Protocol Steps

Start Early and Be Proactive

Mindset

By age 20, about 20% of men already have some visible hair loss. Many people lose up to 50% of their hair before they notice it's thinning. The key is starting early — prevention is far more effective than regrowth.

Red Light Therapy Cap (6 mins daily)

6 mins

Wear a red and near-infrared light therapy cap for 6 minutes daily. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) stimulates hair follicles, increases blood flow to the scalp, and promotes hair growth.

Scalp Massage (1-2 mins daily)

1-2 mins

Massage your scalp daily for 1-2 minutes to increase blood flow to hair follicles. Use a scalp massager brush during shampooing for added stimulation.

Topical Minoxidil

2 mins

Apply topical minoxidil 5% solution to the scalp. Minoxidil is one of the most well-studied hair regrowth treatments. Bryan includes it as part of his daily protocol. Apply to areas of thinning using the dropper applicator.

Nutrition for Hair

Included in diet

Ensure adequate intake of key nutrients for hair health: protein, omega-3 fatty acids, biotin (vitamin B7), vitamins C, D, and E, iron, and zinc. The Blueprint supplement stack covers all of these. A nutrient-poor diet is one of the most common causes of hair loss.
