Re: are dandruff and androgenic alopecia related?
I wish you would read this article about Environmental Sensitivities. Many people who post messages on this forum have problems similar to yours. Some people are more sensitive to environmental factors and these factors, in turn, can have a negative effect on the hair. It's a challenge for people wh...

Re: Can I do the scalp exercise too much?
You asked, "can you actually do too much of these excercices?" There is no way to tell how much is too much. In fact, I don't think you have to worry about doing the scalp exercise too much. When I first gained control of the scalp muscles, I did it over an hour each day. But I don't think...

Re: Long term scalp exerciser
You said, "I hope the part about not requiring full contractions made sense as I feel it is important." You are obviously getting positive results from doing the scalp exercise without the full contraction of the scalp muscles. But for people just starting with the exercise, I recommend a ...

Re: are dandruff and androgenic alopecia related?
The following is an article from Livestrong.com with some comments I'll make after the quotation. Definition Dandruff is a condition in which excess skin flakes appear on the scalp. Though the body sheds skin cells regularly, normally the cells are too small to be easily seen. Dandruff causes the sh...

Re: Hair loss persisting during recovery from chronic anorexia
You have multiple triggers for telogen effluvium - prolonged psychological stress, weight loss, and bereavement. If these situations are now under control, your hair may rebound slowly, especially if you have a nutritious diet. But anorexia nervosa is a serious psychological problem, not so easy to ...

Re: Gut Microbiota
The first Wikipedia page you linked to gives a lot of information about male and female pattern hair loss - its causes, medications, and prognosis. It's a big article. The second shorter article from The Scientist is more focused on the metabolic syndrome and the effect that the standard American di...

Re: A question regarding shedding
Are you aware of SE very having triggered a shed or inflammation of the scalp through chronic exercise? You wrote that you started the scalp exercise about four months ago. In the frontal hairline you attribute the scalp exercise as promoting the growth of new dark hair, but a serious shed of hair ...

Re: My hair health program (with regular updates)
a clear change I noticed in my hair. First, a bit of definition. It's from Philip Kingsley's website . HAIR SHAFT Your hair shaft is the part of your hair that can be seen above your scalp. It’s made of a protein called keratin, compacted and cemented together. Keratin is a remarkably strong prot...

Re: Strange tickling when contracting occipitalis but ONLY when hair had been wet a moment before (what?)
I don't get that tickling or tingling sensation after I take a shower or an hour after the shower. I often do the basic scalp exercise when my hair is wet though - but no tingle. I never do the advanced exercise after a shower. I've read many times that the hair shaft is vulnerable when the scalp is...
