Alright, I’ll tell you what I think would be the most straightforward way to do this, but there will be side effects.
Day one, depilate balding areas with nair or tweeze them, wait three days.
Day four, abrade the scalp in several seperate half-inch semi-circle "wounds" with sandpaper leaving small amounts of unabraded skin between them, removing the upper epidermis, stop shampooing or even wetting your head at this time.
Day 7, start taking cyclosporin and dutasteride internally, as per the instructions on the pills.
Day 7 or 8, when the skin has crusted and the crusts are beginning to really fall off...........start taking getfitinib internally
Day 9 through 11....keep taking cyclo, getfitinib, loniten (internal minoxidil tablets), and dutasteride
Day 12.....if you abraded right, you should be able to drop everything at this point. You might very gently begin to wash your hair again with a very mild shampoo for a few days----before returning to harsher shampoos.
If that didn’t work, then we’d have no hope whatsoever of it working at home for anyone. It eliminates all the variables. No topicals are used at all. During the experiment, it would be very prudent to cut out any drinking of teas or eating of apples or onions after day three post wounding because they contain quercetin, which inhibits wnt. It would be prudent not to eat any curcumoids post day three after wounding either. Thats every variable I could think of.
Thats a good five days of cyclosporin, getfitinib, and six days of dutasteride, and about three days of loniten. If you wounded deep enough but not too deep…you should get hair. One might get on the cyclo even one day earlier to make sure the immune system was really down during the re-epilithialization period. One would have to plan to be indoors (in a very clean house) during this time. It would be best not to even be outdoors or even getting hot and sweaty much.
Thats a lot to ask someone to do though. However, we dont know how various topicals might be sticking our fingers in the process. The epidermal stem cells that will build these hair cells might get interdicted by various carriers and excipients. Follica doesn’t even know all of that yet. Thats why this method is certainly going to take some testing on their part. The only way to eliminate those variables (unfortunately) would be to take the adjuvants internally or to inject them (like the experiments did). However the injections used synthetic drugs that we dont even possess and cannot buy. If you didn’t see hair sprouting in a month after this…you’d pretty much know that there is no way to do it at home. I think this would work if performed correctly because of the two getfitinib cancer patients (who had been through chemotherapy) who did have freak terminal dark hair growth----one even on the nose.
I think very few people would be willing to go through all of that though, and henceforth are probably better to wait and see if baccy has luck or to just wait for follica’s product to hit the market or Aderans product to be fully tested in phase 2 here. Im very confident we are near the end of the time that science cannot “make” more head hair for people. But in order for that to be on the “market” it will have to be tested and approved.
