Case Study

I am a 41 year old male with Androgenetic Alopecia or Pattern Baldness (V on the chart). I am the first foreign person to try this product that until now has only been tested on Thais. I started developing a bald patch when I was 33. My father is British and my mother Dutch. Nearly all the males on my mothers side of the family have Androgenetic Alopecia. My Dad is also bald with just a little hair around the sides and back of the head (VII on the chart) although the rest of the males on his side have normal hair growth. We both too suffered from acne during adolescence, perhaps another sign of excess dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

I was introduced to this treatment by a Thai friend who knows the lady who makes it. Of course I was a little sceptical at first but my friend insisted that it worked and she herself was using the mild version of the treatment to strengthen her own long hair. The treatment had also already been tested on more than 300 female and male Thai clients with excellent results.

From the day I started using the treatment (I started with mild treatment for 2 months), it had a good feel about it and I could sense something beneficial was occurring. From the beginning of May until the end of August I diligently massaged my head with the treatment nearly every day. But I am a bit of an impatient person and towards the end of August I told my friend I was beginning to have a few doubts.

A few days later, on 21st August, I was given a small bottle containing 50ml of the extra dry treatment. I poured some onto a cotton ball and started rubbing it on my head. Almost immediately I felt a tingling, itchy sensation. I poured more onto the cotton and continued rubbing the treatment on my head. I did this 5 times during the day which in hindsight was too much, but I could feel something big was happening and I wanted results. Waxy flakes started to appear on the surface of my head and it felt like some of the substance was also flowing down inside the back of my head. I wanted to take a shower and for the next few weeks I showered several times a day.

The next day I continued with the treatment and used some extra dry too. The cold tap water in the basin turned green as I spent more than one hour doing treatment. With each rinsing I could feel tiny waxy granules and some hard, sand like, granules as they came out from my scalp pores. But I overdid the treatment on these two days because I started to feel nauseas and on the third day my scalp became unbearably itchy. I couldn’t sleep because of the itchiness and had to run down to the local shop to buy some coconut oil. The oil helped and I was able to get some sleep.

The following day I decided to stop treatment for a few days. After the pause, for the following 3 weeks, until 11th September, I did 20 hours or 1200 minutes of treatment.

White, waxy, flakes appeared on the surface of my head

As the waxy substance comes out, new hair growth appears. The above pictures show new hair growth after just 8 hours of treatment spread over 6 days. I bent my head over the wash basin to allow more of the substance to leave my body via the scalp pores. Treatment time = 480 minutes.

* Note: Treatment time from 12th Sept. to 10th Dec. involved the following procedure done bent over a wash basin: Wetting hair, applying treatment, massaging for some time, rinsing with the water in the wash basin, re-applying treatment, massaging for some time, rinsing with the water in the wash basin, re-applying treatment, massaging for some time, rinsing with the water in the wash basin etc. etc. for the treatment duration.

12th Sept: Treatment time = 150 minutes.
13th Sept: Treatment time = 245 minutes.
The 13th was a big day. Much more of the waxy substance came out from the scalp pores today. I am eating lots of bananas and oysters about twice a week.

2nd Oct: For the past 2 mornings I have been able to rub some of the waxy substance out from my scalp while taking my morning shower. With the shower water flowing over my head I rub the fringe areas quite hard and can feel the waxy substance coming out the scalp pores. After the shower my scalp felt dry so I used some more coconut oil.
3rd Oct: Treatment time = 150 minutes.
4th Oct: Treatment time = 100 minutes.

7th Dec: Treatment time = 20 minutes.
8th Dec: Treatment time = 20 minutes.
9th Dec: Treatment time = 40 minutes.
10th Dec: Treatment time = 100 minutes. I had the great pleasure of speaking with the lady who makes the treatment today. She was surprised to hear that it was taking such a long time for new hair growth to appear but did comment that my hair was finer than the hair of Thai people. She advised me to simply leave the treatment on my head for up to 3 hours per session, with maximum 2 sessions possible each day. 'Treatment time' from now on therefore =  the time with the treatment on my head under a shower cap (unless otherwise mentioned).

