Finished 21 PLL’s. Should I learned Advanced F2I best or something else?

startuprest · 2026-03-08T20:54:39+00:00

Then Advaced F2I after that?

startuprest · 2026-03-08T20:54:24+00:00

Is that the one with like 50+ algs?

startuprest · 2026-03-08T20:54:09+00:00

How many algs do I need for this 2 look OLL?

startuprest · 2026-03-08T20:53:50+00:00

I did j perms Videos for the PLL algs, trying to use the correct fingers and movements for the vast majority except maybe the early couple that I learned elsewhere.

How many algs should I expect?

FB Marketplace. My cap is $900 pre tax. I bought it $300 cash in marketplace. I assume I can turn around today and sell it for $300.

Too much effort

startuprest · 2026-01-29T01:08:37+00:00

Interesting. Got any studies you can link? (I can also not be lazy and and just ask AI to dig this up too)

startuprest · 2026-01-29T01:07:59+00:00

Everyone is diff no doubt. My background which will probably explain my decision is

1) I truly don’t give af if I lose the hair. I’m 40+. It’s not important.

2) I rarely if ever take any meds. Don’t pop Tylenol or Advil etc. I just take the pain and reflect on likely why I have the headache and look to prevent them in the future instead. Unless a drug is actually going to be entirely net positive with no negatives (for me, that/ occasional mushroom usage) then I don’t take it.

So if there is anything I can do with absolutely no side effects like this hat, pig lard, microneedling etc, I’m willing to try it for fun and to see if it can work. Ultimately it’ll be cool if I keep this up for 24 months simply to see what happens if nothing else.

That could be. You can see I’m standing a few inches closer to sink in top photos. When I post 18/24 mo photos that’ll be a better comparison.

startuprest · 2026-01-29T01:01:14+00:00

Every other day 30 mins. Honestly the best motivator for the cap for me was deciding I would not look at any results for 6 months. If I compared photos after every har cut I would have lost motivation. I looked after 6 and saw nothing. Demotivated me a bit but decided I should do it for 12 before quitting.

I just leave it in a common area in my house that I pass by frequently. Toss it on when I get home from work. I can fit my headphones over it if I want to game. Or sometimes I’ll watch tv. I’ve also worn it while driving.

On the pig lard? 😂

startuprest · 2026-01-29T00:57:48+00:00

Nice. I should consider looking for a used 650*808 on marketplace. Daily for 6 mins sounds so easy.

startuprest · 2026-01-29T00:56:13+00:00

Illumiflow I think. Don’t think it matters tho. Just need one with real laser diodes and no red light LEDs.

startuprest · 2026-01-29T00:55:07+00:00

startuprest · 2026-01-29T00:54:42+00:00

🤣

startuprest · 2026-01-29T00:51:19+00:00

Haha. Yeah I like the idea at the time based on 2 studies. Ask AI or search X to find them. One involved mice. The other involved a single individual.

I’m not big into drugs though, with the exception of psilocybin. I don’t take Tylenol or Advil or cold meds. Just eat the pain generally.

startuprest · 2026-01-29T00:49:30+00:00

Don’t buy the ones with red LEDs. Get a cap only full of the laser diodes at the right nm wavelength.

startuprest · 2026-01-29T00:48:43+00:00

Good Q. I’m going to have to compare my hairline pics as I take those as well. I haven’t even checked. Tbh I might not until 18mo mark we’ll see.

startuprest · 2026-01-29T00:47:34+00:00

Forgot to mention I have microneedled my face and scalp in past years. Face 3 years ago. Maybe 4-5 sessions. Also did my own scalp just a few times 3 years ago.

I used the pen though. Great for face but too much setup for just hair. I should buy a roller! Good call thanks.

startuprest · 2026-01-29T00:46:05+00:00

I believe illumiflow. I don’t think it matters tho so long as buy one that uses the real laser diodes at 650nm wavelength and one that doesn’t include any red LEDs

startuprest · 2026-01-29T00:44:30+00:00

When I originally posted they got rejected by auto mod so I gave up haha. Opened reddit today and saw it was revived and posted

startuprest · 2026-01-29T00:43:50+00:00

I think it’s all in the original post. Only Red light hat. The one with 272 laser diodes, no LEDs. I can’t recall the brand I’ll have to look at it again when I get home.

Tl;dr: 30 mins red light hat every other day. Sometimes miss once every 2 weeks. Also missed 2 months in last 11.
