the one thing that works is peppermint oil. Put a few drops of it in your conditioner, it's too strong to put on your scalp directly.

In mice peppermint oil improves the speed of hair growth significantly by putting the follicles into growth phase. It also increases the depth and size of the hair follicles, and stimulates expression of igf-1 (the chemical that growth hormone releases to cause growth). It promotes growth significantly better than minoxidil or jojoba oil.
Personally, I put a few drops of it in my hair conditioner, and add more if the smell of peppermint gets weak. You can't apply it to your scalp directly, it needs to be diluted or else it causes burning.

>HELP I'M GOING BALD WHAT DO I DO?
This thread again. You have 3 main options (and a bunch of laughable memes but I'll just leave those out):
>shave that shit
Hit the gym and razor or half guard that shit. Every day. This works best if you have some muscle mass/good jaw and neck. You will look like a gay alien if you don't.
>min/fin
These will work, but do all sorts of fucky shit to your body over time like make your dick stop working.
>PEO
Peppermint essential oil is an old world remedy for hair loss. Korean scientists recently ran a well constructed study on it with minoxidil for comparison. It worked better than minoxidil. Pic related.

>I'm too stupid to read the study what do I do anon?
Buy a few oz of PEO. Buy a few oz of tea tree oil. Buy a few oz of a carrier oil like jojoba or argon. Per oz of carrier oil put 30 vertical drops of PEO and 10 vertical drops of TTO. After your shower and dry your hair, but while it is still damp, massage this into your scalp/hair (around 10 drops does it for me with 2 inch hair. In your shampoo add 5 drops/oz. Make sure there isn't any weird shit in your shampoo too.

>What does this do anon?
This gives you about 3% PEO just like the study and 1% TTO. PEO helps regrow hair, and even thickens the follicles. PEO and TTO are also good for scalp health being antifungal/antibacterial. They also smell great, and this inadvertently cured my dandruff. The carrier oil is needed to dilute and you should be putting that in your hair anyway to replace the oil you shampoo out. It will also make your hair thick/shiny as FUCK.

There was a study that some people think was flawed in many ways that concluded that creatine raised DHT, which causes hair loss in people genetically predisposed to baldness. Lots of "ifs" in there that I looked into pretty heavily at one point. They were also dosing obscene amounts, 20g/day for an extended period. Jury is out on if creatine causes hair loss. That being said I stopped taking creatine for that reason, and it makes me feel bloated as fuck 24/7.

I'd avoid minox and fin and shit since they fuck with your hormones in all kinds of ways. They do work though if you are desperate. The jury is still out on dermarolling. Peppermint oil is no joke though, pic related. Here's the study (that you won't read) that backs up the very old use of peppermint essential oil (PEO) for hair loss/resto:

Don't worry anon, because I read this shit and made your a handy tl;dr guide for what to do:
>buy argon oil (or jojoba), peppermint essential oil, and tea tree oil
>buy a shampoo that doesn't suck and have a bunch of bullshit in it like sulphates, silicon, and paraben
>put 5 drops of PEO per oz of shampoo and shake that shit up. use the shampoo as you normally would but take some extra time massaging it into your scalp
>put 10 drops of tea tree oil and 20 drops of PEO per ounce of argon or jojoba oil to dilute. After your take a shower and dry your hair rub 10 drops of the loaded carrier oils into your scalp/hair/beard for a few minutes.