11th Dec: Treatment time = 100 minutes. 2 sessions + rinsing time
12th Dec: Treatment time = 205 minutes. 2 sessions + rinsing time
13th Dec: Treatment time = 150 minutes. 1 session + rinsing time
14th Dec: Treatment time = 210 minutes. 1 session + rinsing time
15th Dec: Treatment time = 150 minutes. 1 session + rinsing time
16th Dec: Treatment time = 180 minutes. 1 session + rinsing time
17th Dec: Treatment time = 180 minutes. 1 session + rinsing time
18th Dec: Treatment time = 150 minutes. 1 session + rinsing time
19th Dec: Treatment time = 240 minutes. 2 sessions + rinsing time
20th Dec: Treatment time = 240 minutes. 2 sessions + 30 minutes rinsing under a cold shower. During rinsing I focus on rubbing the fringe areas to push out the waxy substance. The fringe area is the circular 'line' where the bald patch meets the hair.

21st Dec: No regular treatment today. Used some extra dry in the morning. Showered at 3pm. Lots of waxy and hard granules came out as I rinsed my head under the shower. Applied more extra dry at 5pm. Things are moving forward very quickly at the moment all due to leaving the treatment on the head for much longer.
22nd Dec: Treatment time = 150 minutes. 1 session + rinsing time approx. 20 minutes. In the shower this morning I again noticed how much of the waxy substance I was able to massage out from the scalp pores particularly on the top 'halo' where the majority of the substance remains. The patty is slowly getting smaller. As already mentioned, the waxy substance can be rubbed out from the scalp pores with effective massage.
25th to 28th Dec: Used extra dry treatment every day. No regular treatment due to holidays.
29th Dec: Treatment time = 180 minutes. 1 session.
30th Dec: Treatment time = 70 minutes. 1 session. Trimmed hair to approx. 1mm length. Rubbed on some extra dry treatment before going to bed.
31st Dec: Treatment time = 120 minutes. 1 session.
1st Jan: Treatment time = 120 minutes. 1 session.
3rd Jan: Treatment time = 120 minutes. 1 session.
6th Jan: Treatment time = 120 minutes. 1 session.
8th Jan: Treatment time = 180 minutes. 1 session. The beauty with this treatment is that one can feel the beneficial changes to the scalp long before new hair appears.
10th Jan: Treatment time = 120 minutes. 1 session.
11th Jan: Treatment time = 180 minutes. 1 session. These days I sometimes just go into the bathroom to rinse my head with cold water and every time I am able to rub away more waxy granules even without using treatment.
13th Jan: Treatment time = 180 minutes. 1 session.
14th Jan: Treatment time = 150 minutes + 120 minutes. 2 sessions.
15th Jan: Rinsed under the shower for over one hour just allowing cold water over my head and rubbing away the waxy substance. Used some regular treatment but just put it on for about 10 minutes before lots more rinsing and rubbing.
16th Jan: Rinsed under shower again for about 40 minutes. This can be quite water consuming! I hold the shower head in one hand and rub / massage with the other hand. As the waxy patty gets smaller I can feel the changes to my scalp on a daily basis.
17th Jan: Rinsed under the shower for 20 + 20 minutes.
18th Jan: Treatment time = 180 minutes. 1 session.
19th Jan: Rinsed under the shower for 15 + 15 minutes.
20th Jan: Treatment time = 150 minutes. 1 session.
22nd Jan: Treatment time = 120 minutes. 1 session. Trimmed hair to approx. 1mm length.
23rd Jan: Treatment time = 180 minutes. 1 session. Lots of rubbing and rinsing too. Things are moving forward very nicely.
24th Jan: Treatment time = 210 minutes. 1 session. Used the wooden comb with wider bristles to very gently comb the area to keep scalp pores open with some treatment on head.
25th Jan: Rubbed the fringe areas quite hard under cold flowing water. I think it's better to use flowing water rather than water in a basin but it's more water consuming this way.
26th Jan: Treatment time = 150 minutes. 1 session. Didn't use a shower cap this time. Wet hair under flowing cold water, applied treatment, rubbed / massaged head, rinsed under flowing cold water. Did this 3 times. I am pleased my hair is short as it is easier to access the scalp.
