My wife already told me, even if I could magically have my full head of hair back she would still want me bald. So I am with the right woman eh!!!

I don't know at all if you could grow it back or not, my understanding is that once the hair has been gone for a while the pores like scar over or something? But I'm not shocked by your wife's response because baldness is typically associated with high levels of testosterone and masculinity. I think its the thinning period that is almost more like an awkward second puberty with voice cracking until a guy can figure out what to do with half the hair he had. But once he commits and goes shaved etc its like a strong sense of authority. I've never heard anyone talk about how much better vin diesel would look with fabio type hair.

Been using the RLT less lately, I think because I'm waking up with the sun now. Sunrise is technically 5:15am which means I'm seeing it about 30 minutes prior to that. by the time I'm out of the shower its cresting over the mountains and I don't feel that "need" for the extra wake up light. Right now this sorta validates my opinion that people in dark climates probably would benefit more from RLT than people in sunnier more consistent climates. I'm still hitting it daily but its been 5min on (like before) and either skipping the 10 minutes post shower, or not bothering standing in front of it the full time its on for 10.

I have zero doubt, come fall/winter, it will again be a vital part of my morning routine for waking up though. I am one of those that really love a 4am sunrise.
 
Are you actually exposing yourself to the sunlight in the morning?

I've been doing what I can to follow the hubberman approach of no lenses in the first and last 30 minutes of the day. When the sun is shining over the mountain at 5-5:30am I'm in the middle of the commute I'm getting full bright sunlight that I'd normally wear sunglasses for, now it is of course blocked by the windshield...

Mornings and nights have had garden walks/inspections. On a day like yesterday there is some sunlight but today its strong overcast so no sun yet as of 6:40am tbh.

Evening same thing. Last night I sat on the couch at 8pm and was a little grumpy cause I couldn't get tired lol. I hate DST lol

I think most windshields are UV resistant, not sure you are getting the benefits through a windshield. Well scratch that I just checked and while 98-99% UV resistant they allow red light through. So that is pretty cool.

I was wondering that, I would not have been surprised if the windshield was blocking beneficial rays. This morning the sun was so incredibly high on my morning commute already long before 6am. I was out in the backyard in my boxers at 4:30am watering tomatoes lol. I love our early sunrises this time of year!

FWIW the girl who cuts my hair last night to only rub the rosemary in for 10-20 minutes max, she said doing it in the morning and washing out at night can clog the pores

Sorry Dustin, I missed this. I've just been whacking it in in the morning and washing it out at night - just because I don't want my pillow to smell of cooking ingredients.

Accidental benefit - a few people have said I'm looking younger in the last week. I put this down to my haphazzard way of applying the tincture - anything left over just get rubbed into my face. I'm a scientist!

this one cracked me up. I feel like my face is looking good, I cut back on my egg intake because I think they cause me to break out, but I told my wife I think these gray hairs are finally here to stay. back in 2019 I had a grays start to pop up, then I sold a business, stress dropped and all my grays went away. Now they seem to be coming back for the long haul haha.
 
I tried zinc as apparently that stops grey - I really didn't want to go grey. Then the norwood started to kick in and I'm thinking I wouldn't have minded being a silver fox.

I've got the worst of both worlds now.

Old age never visits alone as my nan used to say.

My wife is ten years older than me with better skin care and keeps her hair looking beautiful. If things keep goign this way I will have gone from the cub who won the cougar lottery, to the old man silver fox married to the younger looking gal, so I got no complaints. If I can stay relatively jacked and grey or bald I'm happy. my goal when I was 30 at 9% bodyfat was to be a dad who looked like he lifted with big shoulders and not fat, but not abercrombie lean, so far its working out. been a long time since anyone picked a fight with me at a bar. jacked old dudes are way scarier looking lol 😂
