I'm stood in a bar right now, watching a bald headed guy in a t-shirt chat up a cracking blonde-it gives me hope for the future :)

This is why I dont think it works for NW5+ because the hair follicle has shrunk to beyond the point of return and TRX2 becomes ineffective in that situation.
Just my opinion for what I get from the website.
Fair enough, but the way I read the press release, is that Whitfield believes that potassium ion channels offer the answer to the deactivated stem cells.
Taken from their site:
Only last week, the US Journal of Clinical Investigation published research findings from the University of Pennsylvania that made the case that bald heads had the same number of hair-making stem cells as a full head of hair, but just too many of the wrong type.
New hairs created by these cells are microscopic and the researchers are now turning their attention to finding ways to reactivate the cells. Whitfield believes potassium ion channels – small protein structures that are essential for hair growth – provide the answer. Two years ago, researchers discovered there is a specific type of potassium ion channel in hair follicles and he has been busy since.
Also.... is it true that even NW7 men have microscopic hairs? So technically they still have hair it is just microscopic....? So these men are not actually bald you just need a microscope to see their hair?

If we still have the stem cells and they are still producing invisible microscopic hairs - then we are not bald.... right?
Even if the hairs are a few thousand nanometres in length! LOL
And how on earth did Histogen grow 85 hairs in a 1.47cm2 area of NW 6 scalp if there exists a point of no return? I'm not challenging your idea, I really believe hairs NEVER DIE they just miniaturize albiet to the level of near nonexistence, baldness isnt the loss of something, it is a transition, your hair turns into the type of hair you have on your hands and feet - i.e.. invisible microscopic hairs - BUT STILL HAIRS! LOL....

I tend to agree with that. If I'm sat on a bus and a bald old age pensioner is sat in front of me, on close inspection I still usually can see minute fuzz, even in the old age.
Just need to kickstart it back to life perhaps? If only someone had the key to do it.

Yeah I think when it hits the "shiny bald" NW7 stage the hairs are so small you're talking the size of some cells, you dont see individual skin cells with the naked eye, so you wouldnt see those hairs.

Why does everyone act surprised when they see bald guys picking up broads? That shit is played out already, and people need to realize that its much more than just hair. Believe it or not, your personality and confidence matters a lot. You also have to consider if you are not an ugly dude and maybe your body might help out if you have a solid physique. I seen so many bald dudes here in LA get so many hot chicks. You also have to consider than women are more insecure than anyone. Plus, not every person thinks of baldness the way we do at times. I remember before i started losing my hair, how i never ever ever looked down on bald guys. I Still don't but i guess when it happens to you, you might change a bit. I didnt really think much of it before. In LA it's actually part of the culture and you see a grip of bald guys. They shave or cut their hair so short even when they are not going bald. Many chicks dig it believe it or not. If girls are the reason you are stressing, you probably never had much experience picking up girls.
