To the handful of people that this applies to, don't fast if you're also looking to grow your hair.

Mechanism: This effect is not due to calorie restriction, circadian rhythm changes, or mTORC1 pathways. Instead:

• Fasting triggers communication between the adrenal glands and dermal adipocytes (fat cells in the skin).
• This leads to the release of free fatty acids into the hair follicle stem cell niche.
• Free fatty acids disrupt HFSC metabolism, causing an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS), which leads to oxidative damage and apoptosis.

Especially those who are coping with oil and dermaroller/stamp. Just buy some basedbodyworks bro