27th Jan: Treatment time = 100 minutes + 120 minutes. 2 sessions. Rubbed and rinsed 3 times and then used the shower cap for 2nd session.
28th Jan: Treatment time = 180 minutes. Rubbed quite firmly in circular motion after applying treatment and then left treatment on head under shower cap. Loads of waxy & hard granules came out. The right side of my head seems to be more clear of waxy substance than the left side so I am concentrating more on that area. I am still using the wooden comb with wide bristles to gently comb with treatment on head and also combing a lot these days between treatment time.
29th Jan: Treatment time = 60 minutes. 20 minutes rubbing & massaging under flowing cold water and then applied treatment. Rubbed / massaged again in the evening under cold shower for 30 minutes.
30th Jan: Treatment time = 120 minutes and then rubbing / massaging for 30 minutes under cold shower.
31st Jan: Just rinsed under cold shower for about 20 minutes.
1st Feb: Treatment time = 120 minutes. Rubbed under cold shower for 10 minutes. Applied treatment for 20 minutes. Lots of treatment seems to enter scalp pores. Massaged gently, applied more treatment, massaged gently, applied more treatment. Left on head with shower cap & small towel (used as head band) for 120 minutes. Then rinsed and rubbed for 20 minutes under cold shower. Things are feeling great on top. I still comb a lot during the day between treatment, gently raking the lawn so to speak. When my head is very moist I can feel the patty of waxy substance under the skin. It is still quite large (possibly 2 or 3mm thick) but definitely getting thinner and smaller. What is interesting is that the patty encompasses the area on top where the visible bald patch is, and it also extends down the back of the head to the neck. So, during balding, while the areas are very slowly filling up on top with the waxy substance, some of this substance is probably seeping down into the body! I have very mild arthritis that seems to be improving. Is there a connection due to the fact there is less waxy substance seeping into my body? Is Pattern Baldness really a benign condition?
2nd Feb: No regular treatment today, just 20 minutes rinsing under cold shower.
3rd Feb: Treatment time = 150 minutes. 15 minutes wetting head & rubbing, then treatment for 150 minutes, then rinsing & rubbing for 15 minutes. Loads of waxy granules came out while rinsing.
4th Feb: Hair grows approx. 0.4mm per day so it sometimes feels appropriate to have a rest for a day or 2. This allows the re-awakened roots a little time to strengthen. With gentle combing and under the shower (I used tepid water today), the waxy substance still leaves the body. The bristles on my comb get visibly dusty very quickly when combing over dry hair these days.
5th Feb: Just rinsing & rubbing lightly for 20 minutes under cold shower.
6th Feb: Treatment time = 150 minutes. 20 minutes rinsing & rubbing under cold water and then 15 minutes applying treatment. As already mentioned, quite a lot of treatment seems to enter the scalp pores. 25 minutes rinsing and rubbing after leaving treatment on head.
7th Feb: Treatment time = 100 minutes. 30 minutes rinsing, rubbing and applying treatment and 15 minutes rinsing and rubbing after leaving treatment on head.
9th Feb: Treatment time = 120 minutes. 20 minutes rinsing, rubbing and applying treatment and 30 minutes rinsing and rubbing after leaving treatment on head. I should note that rinsing and rubbing are done at the same time. One hand holds the shower head and the other hand rubs / massages. I usually rub with my index finger only, moving my hand in a circular motion (anti-clockwise with my right hand and clockwise with my left hand). By having the cold water flowing exactly over the area I am rubbing / massaging I can apply more pressure to squeeze out the waxy substance. Sometimes, once my head is nice and moist from the cold shower water, I apply treatment and then rub / massage straight away but this method uses up more treatment.
