Very simple way to increase hair growth in less than 2 weeks
How the Founder of VitaminDWiki quickly got substantial hair growth
- DMSO is an excellent solvent which allow many supplements to get thru the skin
- Had read that DMSO applied to the scalp helped hair growth
- Had experienced that topical vitamin D helps skin-related problems about 100 X better than taking it orally
- Added 40,000 IU of topical vitamin D to 1 tablespoon of DMSO ( I used cream from Amazon , DMSO liquid is about 4X lower cost (since should dilute the oil about 3X with water)
- First took a shower to clean the scalp
- Applied about 1/4 tablspoon to scalp
- Shampoo again 4 to 30 hours later.
- By the 4th application, there was a noticeable increase in hair thickness
- I have repeated the procedure about twice a year since Feb 2024
- If I wanted even more hair growth, I would probably add a Vitamin D receptor activator - there are many to choose from

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) signaling plays a crucial role in hair follicle biology and represents a promising therapeutic target for various forms of alopecia. This review comprehensively examines the molecular mechanisms of VDR signaling in hair follicle development, cycling, and pathology. We discuss key molecular mechanisms of VDR-dependent gene regulation through chromatin remodeling, transcriptional regulation, and recruitment of coregulatory complexes, which collectively regulate hair follicle homeostasis. Recent advances in understanding VDR genetic polymorphisms and their impact on treatment responses have provided new insights into personalized therapeutic approaches. The review explores current therapeutic strategies, from conventional vitamin D supplementation to emerging targeted delivery systems and combination therapies. We also analyze the challenges and limitations in current research, including the need for improved delivery systems and reliable biomarkers for treatment response prediction. The integration of molecular insights with clinical applications suggests promising directions for developing more effective, personalized treatments for various forms of alopecia. This comprehensive analysis underscores the significance of VDR-targeted approaches in the future management of hair disorders and highlights the importance of continued research in this field.
