Best way to turn vellus hairs terminal?

Slowmoe, I started a super strict no sugar, no gluten, no dairy diet about 3 1/2 months ago. Other than that, nothing.

I might be stressing about hair loss a little too much.

Don't worry about shedding, it is totally normal... and try to relax, go out, make some party, pick up some chicks, drink some alcohol! I'm not joking, this will help your mind and hair.

For regrowth: try to brush as hard as you can to cause little wounds (scratches), this will speed up your regrowth!

shedding is normal?

its a little bit harsh but stimulates the scalp intensly.

Another nice thing is listening to frequencies for growth hormone stimulation , u can actaully feel the scalp pump:

does this work? What growth hormones does this beat release? I guess its worth a try huh?

Since cold water closes blood vessels i wonder if this would be counterproductive, since the point of inversion is to get as much blood to the hair as possible.... Sounds like it would be better to do a cold water dunk after the inversion IMO....?

I believe cold narrows the larger veins while opening the capillaries for increased micro circulation, which is what you want when it comes to hair and skin.Dont freeze your head, but definitely expose it to cold temperature often like what would have been experienced by pre modern man who had no indoors or water heating. The main effect here we are looking for is calming micro inflammation through lower temp plus increased oxygenation, while stimulation of BAT due to the cold exposure... Nanas method sounds effective, but no need to over do it in coldness of water used.

How long would it take for the hairs to turn terminal? I just want to know if what I'm doing is working or not.

No, shedding is not normal.

it is almost always an inflammatory response...

Okay I see... Well good luck on all of that bro. Those hairs will eventually become terminal (mine are starting to now) they took a little while though. Just be patient. Oh, & I forgot to mention "inversion therapy" I heard it was pretty effective.

Inversion therapy can be very effective. Especially, if you carry your own body weight whole doing it... e.g. handstand pushups

I'd say shedding a few hairs every day is very normal. If you are shedding a shit ton, maybe not. You are constantly turning hair over. There are multiple thousands on your head. Shedding 50 or so hairs a day is totally normal. Even more depending on the individual and how fast their growth rate is. Its fine because in a perfect world there are new hairs there to replace them. When you begin to notice a problem is when that replacement is nowhere to be found. I wouldn't be worried about measuring the number of hairs you are shedding so much as I'd be worried about tracking the growth that is there. Most of the time you aren't going to be able to pinpoint where a particular hair fell from on the scalp anyway, so don't let it cause you unecessary stress unless you are getting unreasonable amounts of hair fall. If you get out of the shower and there are one hundred hairs on the shower floor, yeah something more pathological is happening. If not, just track the density of the hair on your head and forget the fly-aways. But I get better than anyone that when your worry is losing your hair how seeing the shed ones can be stressful, to say the least.
