Beta Sitosterol — Eight Months In
On the Beta Sitosterol front, I have just started my third jar of the stuff. That means I've been popping the pills for over 8 months. I've just taken snap shots of my noggin (that's UK slang for head). The before and after pictures are hard to compare in detail, so it's tricky to tell exactly what has happened. Not to mention my before shots are kind of crappy. Sadly no massive regrowth on my thinning crown. However, it does seem that hair loss has halted. I'm no worse or better than before, which isn't bad thing. Whether this is down to the Beta Sis or just coincidence I have no idea. It's taken WidowsPeak three years to see good all round growth, so I'll probably stick out for another year or so, whilst monitoring progress. I've treated myself to a snazzy new camera, so in future I may ... Read the Rest of This Article >>
Hair Regrowth with Beta Sitosterol: Interview with WidowsPeak
Here it is, what you've all been waiting for, the interview with WidowsPeak. If you haven't heard of this fella, he's experienced remarkable hair re-growth from primarily using beta sitosterol. Without further a do... How do you think beta-sitoserol has helped you to regrow your hair? I believe that beta-sis works by blocking the binding of 5ar to testosterone to make DHT. This process still happens, so the body gets some DHT (which it needs), but not enough to kill hair follicles. This allows the hair to regrow. How long was it before you started seeing significant regrowth? I started to see hairs regrowing within a few weeks of taking beta-sis. It took about 6 months before I could see that I had hair regrowing about 1/2 inch below where my hairline was. Many of the hairs had no pigmentation, so I dyed them black and was able to capture hair regrowing about ... Read the Rest of This Article >>
Growing my Hair Experiment with Beta Sitosterol - Update 2
Just a quick update about my hair growing adventures with beta sitosterol. I've been on the supplement for nearly a month and a half. I think, but have no clear "data", that my hair shedding has definately decreased. But the most interesting thing is my scalp is itching -- no, I haven't got headlice -- this is exactly what I've been waiting for. As WidowsPeak recently told me... The first thing that I noticed when I first started takinig beta-sis was that my scalp got oilier within the 1st month. This dissipated and then I noticed an itching in the areas where I got regrowth, so if you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's a good sign. Apparently the itching is caused by tiny baby hairs called velous hairs starting to grow, with follicles that were once dieing off slowly coming back to life. To me this is very good news, ...

Drink Up or Go Bald
So many people search for the magic bullet of hair loss prevention, yet many are not looking at the basics of good health. I've said it before and I'll say it again... a healthy body means healthy hair, or at the very least you are giving your hair a better chance of survival. And incase you hadn't realised water is one of the most essential nutrients your body requires. Every single cell in your body needs water to function. Water also helps shift amino acids, vitamins, minerals and a whole bunch of other nutrients around the body and aids in their use. Yep, all those things that are needed for hair growth and maintainence. And that's only scratching the surface. Put simply, if you aren't getting adequate water then you are hampering your health and in turn your hair. Sixty four ounces (roughly eight glasses) is the recommended amount of daily ...
