As men, thereโ€™s that terrible stage in life where the worries of hair loss come to the forefront of the mind. It becomes a game of figuring out how best to deal with it and the stresses that come with it. In a great move for us some Japanese scientists have found a potential solution in the most unexpected places. Researchers at Yokohama National University have used a chemical called dimethylpolysiloxane to mass produce hair follicles in mice and hopefully humans in the long run. 

In a stroke of luck for everyone, the chemical can be commonly found in silicone which is actually added to cooking oil for fries at McDonaldโ€™s restaurants. According to Junji Fukuda, a professor who helped write the study, the use of dimethylpolysiloxane was crucial to successfully producing growth at rapid speeds.  

โ€œThis simple method is very robust and promising,โ€ Fukuda said. โ€œWe hope that this technique will improve human hair regenerative therapy to treat hair loss such as androgenic alopecia.โ€ 

So whilst human trials are yet to commence, if youโ€™re looking for a way to stave off the hair loss or get some of it back, a quick trip to the drive-thru may be the solution (but donโ€™t take our word for it, just use it as another excuse to overindulge).
