So this is why I had a DIY hair growth ‘recipe’ in my feed. Just rub sugar on your head! It’s so simple!

It’s nice to see the study that actually led to that mess.

Where do I buy deoxyribose sugar? Can I just use sugar from the supermarket?

DoctorButts ,

Yeah man. Just rub sugar water all over your scalp.

It must be right because they got doctor in their name!

I have treated my scalp with simple syrup as instructed. Does the new hair stick to it or what?

Monument ,

Not exactly.
You’re supposed to apply the treatment and expose your scalp to low-angle sunlight that’s slightly mottled. Something about the incident angle of the light rays paired with the low intensity (due to the dappling) just supercharge the hair growth process.

Experts recommend applying the mixture to your scalp an hour or two before sunset, and going for a walk through a wooded area. You should begin to see results immediately.
The hair will grow in very fast during your walk with a large central cluster that may appear to be a black speck or oblong shape. It will sprout with 6 to 8 longer hairs that may appear to be segmented, and may even move with the lightest breeze or touch. This is normal. It’s common to feel a pinching, itching, or even burning sensation with each hair cluster that appears on your head. If new hair clusters stop appearing while outside, please reapply the sugar-water mixture to your scalp.

It’s not recommended to shower after returning from the forest. This may wash away the delicate new hair clusters before they can root. You should also avoid this in the early morning, as the hair that grows under early morning light is silver and very fine. For some reason this very fine hair has a tendency to grow on your face, even if you have not applied the solution there.

Instructions unclear, I poured caramel on my head, now I am bold bald as a billiard ball!

Sorry, I meant bald. Please, excuse my dyslexic-idiot-self.

Deoxyribose is the ‘D’ in DNA. Just use the blood of your enemies.

Why not just use cum?

Beryl , (edited )

As long as it’s the sperm of your enemies that’s fine by be. Might take a bit longer to harvest though.

It hasnt even been tested on humans yet. Lame hype article.

Let’s hope our DNA is not made up of HFCS. 😂

Drugs for male vanity are “under-researched”?

That seems unlikely.

@dohpaz42@lemmy.world avatar

I used to feel we waste a lot of effort on these vanity type research; baldness, erectile dysfunction, etc. But now that I’m older, and dealing with other mental health issues, I can appreciate the value that these medicines may have for a lot of men (and women) for their mental health wellness.

Ive had male pattern baldness since I was in my early twenties. I got ahead of it by shaving my head. It’s worked well for me as a good look. And I love not having to deal with the hassle of “bad hair days”. But, I’ll be honest, if I had an opportunity to grow my hair back, I probably would. It’s a confidence thing. Confidence can also help boost self-esteem and positive self-image. I’m sure the same thing can be said for ED. Men deserve some positive self-image. 💙

homesweethomeMrL ,

I hear ya. But men get all the research anyway. Hey if this turns out to be a thing, great. I just have to think in the country with Hair Club For Men there’s been more than a little money thrown at pattern baldness so the comment that it was “under-researched” seemed pretty far-fetched.

Ever see a men’s makeup department?

Makeup is a topical drug that makes women feel better about themselves.

Solumbran ,

What the fuck

Ceedoestrees ,

Weirdly worded, but when I repeated this to myself with a positive tone - it’s kinda true. Makeup can make you feel better about yourself. Feelings are valid. Everyone deserves to feel better about themselves.

dohpaz42 ,
@dohpaz42@lemmy.world avatar

Are you referring to how some woman treat makeup as an addiction, similar to how there are people addicted to playing the lottery?

Or do you mean it in a way to suggest that makeup contains chemicals like narcotics that alter the person’s perception of reality (and I’m not referring to covering up blemishes for smoother skin)?

Ceedoestrees ,

Women face baldness as well, it’s less common but hair is seen as such a feminine trait I bet it’s devastating to go through that.

homesweethomeMrL ,

Agreed, if it actually comes to fruition, great.

ramirezmike ,

the article says “The deoxyribose gel was so effective, researchers found it worked just as well as minoxidil”

minoxidil isn’t that effective to begin with. It even points that out later in the article.

This is interesting but I’m not optimistic.
