00:00:00 - 00:25:00

This video discusses how hair loss can be caused by various factors, including genetics, testosterone levels, and chronic inflammation. Botox injections may help to improve hair growth, but more research is needed. The video also discusses how massages can be effective in improving hair growth over time.

• 00:00:00 In this video, Rob English, an editor and researcher specializing in hair loss, discusses his hypothesis that hair loss is caused by a combination of elevated levels of testosterone and other factors. He explains that this model has been published in a peer-reviewed journal and has been accepted into an academic journal.
• 00:05:00 The video discusses how hair follicle miniaturization, which leads to hair loss, is caused by hair cycles and by tension in the scalp muscles. The video also discusses how chronic inflammation might be a contributing factor.
• 00:10:00 The video discusses the theory that hair loss is caused by persistent levels of DHT, which in turn leads to the laying down of scar tissue and may partly drive the miniaturization process. Botox injections have been found to be effective at stopping or improving hair loss in a majority of individuals, with some even seeing improvements in hair count. These findings suggest that targeting scalp tension might not be the only way to treat hair loss, and that other environmental factors may be involved.
• 00:15:00 This video discusses how hair loss may be caused by various factors, including genetics and testosterone levels. Botox injections may help to increase hair growth, but more research is needed.
• 00:20:00 This video discusses how hair loss can be caused by lower blood and oxygen levels, and how scalp massages and microneedling can help to improve hair growth. Nordvpn, a sponsor of this video, offers a huge discount on their plans to people who sign up at nordvpn.com/what-i-'ve-learned.
• 00:25:00 The video discusses survey-based studies that show that massages can be effective in improving hair growth over time. It also discusses the potential mechanisms of action for the massage, which include the relaxation of scalp perimeter muscles and the generation of acute inflammation. The video then provides information about a specific massage technique that has been shown to be effective in hair growth.
