So, last night I got the first indication that weekly amla, fenugreek and aloe vera mask are working for me. Also, I suspect the itchies I had were actually from New growth and not from using the Belle Bar Onion & Garlic oil.
I have a number of short hairs (about an inch or so) in each quadrant of hair. I know it's not from breakage (I check with each treatment) and it is not shedding (my shedding has dramatically decreased since I started using henna again). So now I'm excited as my crown APPEARS to be filling in with hair and I can see less scalp.
As always, this reinforces my belief that is not necessarily a specific product but consistent application or use and tracking results.
