🚨 DID SCIENTISTS JUST CURE BALDNESS?

Forget rubbing donkey hooves on your head. UCLA scientists found a molecule — PP405 — that wakes up sleeping hair follicles and tells them, “Do your job.”

In early trials, people rubbed it on their scalps before bed.

One week later? Boom — actual hair, not sad fuzz.

Thick, terminal strands. The kind you don’t have to squint to see.

It blocks a protein that keeps follicles asleep.

Turns out, your scalp isn’t dead — just lazy.

The team’s backed by Google Ventures and already raised $16 million, which is more than most hair-loss companies make before they vanish in a cloud of regret and beard oil.

It’s not FDA-approved yet.

But it’s looking way more legit than everything in the late-night infomercial aisle.
