Hair loss may be caused by calcification of capillaries in the scalp, restricting blood flow to hairfollicles. A daily treatment regimen including high doses of Vitamins D and K, Magnesium, and Nattokinase could potentially decalcify these capillaries, improving blood flow and hair growth. However, some users warn against excessive Vitamin D intake and emphasize the need for medical consultation.
Hair loss treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride will still be used even if a cure is found. Hair transplants will continue as cloning new hairfollicles will be part of the process.
