research 333 Poor perifollicular vascularization is associated with nutrient insufficiency and a quiescent metabolic phenotype in intermediate hair follicles from patients with female pattern hair loss
Poor blood supply in hair follicles is linked to nutrient deficiency in patients with female pattern hair loss, and adding more nutrients could potentially fix this.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Could low blood flow to the head cause an increased rate of thinning?
The user started using finasteride, minoxidil, and biotin for male pattern baldness (MPB) and is experiencing rapid thinning. They are questioning if low blood flow to the head could be contributing to their hair loss.
community The theory that explains everything. The malloclusion theory has been proven.
Brian Dye's theory links skeletal malocclusion type II to hair loss, suggesting it's a blood flow issue. Treatments mentioned include minoxidil, finasteride, and anti-inflammatory drugs like benaxoprofen.
community Just quit nicotine and caffeine
The user has been using finasteride and oral minoxidil for hair loss but hasn't seen improvement and is quitting nicotine and caffeine to see if it helps. Some believe quitting nicotine improved their hair health due to better blood flow, while others are skeptical about the impact of blood flow on hair loss.
community A Different Take on Curing MBP
Addressing hair loss by focusing on posture, blood flow, and craniofacial development. Methods include improving posture, cardiovascular activity, scalp massages, healthy diet, meditation, using minoxidil, and addressing craniofacial issues.
community A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications
The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
