Hey,
This is my first post here. I've been lurking and reading for awhile. Some backround. I'm a 25 year old white man, and I decided to grow out my hair. Last november was the last time I had buzzed it, to sand paper short, almost bald. It has been 11 1/2 months and My hair is getting pretty long.. In most places.
Around the side of my head, my hair has grown an average of 8 1/2 inches in most places, 6inch towards the bottom. However, my hair at the top and around my widows peak (it has always been far back since I was a kid) has only grown 3-4 inches in most places with the exception of my bangs in the very front which are about 6inch. The problem compounding my slow hair growth up top is that I have very curly hair on the top and I'm hoping it will straighten as it gets longer. Is there any technique to straighten it?
Anyways, I've used MN for two tubes of the CVS generic 2% brand. I've used it 2 times a day in liberal amounts, the tube last me about a week. I Use it pretty much only on the top of my head. I've also tried the lotromin spray 2% MN, and that was better for using on the sides, I don't think it was quite as effective though. I was wondering does the 4% stuff work anymore effectively? I'll probally never get it, I am just wondering, I dont have it in me to buy a womans product lol.
Anyways, I hadn't seen my girlfriend in a week and a half and she was shocked howmuch the top had grown. It went from maybe a 1/4 a month to about 1/3 an inch in that time.
My questions are about diluting the cream to make it easier to apply. I know alot of the girls on here have crazy concoctions of all kinds of oils and whatnot, I just want to use the MN. How do I mixed it with water and how much of water/mn?
Another thing, which may be of interest to you all is that I tried rogaine thinking it might make my hair grow faster, the next day I lost more hairs than I'd ever seen. I stopped and it stopped after another day.
Also, I read about the grunge movement or whatever, and stopped using shampoo with SLS and just water rinsing and conditioning maybe twice a week and I barely lose any hair when I shower or brush now. It's pretty amazing. I'd say the hair loss/breakage has decreased by 2/3. I let my hair air dry, am careful when untangling it and I dont blow dry.
I'm pretty healthy, i take a multi, extra bone builder, eat good protein, work out alot.so I got all that covered.
I've seen that head massages supposedly make your hair grow faster. I'd imagine its because it causes blood to flow up there? Why not just do a hand stand or hang off your bed at a 90 degree angle till your fast turns mad red?
