Trying to figure out how to market Dermis Rebuilder and found ACV would be better than using H20.
Is Balding Final Form or An Immune Response
I was trying to create a short explanation of balding in laymen's terms. I still believe it is an auto-immune disease and omen of greater issues while acting as if its accerelated scalp aging.
Super Hairs Were Growing Out of Creases
These scalp creases came about with over massaging and attempting to break the scalp. Any hairs near or in the creases that were over stimulated grew wildly. This pushed me to view breaking the scalp as a sure fire way to restart scalp conditions.
Targeted Restoration Equations
Once I created the concept of TRE's, then I began to try to apply it practically to other people hair loss regimen. Is a TRE equal to a severity level via Norwood or is it based on appearance via square inch?
Hair Grows in Waves or Ebbs and Flows
I was trying to figure out if it had anything to do with the crown whorl or swirl on scalps but did not find that to be true. However, regrowth does not seem to grow steady. It seems to rest, reenergize, then grow rapidly for days then halts again.
How the Types of Hairs Become Full Terminals
I found that there was 3 type of villus hairs on top of 4-5 hairs in each follicle and thickness differences. Hair was not as simple as I had thought,
The Beginnings of Scalp Conditions Quote
I knew it was about scalp conditions at this time. They needed to be reversed if all possible to pre-MPB but not just reversed, also sustained over time.
Types of Hair Regrowth Stages and Prediction
The percentages of the 5 types of hairs that you will find on your head. Super Responders, Early Adopters, Mass Population hairs, Late Adopters, and Non-responsive, Over time I changed the names and percentages. Mass? 80%.
My Observation that Follicles Were 3d Hair Printers
It made sense that the printer needed raw materials (scalp fat), electricity, a program or instructions and in working condition. Those little piranha fish things are representing DHT attacking follicles.
Trying to Connect the Dermal Papilla to Scalp Fat
I did not like nor could I agree with the blood vessels from the body being directly connected to the dermal papilla because of hair transplants,
Dermal Papilla Seems To Extract From Environment
Trying to figure out what layer of the scalp I should be healing from a circulation standpoint and why with the hypodermis seeming to be at the top of the list.
The Sides of the Scalp Was the Enigma
They were not on the Gallea and amongst hairs with "DHT resistance" from mainstream thought. Was it tension, DHT, and or fibrosis or all? Either they are resistant (I don't like that theory) or there is some type of protection which I deem is the muscles on the side of the head or circulation. Transferred hairs from the sides also experience balding once moved to the Gallea if scalp conditions are not met.
A Tree -Very Simplified Approach to Balding
The root - Biome or bacteria start the process of imbalance in gut, and eventually move to the scalp and overwhelm system. Scalp conditions threaten health and DHT and body immune system responds. Follicle health impacted as circulation purposely cut off from follicles while inter-dermal signaling closes things down to save the organs from true death. Hair falls like leaves in "fall"
Laying out the Norwood-Doowron Scale
Simplied version of the Norwood-Doowron opposing Alpha-Omega scales that help us to understand that rebalancing the scalp is a part of scalp conditions being met. They key to reversal is getting to the zero point or the Threshold between Omega and Alpha conditions.
The Dermal Papilla is the Issue
At this point, I realized that it was not "circulation" as far as general area but the DP being starved of resources and needing to be rebuilt, reinitialized, and healed. I had suspected this prior to this but here I said- I have to accept it. The dermal papilla is the focal point for regrowth not the follicle pocket.
How the Villus Hairs Were Growing Back and Follicle Observations
The villus hairs were indeed stages of terminal but most of them will not mutate to terminal but fall out and push back through. That took 8 months or more to discover. Also, the follicles structure changed as the hairs matured.
Depths of Dermroller, Dermastamp, Cupping
I had to make sure that I was touching or affecting each scalp layer to be affective in reconditioning the scalp to pre-bald environments. I even had a wooden kneading kit but it turned out not to be a good fit (until I remake it) for MPB. Each tool and solution affects a specific aspect of balding. The dermis, epidermis and the hypodermis are all affected differently.
There is No Curing Balding - You Are repairing A War Torn City (Scalp)
Balding is the effect of a complex set of causes stemming from one major cause of five different or potential inception points. The biome is one of five that I focus on more because I believe its the major factor in western society. The war between biome, follicles, DHT, and the body's immune system creates balding.
What Comes First- The Chicken or the Egg?
Did the gut issue create the scalp issue? Or were both caused by an immune response of the body? Did the biome take advantage of the leaky gut? This has been and still is my question. Whatever is happening is acute and chronic and has to be non-stop because hair literally stops being produced naturally. My suspicions is - the biome or a bacterial/yeast infection is the start. Thus, look to the gut.
