Through a thread on X, Mr Johnson unveiled his comprehensive regimen for preventing hair loss and maintaining lush, healthy locks. Despite being expected to be bald by now, he credited nutritional, topical, and light treatments for his remarkable transformation. The millionaire also encouraged men to act early and take proactive steps to preserve their hair, insisting it's possible to maintain a full head of hair "well into your 40s and beyond."
First Step: The millionaire has said the first step is to start early. "Don’t wait for visible loss. Many lose up to 50% of their hair before they even realize it. The best time to work on your hair is before you start losing it," said the millionaire in his X thread.
Second step: The techie has then talked about Nutrition. "Make sure you're getting adequate: + Protein: including collagen peptides and sufficient methionine, cyteine, and lysine in addition to taurine, to support collagen, keratin, and elastin synthesis. Ref (3) + Omega-3 fatty acids: for antioxidant effects and improving scalp circulation. Ref (4) + Key vitamins & minerals: including iron, selenium, and biotin," said Bryan in his post.
Third step: Customized topicals: Bryan has claimed to have used a personalized Rx formula based on his genetics to prevent and reverse hair loss. "Roots byGA (5) Here are the ingredients in my formulation: Minoxidil (7%), Cetirizine HCl (1%), Latanoprost (0.004%), Dutasteride (0.25%), Melatonin (0.1%), Caffeine (0.2%), Tretinoin (0.0125%), Vitamin D3 (1,000IU/ML), Vitamin E (10 IU/ML). 5% minoxidil is a solid budget alternative. Apply 1 mL to scalp at night or in the morning (or both), massage thoroughly. Note that some people experience side effects with a topical such as itchy skin, headaches etc. so monitor for those," said the post.
Fifth step: Bryan said he takes 3.75 mg of Oral minoxidil a day. "I started with 2.5 mg and evaluated for side effects. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial involving 90 men with androgenetic alopecia AGA, oral minoxidil (5 mg daily) was found to have similar efficacy to topical minoxidil (5% solution applied twice daily) after 24 weeks.Ref (7) Oral minoxidil is generally considered safe at low doses, but it can have side effects such as hypertrichosis (excessive hair growth) and headaches," said Bryan.
