Hi, it's that dude again. lol. 
I thought I would give you ladies an update on my growth. I have been using megatek now since July 27th, and it's now September 1st. I was going to do a month long update, but I forgot and now decided to do one at the first. I have also been taking 5000 mcg of biotin for 3.5 months (with a 2-3 week break from the vit last month.) My hair was buzzed to the head somewhere near January 20th and it's been SLLLOOWW growing until recently when my growth shot up, unless it's just a placebo effect, and my hair hasn't grown at all. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the megatek, the biotin or a mixture of the two. My hair has always grown slow, and I have been recovering from a life-long straightening accident I call my childhood.
lol So in a since I have been going "natural" without accually going "natural" because I don't have typical 3c + black people's hair. I'm mixed and have looser curls that straighten easily into typical white people's hair.
Now this new growth has not been without problem I have had SERIOUS breakage at the crown, darn near to the scalp. I'm not exactly sure when this happened, but I checked my scalp with a double mirror last month and I have noticed that the entire area around my crown is pretty much non existent compared to the rest of my hair. I FEAR male-pattern baldness, but my mom who is a "white person" hair stylist swears up and down it's just breakage. My problem now is trying to grow it out and prevent it from ever happening again. I refuse to look like bozo the clown for the rest of my life.
My hair after the big buzz in jan-feb. Looks like typical short hair. Looks like their MIGHT be thinning in the temple area, but not sure because I've always had a big forehead. I started using biotin sometime around this time.
When I started using this forum, and when I started megatekking July 27th. My hair was pretty much at this length at this point. SLOW SLOW SLOW growth all that month. which was pretty much typical. notice how little my hair grew from January to July. That's it IN 6 MONTHS.
My hair now, Including the scary breakage in the back.
Shorter sparse hairs are evident compared to big loopy ones. My natural texture is tighter curled than this, I just picked it out with a comb.
In all reality. I don't see THAT big of a difference with the megatek. It is faint, but I personally see a problem with my hair in general. Such as the UBER thin texture of it all over my head. My hair is more loosely curly in the back than in the front, and of course my crown area is failing to thrive. My hair is way thicker than it used to be, so this is a big improvement, but there is still a problem. I think I'm going to have my thyroid levels checked, or something, because my hair is sparse in some spots, and Even at this length (which is clearly evident by the recent pictures) you can still see my scalp through the hair in some spots. Look at my pathetic attempt at side burns, see my problem?

well helloooo...lol...oh let me go back and read you post
I don't get it, normally men don't go bald on the sides of their head. My hair is just thin all over. Feels very very very fine. in the last pic you'll see the breakage of crown. Nope, I don't have any pictures of my crown before the ones I took today, because I never noticed the breakage before recently.
after. VO5 Nourishing is really good. Make sure there is no protein in it. Leave it in your hair for 15 minutes then rinse. That should combat the protein overload. You may want to add some warm heat to it so that it penetrates the shaft. Do you massage your scalp? Do you massage the MT onto your scalp? I do scalp massages frequently. My sister who suffers from Alopecia had bald spots until she started using MT. She leaves it in her hair. I sometimes leave it in my hair and just add coconut oil or castor oil.
Which to me is a sign that my hair did not absorb the oil or I put too much. Oh and my other sister with the alopecia also has a thyroid condition so you may want to check into that as well like you stated. Her hair is in the 2/3 texture range.
