I have been a lurker for about one and half years and gleaned the information to restore my scalp from lhcf. I decided to join last week just to answer a similar question so I will add my experience here also. My hair is curly, dense, fine and very soft. I had temple damage from relaxers and later my hairline was damaged from a Hawaiian Silky "dry curl" and later post-partum damage. I still had hair but my scalp was damaged. It was tight, tender, dry, flaky and itchy and the chemical damage had actually changed the texture of my hair in two spots making it so dry and brittle in those two areas that it would only grow to a short length and then break. My hair was weak all over. I found lchf accidentally while googling protein powders. I later found a thread on MN (miconazole nitrate). I think that had I not found this thread first, what I did later would not have resulted in as much significant improvement. I used the MN for about 7 weeks. First solo and later I mixed it with drug store castor oil. Extremely thin and slick bald in some spots temple areas began to sprout fine fuzz. I then read about JBCO (jamaican black castor oil) and began to use this and noticed that the hairline continued to improve - the hairs became less fine and a little thicker. Next read about sulfur and mixed the powder with olive oil and jbco and used it daily and noticed that the hairs grew longer. Three months ago I added megatek. This mixture caused the exact results that I had read about. The weak areas began to shed and were replaced with hairs that were thicker and darker and stronger. Everything was used twice daily (morning and night). My hair is now closer to the hair that I had before the damage than it has ever been. This all began last year. My hairline is no longer embarrassing. I am so happy that I joined lhcf just so that I could say thank you and spread the word. The reason that I think that the MN was crucial is because I believe that the MN cured any bacterial or fungal issues present on the scalp and seemed to regenerate dormant and weak follicles. The jbco is a natural antifungal and antibacterial. I believe that the sulfur and the megatek fertilized and nourished the follicles to encourage the growth of stronger hair. I hope this helps someone. There is hope. I had short broken hairs as well as slick spots that were hairless but now those areas have filled in with have strong healthy hair. And my hair had been this way for YEARS.