10th Feb: Just rinsing and rubbing under a cold shower for 20 mins.
11th Feb: Just rinsing and rubbing under a cold shower for 20 mins.
12th Feb: Just rinsing and rubbing under a cold shower for 20 mins.
13th Feb: Treatment time = 120 minutes. 15 minutes rinsing, rubbing and applying treatment and 20 minutes rinsing and rubbing after leaving treatment on head. Sometimes I adjust the water temperature very slightly to lukewarm and notice a different sensation on my index fingers when rubbing. Warmer water is ok to rub and rinse before applying treatment but when washing treatment away I rinse only with cold or very slightly tepid water.
14th Feb: Rinsing and rubbing under a cold shower for 15 minutes in the morning and again in the evening.
15th Feb: Treatment time = 120 minutes. 15 minutes rinsing, rubbing and applying treatment and 30 minutes rinsing and rubbing after leaving treatment on head.
16th Feb: Rinsing and rubbing under a cold shower for 15 minutes in the morning and again in the evening.
17th Feb: Treatment time = 120 minutes. 15 minutes rinsing, rubbing and applying treatment and 15 minutes rinsing and rubbing after leaving treatment on head. I am rubbing harder these days trying to squeeze more of this stuff out.
18th Feb: Treatment time = 160 minutes. 20 minutes rinsing, rubbing and applying treatment and 30 minutes rinsing and rubbing after leaving treatment on head.
19th Feb: Treatment time = 120 minutes. 15 minutes rinsing, rubbing and applying treatment and 20 minutes rinsing and rubbing after leaving treatment on head. Rinsing and rubbing under a cold shower for 20 minutes in the evening but I rubbed too hard today because my head is a bit red in places. Will rest for a day or 2.
21st Feb: No treatment today but trimmed hair again to approx. 1mm.
22nd Feb: Treatment time = 135 minutes. 15 minutes rinsing, rubbing and applying treatment and 20 minutes rinsing and rubbing after leaving treatment on head. I scratched in one area and drew a drop of blood which was a silly mistake.
23rd Feb: Day off due to sore area on head. Don't scratch!
24th Feb: Treatment time = 100 minutes. 30 minutes rinsing, rubbing, applying treatment & then rubbing again and 15 minutes rinsing and rubbing after leaving treatment on head.
25th Feb: Treatment time = 110 minutes. 60 minutes rinsing, rubbing, applying treatment & then rubbing again and 15 minutes rinsing and rubbing after leaving treatment on head. By wetting the hair very thoroughly first, the pores open and become more receptive to the treatment. Now that I am getting close to the top of my head in terms of removing the waxy patty, it is easier to rub and push some of the waxy substance out via the scalp pores. My head is feeling very clean and getting fresher by the day. It's very comforting to be able to feel firm new white hairs appearing all around the top of my head. I used quite a lot of treatment today because I kept re-applying treatment after rubbing / massaging / pushing which I did for 1 hour.
26th Feb: No shower cap today. 30 minutes rinsing, rubbing & applying treatment before rubbing & massaging again straight away.
27th Feb: Same as yesterday, no shower cap. Just 30 minutes rinsing, rubbing & applying treatment before rubbing & massaging again straight away.
1st March: Tried a different technique today. Instead of leaving treatment on head under the shower cap, I left treatment on head and continued to massage. Did this for 120 minutes. It does feel like more waxy substance comes out of the scalp pores this way.
2nd March:  Did the same as yesterday & just continued to massage with the treatment on the head after making the head nice and moist. Did this for 60 minutes.
3rd March: Treatment time = 140 minutes. 30 minutes rinsing, rubbing and applying treatment and then put the shower cap on for 140 minutes. 15 minutes rinsing afterwards.
4th March: Treatment time = 60 minutes. 15 minutes rinsing, rubbing and applying treatment before putting shower cap on and 15 minutes rinsing afterwards.
