Possible Follica Gotcha's (Hair Multiplication & Research)

DHT resistance:

I think it's worth noting that the real-world cases of this don't seem to be ruined by DHT right off.

I mean the real-world cases of guys sprouting patches of thick new hair on bald heads after scalp injuries. It might happen over a long period of years, but those hair regrowth stories in general usually go, "His hair regrew on that spot and it's still there today!" They stories don't usually go, "His hair regrew on that spot for 3 years but it fell out again." It's a small point, but I think a very important one.


And also, it's well known that a hair follicle has to pass a certain "tipping point" before it has been exposed to enough DHT to start the real snowballing damage process. (I think there have been cases studied where if a DHT-lacking male's follicles were not exposed to DHT during puberty, then MPB doesn't happen even if the male gets exposed to adult levels of DHT later on.) So if we kept a reasonable amount of DHT shielding for the new Follica'd hairs with various anti-androgens, then possibly the new hairs might not pass that "tipping point" of exposure for a long, long time. If ever.
