Okay. I see that it is another sulfur-related compound like cysteine and well, sulfur, itself but that it might have a different chemical form that allows it to form bonds promoting hair and faster growth but it appears that you have to mix it yourself from powder. I am tempted but at some point our treatments probably become superfluous and I am not sure I can fit anything else in with all of the meds and the derma-rolling. I do drink caffeine which is supposed to increase growth rate minimally according to Perfect Hair Health and maybe a shampoo would help but I already have my Keto 2 percent that I use sparingly and my aspirin-based dandruff shampoo, both of which wreck my hair by stripping it of essential oils. I barely have to shampoo any longer and the estrogel actually seems to clean the hair, perhaps due to its alcohol content.
At what point does this become a hobby versus a life style choice versus an obsession? I think that all of us need to mind that line as best as possible as it can become easy to want to try everything. Just look at all of the things that people list on GourmetStyleWellness such as onion juice and cayenne pepper and caffeine and zinc and it goes on and on and sadly, no one ever posts any pictures except on the hormonal sites. I think that after 5000 years of recorded history that we would know if onion juice cured baldness by now. That's why I doubt that help is on the way for cis-males that do not involve hormonal solutions like finasteride or dutasteride. The cure has to be developed; it isn't likely to already be "out there" on the health food store shelves, except for polysorbate 80 which I still think to be quite helpful with inflammation. We sort of know how to deal with inflammation and yeast overruns resulting in dermatitis but changing what is happening with the derma papillaries is currently beyond us except in terms of halting the hair loss process temporarily.
I just hate how slow hair growth is, after shaving my head a year ago after a mental breakdown, it’s taking forever to grow out. And then during quarantine, I tried trimming the dead ends from my hair and ruined it more! After getting it ‘fixed’ by the hairdresser, she gave me a lob-sided middle part... This year has been a mixture of great and awful. I am hoping MSM and Vitamin C makes my hair grow faster. I will continue praying to God and keeping my faith up.
I have been lucky to be patient with trying treatments, I never bothered trying different treatments and instead gave treatments time to see if they worked. I‘m happy with my current regimen, but my hairline is bothering me, I may end up trying topical minoxidil on the hairline or opting for a minor hair transplant.