5th March:  Did the same as on the 1st and 2nd of this month. 120 minutes applying treatment & then massaging immediately. No shower cap.
6th March: Treatment time = 90 minutes. 30 minutes rinsing, rubbing and applying treatment and another 100 minutes rinsing & re-applying treatment after taking off shower cap.
7th March: Treatment time = 80 minutes. 40 minutes rinsing, rubbing and applying treatment before putting shower cap on and 20 minutes rinsing afterwards.
8th March: Treatment time = 90 minutes. 80 minutes rinsing, rubbing and applying treatment before putting shower cap on and 85 minutes rinsing afterwards.
9th March: Trimmed hair to approx. 1mm. Did the same as on the 1st, 2nd & 5th of this month. 160 minutes applying treatment & then massaging immediately. No shower cap.
10th March: Did the same as yesterday. 80 minutes applying treatment & then massaging immediately. No shower cap. It is interesting to see & feel the process of hair loss gradually reversing. The balding person experiences the miniaturization of the hairs before they disappear under the waxy substance. With this treatment process, the previously blocked pores first re-open & then tiny white hairs appear creating a fuzz on the previously flat surface.
11th March: Did the same as yesterday. 120 minutes applying treatment & then massaging immediately. No shower cap. As the circular patty gets smaller & smaller the process speeds up because the volume of wax becomes less & less. It certainly feels like things are moving forward at a quicker pace these days.
12th March: Did the same as yesterday. 60 minutes applying treatment & then massaging immediately. No shower cap. Still feel some hard granules popping out from the scalp pores along with the waxy substance but they are smaller than before.
13th March: Did the same as yesterday. 120 minutes applying treatment & then massaging immediately. No shower cap. Repeated again in the evening for 70 minutes. Loads of waxy & hard granules came out.
14th March: Treatment time = just 15 minutes with cap on. 120 minutes rinsing, rubbing and applying treatment before putting shower cap on and 15 minutes rinsing afterwards. The patty is getting smaller & smaller & more & more scalp pores are appearing. The only testament to the presence of a living hair follicle is a scalp pore.
15th March: Did the same as on the 13th. 90 minutes applying treatment & then massaging immediately. No shower cap.
16th March: Treatment time = just 15 minutes with cap on. 130 minutes rinsing, rubbing and applying treatment before putting shower cap on and 15 minutes rinsing afterwards.
17th March: No shower cap. 150 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging.
18th March: No shower cap. 120 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. The moment the treatment touches my moist head I can feel the waxy substance oozing out. And now the waxy substance also comes out from the very middle of the bald patch rather than just the fringe areas.
19th March: No shower cap. 120 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. As I massage I can feel scores & scores of hard granules as they leave via the scalp pores along with the waxy substance. Used some mild treatment in the evening for 30 minutes & still felt lots of hard granules as they made their exit.
20th March: No treatment today, day off. I am very eager, perhaps too eager, to do treatment very frequently for long periods but it should be noted that the Thai people who have already been cured with this treatment were able to see results much faster and with much less treatment time. We know the hair is a little different with Asian people and of course it is very likely I have more waxy substance too.
21st March: No shower cap. 230 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. Big session! There is a growing fuzz of tiny new white hairs all over the previously bald area that are difficult to see but easy to feel. Looking carefully, one can see more scalp pores starting to appear as the waxy substance clears.

