So that's a PGD2 inhibitor and a PGE2 promoter to help re-grow hair, for those keeping track.

The following link goes a bit more into it:

Ginger is a herbaceous perennial plant, which is a common ingredient in Asian cuisine. Ginger root has been a traditional Asian remedy for hair loss, and even though its effects on the human scalp haven’t been properly researched its potential to increase PGE2 has been shown in studies. Research shows that the plant has an anti-inflammatory effect and increases PGE2 (Shivanad, 2005) (Joland 2004).

...and...

Castor oil is a vegetable oil that is obtained by pressing the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant. It’s used as traditional medicine for a number of ailments including baldness with self-reporting cases all over the internet showing its effects. The mechanism behind hair loss might be its ability to increase PGE2 as research has shown. Studies on pregnant rats have shown that feeding them castor oil increases PGE2 synthesis. (Gao et al., 1999) (Tunaru et al.,2012 ) Although it hasn’t been studied as an actual treatment castor oil has been used topically for years without any side effects so giving it a try wouldn’t do any harm.

    If you've followed to this point, the addition of a PGD2 inhibitor like Quercetin (powder) and PGE2 promoter like Ginger Root could prove to be beneficial for my formula.

    The addition of sperm is to be left to your discretion. I suppose it's for the more desperate, or perhaps "brave" of the bunch out there.

    As to whether or not I give it a go, well, I wouldn't admit that I jizz on my own head even if I did, so what's the point of even saying that I won't? Take that however you wish...

    ...moving along...

    Here's an argument for Quercetin being a good choice as the PGD2 inhibitor:

    Studies suggest that some flavonoids such as quercetin could be used effectively as topical medication rather than supplements, so that people experiencing hair loss could benefit from an increased effect. When it comes to skin conditions quercetin is efficient in inflammatory skin diseases (Caddeo et al., 2014) as well as to control UVB-mediated oxidative damage of the skin (Casagrande et al.,), so topical application of these flavonoids might be more efficient than using them as dietary supplements. In alopecia areata, subcutaneous injections showed induced hair regrowth in preexisting alopecic lesions (in mice). (Wikramanayake et al., 2012)

      ...and still more digging reveals...

      http://hair-growth-remedies.com/using-wheat-germ-oil-for-hair-growth/

      Wheat germ oil contains fatty acid that are longer than that of found in other hair oils like coconut oil. And that is the reason that it nourishes and conditions the hair better than all other oils. Its moisturizing and conditioning properties make it capable of repairing the damaged hair at faster rate and prevent from further hair loss.

      The vitamin B found in wheat germ oil promote the new growth and formation of new tissues, thus it helps to promote new hair growth both in terms of length and the volume of the hair. The key to healthy hair growth is the healthy scalp and healthy root of the hair which is done by the use of what germ oil.

      Wheat germ oil is a useful ingredient for maintaining healthy hair. "It is rich in linoleic acid and acts as a hair nourisher. Use it in the ratio 10:1 with other carrier oils such as olive and sesame (10 parts carrier oil and 1 part wheat germ oil) and apply on the scalp. Leave it on for some time before rinsing the hair," says Dr Ashutosh Gautam, Clinical Operations and Coordination Manager at Baidyanath.
