That’s amazing! Hair regrowth on a bald spot at 75—especially if it’s growing rapidly—is unusual but not impossible, and it can be influenced by a mix of health changes, treatments, or even lifestyle adjustments.
Here are a few possible reasons why this could happen:
🌿 Why Hair Might Suddenly Regrow at 75:
1. Improved Circulation or Scalp Health
Changes in diet, increased physical activity, or even scalp massage can boost blood flow to follicles, potentially stimulating dormant ones.
2. New Supplements or Medications
Some vitamins (like biotin, vitamin D, zinc) or medications for other conditions (e.g., antihypertensives or anti-inflammatories) can unintentionally promote hair growth.
3. Hormonal Shifts
Though hormones decline with age, subtle hormonal rebalancing (from medications, weight changes, or health improvements) might trigger follicle activity.
4. Reduced Stress or Improved Sleep
Better sleep, lower cortisol, or reduced stress levels can benefit the hair cycle, especially if stress previously contributed to hair loss.
5. Use of Natural Oils or Products
Sometimes, a shift to using castor oil, rosemary oil, or even scalp serums with peptides or minoxidil-like effects can trigger regrowth—sometimes without even realizing it.
6. Follicles Were Dormant, Not Dead
Hair follicles that appear inactive for years may still be alive and capable of regrowth if properly stimulated.
⚠️ A Word of Caution:
If the regrowth is very sudden or unusual, it could also be linked to a systemic change in your body, so it might be worth checking in with a doctor or dermatologist just to rule out anything unexpected.