22nd March: No shower cap. 185 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. Things are going very well but I am going through treatment quite quickly at the moment too. Rubbed some Thai balm (made from Eucalyptus oil) on my head before going to bed to soothe & strengthen the skin.
23rd March: No shower cap. 170 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging.
24th March: No shower cap. 145 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging.
25th March: No shower cap. 150 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging.
26th March: No shower cap. 140 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging.
27th March: No shower cap. 150 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. The fuzz of tiny new white hairs is getting denser.
28th March: No shower cap. 165 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. With each passing day I can feel the softness of the bald patch firming up as more & more waxy & hard granules are squeezed out by the treatment.
29th March: No shower cap. 70 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging.
30th March: Trip to Kuala Lumpur for work permit visa but I took some treatment with me.
31st March: No shower cap. 150 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging.
1st April: No shower cap. 100 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging.
2nd April: 320 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. Put the shower cap on for 15 minutes half way through the big session.
3rd April: 210 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. Another big session. Used the wooden comb with wide bristles. With the treatment on, I very gently comb over the remaining hair and bald patch. The volume of waxy substance leaving via the scalp pores seems to decrease the longer the session goes on. No shower cap.
4th April: 170 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. Same routine as yesterday, used the wooden comb to gently comb with the treatment on my head. It takes 10 to 15 minutes of wetting the head & applying treatment to get it moist enough & then a greater volume of waxy & hard granules exits via scalp pores. No shower cap.
5th April: 80 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging in the morning and 60 minutes of the same in the evening after trimming hair to approx. 1mm length. No shower cap.
6th April: 165 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging in the morning and 120 minutes of the same in the afternoon. No shower cap.
7th April: A huge day! 140 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging, then 100 minutes with the shower cap on, then 75 minutes massaging & then 130 minutes with the shower cap on again before finally rinsing. It seemed like the most amount of waxy substance came out today compared with all the other days.
8th April: Another big day with loads of waxy granules leaving via the scalp pores. 60 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging, then 90 minutes with the shower cap on, then 60 minutes massaging & then 85 minutes with the shower cap, then 90 minutes massaging before finally rinsing.
9th April: 45 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. 110 minutes with the shower cap on. 100 minutes massaging before final rinsing.
10th April: 85 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. 45 minutes with the shower cap on. 30 minutes massaging before final rinsing. I went for a long swim in the afternoon, something I haven't done for a while. When I came back home I wet my head again and applied treatment. Loads of waxy granules came out which surprised me. Was it because my head had been kept wet for so long in the pool ?
11th April: After another swim in the pool, 40 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. 120 minutes with the shower cap on before final rinsing. Not as much waxy substance came out this session but I only swam for 1 hour vs 2 yesterday. Did another 110 minutes of applying treatment & massaging in the evening after submerging top of head in the wash basin for 20 minutes. Quite a lot of waxy substance came out.
12th April: 55 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging after a 1 hour swim in the pool. Noticed 2 thin red lines on my back! No shower cap.
13th to 15th April: Songkran Holidays. Only 90 minutes of treatment during this time (without shower cap).
16th April: 150 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. No shower cap.
17th April: Trimmed hair to approx. 1mm. 120 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging before swimming & 90 minutes of the same after swimming. Rubbed some Thai balm (made from Eucalyptus oil) on the lines on my back. No shower cap.
18th April: No treatment today. Just monitoring the lines on my back which have turned brownish in colour. A red rash has also appeared on my left shoulder. It looks like I have been hit with a cricket ball in that area but it does not hurt or itch. It's just a little dry.
19th April: No treatment today.
20th April: 120 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. I feel a little tired but the top of my head feels great. Lots of tiny new white hairs are springing up all over the place! No shower cap.
21st April: 60 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. The lines on my back & the rash on my shoulder are starting to disappear. No shower cap.
22nd April: 60 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. Did another 155 minutes of applying treatment & massaging in the afternoon. No shower cap.
23rd April: 40 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. No shower cap.
24th April: 120 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. Did rinse with water a couple of times during this session before re-applying treatment. I should mention that while doing treatment I burp and urinate more frequently! Did another 90 minutes of applying treatment & massaging in the evening. No shower cap.
25th April: Used some extra dry treatment in the morning before going for a swim. I haven't used extra dry since 30th December and want to monitor the possible effects again. After swimming did 90 minutes of wetting head, applying treatment & massaging and another 80 minutes of the same in the evening. I can feel changes to the waxy patty under my scalp  every day. No shower cap.
