If I’m Completely Bald, Do I Still Have Follicles?
Im completely bald! I have heard that Curis can stimulate the transition of hair follicles from the resting to the growth stage of the hair cycle.
(line picked up from a proper source). Does this mean it can help grow hair on my bald scalp too?My question may be silly, but if im completely bald….do i have follicles on my head?
I’ve written briefly about Curis previously.
There are many steps that initiate hair growth in a hair cycle. I have heard that some people believe that there are 200 separate steps. If any one step is impacted by some disease or genetic balding process, the hair may not grow. This suggests that the elements of the hair are present even in the very bald person and there is much research going on to identify each step in the hair growing process and the critical proteins or genes that are needed to fix the process when it goes wrong.
Simply put, the answer to your question is a probable yes. How to get the hair to grow is another process completely. The good news is that there are many people and research groups working on the problem, but at this time there is no answer to each and every defect that has been identified, even in the experimental mouse trials that are being most used.
