How do copper peptides affect hair growth? My experience with AHK‑Cu topically

Posted by aspiring_trailrun in General Discussion - 1 points, 0 comments.

I’ve been testing AHK‑Cu in a 1‑2 % topical serum for the last three months, applying it twice daily over the scalp. The formula gave a slight blue‑green tint to the hair pins, but after a week I noticed my follicles feeling less “dead” – the hair seemed shinier and I’ve seen a small uptick in new growth, especially on the crown. It’s hard to say how much is placebo, but the texture change is real to me – the scalp feels less flaky.

I’ve heard about GHK‑Cu too, and the two seem to share similar angiogenic signals, but AHK‑Cu appears less irritating on my skin. I’m curious: have others tried 0.5‑2 mg/mL concentrations? Does anyone combine it with a DIY biotin/niacin blend?sen the outcome? I’d love to hear your results or any tweaks that made a difference.
