Today I'll start topical msm like maybe 3tbsp of pure msm in 10oz of distilled water then spray 5 Oz in the morning, fridge the other 5 for the evening. Will microneedle at the start and every 10 days or so with 1.5mm. I'll report back any gains around a week
Below is the quote of the guy who used it topically. He is using 2-3 GRAMS
topically per week<gulp>
10 oz =300 ml = 300 grams;
15 grams into 300 grams distilled water = 5% solution he used on the low end.
MSM data:
Miscible in water(68 degrees fahrenheit)= 150 g/L or 15%
What people will miss in the post below {in blue} is.....just like I thought nothing of it either until finding the STA study by Poppyburner.
"This didn't happen until -------------
I started applying the MSM+distilled H20 mixture to the sides of
my head (where the gray hairs were) as well"
MSM appears to be a vasodilator also which makes sense. Could MSM be dilating the superior temporal artery(also called superficial temporal artery) providing extra blood flow to the scalp? Dilating an artery like the STA is a whole different animal than dilating a capillary.
BTW, many report migraines when first starting MSM which is what some studies say happen with different treatments done on the STA BECAUSE of the vasodilation.
MSM is a NLRP3 inhibitor and their effect on inflammation is what is responsible for the vasodilation:
The increase of blood pressure is accompanied by the changes in the morphology and function of vascular endothelial cells. Vascular endothelial injury and hy...

This links to post #12 but start up at post #10
So.....BY ALL MEANS apply some MSM to the sides of your head where the STA passes by.

scroll down about 1/2 the page to find the STA and where it distributes on the scalp:
The head and neck receives the majority of its blood supply through the carotid and vertebral arteries. This article shall explore the arterial supply to these areas.

I've been drenching my scalp w/ MSM only for the past year. No DMSO,
no arginine, no minoxidil, etc. I'm 35, and my hair is now better
than it was at 21. I had a visible bald spot by 24, and now there's
no spot whatsoever--in fact, you can't even see the part line. I'm
growing it out for the first time in a decade, b/c in the past it
would look like sh*t if I tried to grow it long, and now it grows long
and thick. I even have to put pommade in it now to control it, and it
looks great with the wet look. Additionally, my gray hairs have
virtually vanished, similar to Oz's experience. This didn't happen
until I started applying the MSM+distilled H20 mixture to the sides of
my head (where the gray hairs were) as well. Recently, countless
people have asked me if I'm dying my hair dark.
Periodically, I apply a MSM+DMSO mixture to my face, and my skin has
become soft and virtually wrinkle-free. The reason I don't use DMSO
on my scalp is b/c my hair texture became greasy.
I take oral arginine on and off, 2-6 g/day, but I've been doing this
for five years, and all my results have occurred in the past few
months.
I also have used topical spironolactone (both % concentrations) on and off, but
I've been doing this for 3 yrs., and again, all my results have been
post-MSM.
The MSM for me is more than a temporary thickener. If I go w/o it for
a few days, there's no change.
So . . . for those of you who don't want to use DMSO for any reason
(e.g., the poster who has suffered terrible eye problems), I would
recommend trying massive amounts of MSM only for a few months. (I
saturate a water bottle with the powder, and soak my head with it
night and morning). For all others who have had great success w/ the
brew . . . carry on."

someone asked about his mixture: "Could you please advise approximately how many ounces or grams of MSM and how many grams of DMSO in your mixture?"
and he replied "In a 10 oz. bottle I usually put about 15-20 gms of MSM. I go through about a bottle per week."
