Multi-millionaire biohacker Bryan Johnson has claimed that his expensive anti-aging lifestyle has not only shaved years off his age, but also helped him reverse his hair loss and eradicate his gray hair.
Johnson, 46, who became famous for his $2 million-a-year anti-aging regime, admitted he started going gray in his late 20s.
He now urges everyone to take care of their hair before they start losing it. He notes that “many people” wait until they see their hair thinning rapidly before taking action.
“When you’re in your early 20s, mid 20s, it’s a good time to start realizing it’s important,” he urged. “Otherwise it’s harder to catch him.”
Johnson – who claims to have lowered his age by five years in his quest for youth – detailed his four hair-saving tips in a recent YouTube video, explaining how he keeps his luscious locks from turning gray.

Johnson – who claims to have lowered his age by five years in his quest for youth – detailed his four hair-saving tips in a recent YouTube video, including using a red light therapy cap
Red light therapy mask
Johnson’s hair care treatment begins with wearing a red light therapy cap for six minutes every morning to simulate hair follicle growth.
“It has 32 laser points that you put on the head and turn on, it’s battery powered so I can walk around and do my morning routine without having to sit down,” he explains.
‘It increases blood flow and also stimulates hair follicle activity.’
Johnson said studies on the treatment’s effectiveness were “pretty good.”
“It’s not the most powerful treatment we do, but it’s still part of the stack and so all these little things add up,” he explained.
Topical formulation
After using the red light cap, Johnson uses a formulation to simulate hair growth.
‘I apply this topically to my scalp daily. You’ve probably heard of topicals like Rogaine and minoxidil five percent,” he explained.
‘Both are effective.’
Johnson added that his team had added a “ton of other goodies” to the topical formulation, which can be prepared by a compounding pharmacy
Johnson added that his team had added a “lot of other goodies” to the topical formulation, which could be prepared by a pharmaceutical pharmacy.
‘So we published this recipe and you can share that recipe with the pharmacy and have them make it for you,” he suggested.
“It’s a hassle, I know, but it’s the only way to get it done.”
Johnson applies the formulation once a day, but the biohacker said you can apply it twice a day in the Morning and evening, for a more intense approach.
Microneedling
In addition to his other treatments, Johnson uses microneedling to enhance the benefits.
Although the youthful wannabe admitted he wasn’t “consistent” with micro-needling at first, as he and his team were trying so many other treatments at the time as part of Johnson’s Blueprint protocol.
“It got pushed out a little bit,” he admitted.
“We think it’s effective, we think it’s a good thing too, we’re also a little concerned because I was doing so many things for my hair,” Johnson explained, noting that he also receives platelet-rich plasma injections ( PRP) and microneedling. the time.

Basic care
Johnson urged everyone to exercise general caution with their hair.
This included not combing too hard or pulling too hard on the hair follicles.
“Don’t comb too hard (and) don’t pull the follicles very hard — it’s delicate, so just be gentle (with your hair),” he suggested.
Reversing gray hair
Johnson began going gray in his late 20s, and recalled being “basically completely gray” in his late 30s.
Although some external factors may have contributed to that, with the millionaire admitting that they did ‘really depressed at the time.
“It was a crazy time in my life,” he remembers.
‘I was building Braintree, Venmo, I I had three little babies, I was in one challenging relationship, trying to leave my born into religion – (I had) a lot going on.”
The tech mogul – who now sports dark-colored hair – tried ‘many things with his team to reverse his gray hair.
“We have largely failed in the past,” he said. ‘We have been successful this year.
Johnson boasted that “now” a lot of people have asked if he dyes his hair.
“Going to the salon, using a chemical process – I’ve done that before in my 30s, but I haven’t done that in the last year,” he said.
Instead, he uses two formulations to achieve gray-free locks, stressing that this has helped increase color production in his hair.
“We did a biopsy on my hair, we looked under the microscope and we see that the color is produced under the scalp – so it really works,” he enthused.
‘One of them contains a herbal extract that has a color and you can see that in my hair.’
Johnson uses GR7, an anti-gray and anti-hair loss treatment from a British company, which he applies three or four times a week.
To accompany this, Johnson uses Mayraki, which contains herbal extract that contains some color as part of the formulation.
Johnson also talked about his skincare routine, sharing that he tries to minimize the time he spends in the sun by only going outside when he can, in the early morning or evening.
