On July 12th, I noticed a bald patch that was later diagnosed as alopecia areata. I went to a dermatologist, got a cortisone injection and was prescribed a topical steroid to use. I waited and waited for my hair to grow back as I applied the topical steroid everyday for the recommended two weeks. The patch remained completely bald with no signs of regrowth whatsoever. I recently began using my version of the moegrowth recipe (4 oz jojoba oil, 1 oz horsetail, 1 oz nettle, 2 oz of aloe vera gel, and about 1/4 oz of rosemary oil) on the rest of my head that was not bald and was careful to avoid my bald spot. Well about a week ago (8/01/08), I began using the mogrow on my bald spot as well because I figured I was already bald there, so what could it hurt? Well.....guess what?!?!?! Tuesday (8/05/08) I noticed sprouts of new hairs in my bald spot!!!!!!! In less than a week of using moegrow, the spot went from being completely bald to thinly covered in tiny new hairs. Its not covered completely like the rest of my scalp, but it is covered enough so that if the new hairs that have grown continue to grow and catch up with the rest of my scalp, it would look like I have a thin area of hair, rather than a shiny bald spot.
I attribute the regrowth of my hair to moegrow for a couple of reasons:
1. When I started using the moegrow in the bald spot, my scalp began to tingle. This tingling was not like the sensation you feel after using peppermint oil but like the feeling you get if you see something scary or strange and your scalp starts to tingle on its own. I feel like the recipe, with the aid of the rosemary oil, increased the circulation to that area of my scalp and caused some regrowth
2. I did some research on treatments for alopecia areata and a lot of the sites and published journal articles that I read said that topical steroids may not be an effective treatment for alopecia because the molecules are too large to penetrate the scalp. The cream that I had was very thick and even though it was supposed to disappear, it just seemed to cake up on my scalp
3. The hair on the rest of my head seems to be growing in a lot thicker. At first I was hesitant to claim that growth was being caused by the mogrow recipe, but since I have seen growth in a bald patch of my scalp, I am inclined to believe it works.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying 'oh, oh I grew 3 inches of hair in two days with this recipe' In fact, I have not been measuring my growth because I have been so consumed with trying to grow back hair in my bald spot. What I am saying is that moegrow has caused me to see progress in an area that is important to me, which is filling in this wide open space in my head. It is possible that the cortisone injection and/or the topical steroid cream helped my hair to grow back. It is also possible that my hair could simply have grown back because I have been praying almost obsessively for some progress. However, after I noticed the spot, and while I was using the treatments provided by the dermatologist, my hair was thinning progressively near that area in a few places and I believe that they too would have eventually become bald. It was not until I started using the moegrow that the hair loss stopped spreading and that new hairs began growing in the bald spot and the thinning areas.
I can't say that the moegrow will cause you to grow x amount of hair in y amount of time, so I don't want anyone to get those expectations from reading this post. What I can say for sure is that after I started using the moegrow recipe, my hair has grown back in an area that was bald due to alopecia areata. Therefore, I know the growth is real and not imagined. I have had bald spots years ago due to chemicals not being properly washed out of my hair and those bald spots began to fill in with new hairs within a few days. Because of the duration of the baldness, the diagnosis by my dermatologist and certain statements that were made by him, I am inclined to believe that this type of hair loss is different from times past and that the hairs were not going to grow back on their own anytime soon.
