As long as you are doing it for yourself, then it's really good. You don't have to think about what other people will say. If you are not happy with what you see in the mirror, why not do some changes, right? I salute you for bravely admitting!Originally Posted by Djen
"Gingerness" isn't even a word let alone a disease and it certainly doesn't need a cure. How rude!
I am glad that some people are experiencing the results they want with their hair color by taking peptides. However, it is a pity that society ridicules certain hair colors which can look really beautiful and most unusual. I think it is is always best to focus on your best points and make the most of them. Peptides may yet be the answer to permanent hair changes.
I am happy to see some people are getting the results they want for hair color by using peptides. This may be the future answer to changing hair color or even restoring grey. Ginger hair can look great and I am sorry that there are those who ridicule this.
I think it also depends on the reactions of the body. There are some who increase the dose, and don't really see nay huge differences compared to the doses they were used to.
i agree from my experience. a lot of people on here report needing as much as 1mg for darkening of hair.
when i took 0.25 mg every other day, My hair went dark brown from dark ginger. not exactly a big dose is it? Other people get almost no results from that. I also managed to tan from 0.25mg injections a few hours before getting in the sun(although 0.5mg was more effective).
I'm 100% a type 1 too. It is all dependent on your own genetics. Right now my hair is light brown and i've been off for 3 months with several haircuts of fresh growth. My hair probably darkened naturally too though, but i do wonder if MT2 has accelerated that or turned on a gene or something.
Well, that's good for you! At least you know what works with you.
It is kind of rude, but I think he views it that way because he was made fun of and was bullied for being a ginger.
I agree with you mate.
That's personal, for me it felt like a disease but I won't judge anyone else for it.
I'm a full-on ginger and I don't see it as offensive. It might look as a disease to others, but for me - definitely not. Furthermore, being a ginger definitely helps to be more sociable since you have a topic to make small talk about
We all have different colours and characteristics. I can't see anything wrong - or necessarily right - with being ginger! Most of the ginger haired people I've ever known have had superbly creamy skin. Come to think of it, most of them were very creative too, but i doubt that had anything to do with colouring or pigmentation!
does hair darken with low doses over a long period of time e.g. 0.25mg ED for a year?
Typical dosage range is 0.5 to 2.0 mg/day, with a preferred range of 0.5 to 1.0 mg/day. However, it’s best to first assess tolerance with lower dosing of 0.25 mg at a time.
So, 0.25mg is just to test your tolerance. You'll have to gradually increase your dose to see results.
7 weeks into the nanolash and 1,6 mg of M2 a day, my eyelashes have improved, that's for sure, but it's not gotten to the point where it matches the other hair darkening. In latisse most changes happen between week 8 and 12 with full results at week 16, so I still have a long way to go, but it's nerve wrecking, just because you know you have to wait.
There doesn't seem to be a difference between 1,4 and 1,6 mg but yet there wasn't a difference between 0,8 and 0,9 either but then at 1 mg there WAS a difference. Anyway, I promised myself never to cross the 2 mg limit, don't want to be a freak. I have a perfect tolerance at 1,6. No side effects at all.
Yup, still a long way, Djen, but look where you are now. You've gotten so far. Time flies so fast, if you don't pay too much attention to it.
I just read on Science Direct that "food deprivation increases the expression of melanocortin-4 receptor in the liver". Perhaps combining any treatment dosages you've found working with a very low calorie diet might improve results if this increases expression of other melanocortin receptors. Worth a try.
In Belgium there's about to become a new law that bad behaviour against gingers will get punished. You will no longer be allowed to call a ginger redhead or ginger because it's insulting and the number of suicides is very high in the ginger population.
I was shocked that there is a cure to gingerness. I never really thought that there is a way for us to change our natural hair color without dying it. Well, another new piece of knowledge from this forum.
Gingerness? Cure? I think there is none. Just accept the way you are. The truth is I find gingerhead people to be amazing and beautiful. If you could accept yourself being a gingerhead then everything is gonna be okay.
