Japanese wasabi company Kinin recently made an announcement that chemicals found within the wasabi plant help regrow hair faster than current hair-loss remedies such as Rogaine (minoxidil).
Keep in mind that they mean real wasabi, and not that toxic-green playdough sitting in a mound next to the birthday-pink pickled ginger that you're undoubtedly familiar with. Considering fresh wasabi typically goes for around $80 per pound, and has a rather pungent odor, you might be better off picking up some Rogaine.
While there is no currently no official scientific work to substantiate the claims made by kinin, there is some pre-existing scientific literature on wasabi in medical settings.
The chemical isosaponarin, which Kinin claims helps stimulate hair regrowth, was previously noted to aid in human collagen production. The second chemical of note in wasabi, 6-MSITC, has been shown to inhibit breast cancer cell growth.
If you're looking for other questionable, all-natural ways to regrown some hair, wasabi is but one of many things you can throw in a blender and spread on across your pate.
Onions (pick your favorite variety) can be frapped and put on the head. A study from 2002, claims that onion juice is actually effective in treating alopecia areata, a less common form of hair loss. You could also pull a PBR from the fridge for a beer hair rinse, and let all that yeasty goodness go to work. There's no real scientific basis for that one, but hey, apparently Catherine Zeta-jones thinks it's great.
If all else fails, you can try the standard Japanese anti-baldness cure of just straight up stuffing your face with curry—like all the time.

If you are thinning on top, the next time you are buying ingredients for a salad, consider veggies for your scalp too.
Peaches is probably at an East Asian grocer now looking for wasabi to rub on his shiny dome. :laugh3:

Joe yes, Peaches no.
Odd. Wasabi has suddenly become difficult to buy in Australia.
Apparently some guy named "Aaron" has been buying up all available stocks.
No thank you.
I got this Burt Reynolds thing going on.
My brother used Rogaine for one year. It didn't work.
If I lose all my hair, as a woman, I will just shave it all off.

Ranks right up there with being abducted by Martians.
I hear masturbation makes your hands hairy..
Could this work on the scalp?

Truth be known, I have so much hair that I don't know what to do with it.
One chief downside is this kinda hair grows so fast that it needs to be cut every 2 weeks.
plus its a bitch to comb and maintain.
The upside is it makes me appear 20 years younger than I really am.
Plus the girls/ladies like it & find it attractive.
But many men find it intinidating & wish I wasnt so hairy cuz it makes them feel old.
they often get jealous if their wives or girlfriends start flirting with me.
Many men I knew 30 years ago are bald or balding.
Past the age of 40-45 most men lose their hair, seoulbro.
For many men, their hair once so plentiful when they were young, falls off like flowers on a tree when the later seasons of their life come along.
:crazy:

Does this really work ? Anyone tried it ? Asking for a friend
"A: I believe you will have better success putting wasabi on your sushi, than on your hair.
I believe you will have better success putting wasabi on your sushi, than on your hair. There is no clinical evidence to support that wasabi stimulates hair growth, other ingredients have been shown to increase circulation and hair growth that are currently available. Some of these methods make a great impact on hair loss, yet are not known to all."

Thank you. This friend drives me crazy with the hair loss issues
I've never lost hair.
It's right there on the pillow when I wake up in the morning.

Joe will die in a one room apartment. Because he has nobody in his life his rotting corpse will be discovered by emergency services after complaints from other tennants about the foul odour from his apartment. No funeral of course. The body goes to the city animal road kill rendering plant.
Joe thinks being a drunk a decade and a half ago is not as strange as being a sixty year old virgin. There aint nothing as strange as that Joe. No matter what the online incel community tells you.

Harsh. A likely scenario, but still harsh.
