Transcripts

so genetically I should be bald I

started to lose my hair and go gray in

my late 20s I'm Now 46 it's been a lot

of hard work to keep the hair I have

today I'm going to walk you through my

protocol what I do on a daily weekly and

monthly basis I'm also going to share

with you some special tips on how we've

reversed my gray hair preliminary

results but we're encouraged now it's

important to note that the best time to

work on your hair is before you start

losing it a lot of people wait until

they start seeing a lot of shedding

don't wait start doing hair care

immediately now if you're in your early

20s mid 20s good time to start taking

note that it's important otherwise it's

harder to catch it when you're already

done that

path first thing I do in the morning

every day is I wear this red light

therapy cap it has 32 laser diodes you

put on the head you turn it on it's

battery powered and so I can walk about

and do my morning routine without having

to sit down it increases uh blood flow

and also stimulates hair follicle

activity the studies on this are are

pretty good it's not the most powerful

treatment we do but still it's part of

the stack and so all these little things

add up so every day 6

minutes all right the next thing I do is

I apply this topical to my scalp on a

daily basis you've probably heard of it

of topicals like Rogan and minoxidil 5%

both are effective we added a bunch of

other goodies to our topical formulation

we found it in the evidence and then we

had a a local compounded Pharmacy make

it for us so we've published this recipe

and you can take that recipe share it

with the compound of Pharmacy and have

them make it for you kind of a hassle I

know but it's the only way to get it

done you can also go to uh groups that

sell these for these formulations they

may not have all the things we've listed

but if they've got you know the basics

like Med oxidil uh then cool but we

really tried to create the most powerful

hair formulation and that's what we have

so hopefully it's helpful for you at

least to know the things we're trying to

play with on the topical I apply it once

a day you you can apply it twice a day

morning and evening so really your

preference and the one thing we do to

enhance the benefits of the topicals

this and others is we do micro needling

uh we've been not consistent with this

so we did it for a while and then we did

so many things in the blueprint protocol

it kind of got pushed out so we think

it's efficacious we think it's also a

good thing uh we are also a little

worried because I was doing uh so many

things for my hair I was doing PRP and

Micron needling and we were a bit

worried that I was causing too much

trauma to my scalp so just a note that I

do sometimes pair Micron needling with

the topical then also there's just some

basic stuff like uh being careful with

your hair you know not combing too hard

not pulling really hard the follicles

it's delicate uh so just being mindful

about that uh not having hair pulling

fights you know that's not a good thing

for hair

care we're always pushing for something

new and more powerful and so this is

what's worked today we've gone through

the basics let me show you what I'm

doing for gray hair reversal let's go as

I mentioned before I started going gray

when I was in my late 20s uh right here

initially it was kind of a crazy time in

my life I was building brain fre VMO I

had three little babies I was in a

challenging relationship trying to leave

my born into religion a lot going on

also I was really depressed and so I

started going gray by my mid to late 30s

I was basically all gray and so

blueprint we have been trying to reverse

it and we've tried a lot of things the

first year of this effort we were

largely unsuccessful over the past uh

year we've been successful now many

people have said I dye my hair I

actually don't uh going to the salon

using a chemical process I did that

before in my 30s I haven't done that for

the past year or so so I'm going to show

you the two formulations I use one of

them has an herbal extract which has a

color and that's what you see in my hair

but what's compelling to me again is we

biopsy my hair we looked at under the

microscope and we see that the hair the

color is being produced beneath the

scalp so it's actually working so let me

show you the two things we use one is a

gr7 this is a company in the UK that

makes this this is applied I do this uh

three or four times a week in addition

to gr7 is uh my Rocky this is the one

that has the herbal extract that has

some color as part of the formulation I

use these in tandem so I apply the gr7 a

few times a week this maybe once or

twice a week and again if you look at my

follicles underneath the microscope I've

increased the production of of color in

my hair so we like it's going uh gray

hair reversals very hard uh it takes a

lot of effort just like maintaining your

hair uh when you're going bald so in

summary if you're losing your hair first

I feel you it's psychologically

stressful it's complicated it's tough uh

also if you are trying to do something

about your hair and everything I'm

talking about seems overwhelming you can

start with the basic this hair

formulation just 5% minoxidil Rogan is a

really good place to start you can get

them at uh any number of places they

sell it you don't need the longer

formulation that I have you can do the

simple one and that will really help you

get started now if you want to add other

things like red light therapy uh PRP

micro needling um these more advanced

things surely and I'm going to be

reporting back to we just started a new

therapy using exosomes so actually we're

using tixel uh which is a skincare uh

system and also uh exosomes so we open

up the channels and the hair and the in

the scalp and we put the exosome so

we're going to see the efficacy of that

it'll probably take a few months for us

to get results but uh overall I hope

this is helpful for you and I hope that

it helps you gain ground on slowing the

loss of hair and maybe even restoring

some that has been

lost