26th April: 60 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. Then 120 minutes with the shower cap on followed by 60 minutes massaging and applying more treatment. Used some extra dry two times today.
27th April: 90 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging after a long swim. The waxy substance seems to be coming out in better volumes. Is this because I have started using the extra dry treatment again ? The lines on my back & the rash on my shoulder have now disappeared. No shower cap.
28th April: 80 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. Extra dry applied three times today. No shower cap.
29th April: 190 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. Went to Mae Rim waterfall today for the 1st time. It was interesting sitting with my head under the gushing water and massaging some of the waxy substance away. Did another 120 minutes of applying treatment & massaging in the evening. No shower cap.
30th April: 60 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. Then 40 minutes with the shower cap on followed by 90 minutes massaging & final rinsing. Extra dry applied two times today.
1st May: 40 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. Then 60 minutes with the shower cap on followed by 205 minutes massaging with more treatment & final rinsing. A huge session, perhaps the biggest so far. Loads of wax and loads of hard granules came out. When I say 'loads' I estimate several hundred tiny hard granules and of course lots of wax that is harder to measure. Extra dry three times today.
I am letting my hair grow for a while i.e. I am not trimming it to approx. 1mm like before.
2nd May: 90 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. Applied extra dry four times during the course of the day. Another 90 minutes regular treatment in the evening.
3rd May: 105 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. Then 35 minutes with the shower cap on followed by 145 minutes massaging with more treatment & final rinsing. Massaging the hair for long periods can cut into the fingers. I also use my middle fingers the most these days when massaging because I can feel the granules better than with my index fingers.
4th May: 80 minutes wetting head, applying treatment & massaging. Noticed some tiny white hairs in my hands while massaging so have decided to stop treatment for a few days to allow the roots to strengthen and will probably switch to the mild treatment for a while. Extra dry three times today.
6th May: 60 minutes wetting head, applying mild treatment & massaging. Did another 45 minutes mild treatment in the evening. No white hairs came out.
7th May: 40 minutes wetting head, applying mild treatment & massaging. Did another 40 minutes mild treatment in the evening. No white hairs came out, just lots of waxy lumps.
8th May: 120 minutes wetting head, applying mild treatment & massaging. Did another 20 minutes mild treatment in the afternoon but noticed a few more white hairs in my hands. Will stop treatment for a few days.
11th May: 150 minutes wetting head, applying mild treatment & massaging. One thing that has continually amazed me during this entire treatment process is the huge volume of waxy, fatty & hard granules that have come out from my scalp pores. It is no wonder the hair cannot grow with all this stuff surrounding it. I am beginning to feel the profiles of the scalp pores in the centre of the bald patch as more and more of the substance clears. Extra dry twice today.
13th May: 100 minutes wetting head, applying mild treatment & massaging. Did another 100 minutes mild treatment in the afternoon too. Some quite large pieces of waxy substance are coming out at the moment. Extra dry twice today.
14th May: 130 minutes wetting head, applying mild treatment & massaging. The remaining waxy patty is getting noticeably smaller every day. Extre dry once today.
15th May: 90 minutes wetting head, applying mild treatment & massaging.
16th May: Just applied some extra dry today, twice.
17th May: 30 minutes wetting head, applying mild treatment & massaging. Then shower cap on for 30 minutes followed by 40 minutes massaging with more treatment. Noticed a few tiny white hairs in my hands so will pause treatment for a while.
20th May: 85 minutes wetting head, applying mild treatment & massaging. Noticed 2 tiny white hairs in my hands but, nevertheless, my hair does feel stronger. The volume of waxy substance coming out at the moment is quite amazing, some pieces as big as 1mm² but I can still feel a lot of of the substance remains under the scalp especially in the centre of the bald patch. As the wax comes out in increasing quantities, new hair appears at an increasing pace but they are small white hairs that will need time to strengthen and darken.

22nd May: 120 minutes wetting head, applying mild treatment & massaging. Excellent session with loads of wax & hard granules coming out. Many of the hard granules look like black dots! No white hairs came out today so pausing treatment from time to time seems sensible.
25th May: 100 minutes wetting head, applying mild treatment & massaging. The patty is getting smaller and smaller.
28th May: 50 minutes wetting head, applying mild treatment & massaging. Noticed a few tiny white hairs in my hands again so will pause for a while. I did talk to the lady who makes the treatment about the tiny white hairs coming out and she said this is no problem providing there are not too many coming out. She said they are just a few of the weaker hairs and again emphasised the importance of not using hot water which of course I never use. I am not trimming my hair at the moment and just letting it grow to see and feel if there is a difference when doing treatment with longer hair vs very short hair.
31st May: Have just done some adding up of the treatment volume I have used to date. Regular & mild treatment 25.5 litres (34 x 750ml bottles) plus 480ml Extra dry treatment. It's a lot of treatment and a lot of time but it works!
