“Genetically, I’m supposed to be bald. I’ve been losing hair and getting gray hair since my late 20s. Now, at 47, I have a full head of hair and 70% of my gray hair is gone. Here’s how I did it,” read his tweet.
The entrepreneur shared a thread where he shared a multi-layered approach to reversing hair loss. He shared that contrary to popular belief, men can work on maintaining their hair health even in their 40s. Through nutritional therapy, topical therapy, and light therapy, Brian achieved transformation.
Start early:
Rather than waiting for visible hair loss to appear, Brian advised that you should start an approach to reversing hair loss and restoring your natural hair color as soon as possible. “Many people lose up to 50% of their hair without realizing it. The best time to tackle your hair is before it starts falling out,” read his tweet.

nutrition:
Brian Johnson suggested a diet rich in vitamins and minerals, especially protein, iron, selenium, biotin, and omega-3 fatty acids to reverse hair loss. Protein supports the synthesis of collagen, keratin, and elastin, and omega-3 fatty acids have antioxidant properties and promote circulation in the scalp.
Topical prescription:
Not only did Brian follow a nutritious diet to combat his hair loss, he also carefully selected topical regimens tailored to his genetics. This formula consists of minoxidil, cetirizine hydrochloride, latanoprost, dutasteride, melatonin, caffeine, tretinoin, vitamin D3, and vitamin E. However, Brian added that this topical formula can cause side effects such as itchy skin and headaches.

Red light therapy:
“I can just wear this for six minutes a day and go through my morning routine,” Brian writes. He mentioned a study that demonstrated a 39% increase in hair growth in men who received 25 minutes of red light therapy every other day for 16 weeks.
Oral minoxidil:
Brian also attributed his hair loss recovery to another essential ingredient, oral minoxidil. But he stressed that hair loss drugs should only be taken in low doses. Taking high doses of the drug can cause unpleasant side effects such as headaches and excessive hair growth.
Brian Johnson, founder and CEO of Kernel and OS Fund, is an internet sensation known for his age-reversing attempt called Project Blueprint.
