August 16 - Day 84
Today marks the completion of 12 weeks of the hair growth regime that I decided to try out back in May. My hair has continued to grow at what seems to be a slow rate but, much faster than months before. As stated previously, no measurements were taken however, the growth is all by feel. Some very think areas where hair broke off are filling in with new and thick hairs, the longer strands are growing longer and fewer found in the comb. The results seem to be promising so I will stick with the day to day regime and no longer report as it is not necessary.
My take away from this is that aside from seeing hair growth, I do not know which was the main contributing factor in the assistance. I cannot tell if it is because of the Mineral Rich, mixture of miconozale and castor oil, the castor oil or Aphogee products. What I do know is that the combination of all helps and it shows. Since my eyebrows are having great difficulty growing in, I will try to find a way to change this and report about the progress, should there be any.

Week 12
August 9-15 Days 77-83
This week has been no exception to those previous but I have noticed a little length in all areas of my head. I decided to start the miconazole without mixing with any oil and applying it full strength since I never have experienced headaches. My eyebrows stopped growing in but at full strength, hopefully this will change. Fingers crossed!!!!!

Week 10
July 26- August 1 Days 64-70
Still nothing new to report other than the new growth is really thick as it was when I was a child. It is too short to break any combs but once longer, this may change.

Week 7
July 5 - Day 43
This Sunday I used the Aphogee Therapy and Reconstructive Moisturizer as it was due six weeks after the last. I will continue the daily regime as usual for the remainder of the week.
July 6-11 Days 44-49
Still noticing less and less hair breakage and in the comb. I think this regiment is working. I least I hope so.

Week 6
June 29-July 4 Days 36-42
Six weeks into this regime so far and the only changes noticed are the thin areas are fuller, less hair breakages and a few more hair have grown on my eyebrows. Up until last week, the Mineral Rich had me sleeping regularly throughout the evening without interruption. The last few days have been interrupted because it was hot and humid here for about six days. Now that it is cool again, I hope the regularity returns.

Week 5
June 22 - Day 29
Today is Sunday, and as usual, I washed and conditioned my hair as usual. I towel dried it and applied the leave-in conditioner, combed it through a bit and noticed only a few strands of hair on the comb. I let it air dry then massaged my scalp with a brush for a few minutes then applied a light coat of the miconazole mixture. It is now pretty much a full strength mixture since I never added any more oils. I pinned my hair back, put on a scarf and called it a night.
June 23 - Day 30
No headaches throughout the night or morning came on with this mixture on my scalp. Again, while combing, there was notice of very little hair in the comb. I am really starting to think the shedding is over and the strength growing is really starting to happen. Before going out for the day, I sprayed on a little Infusium 23, combed and lightly brushed my hair and pinned it up. Before going to bed, I applied castor oil to my scalp and put on a scarf.
June 24-28 - Days 31-35
I stuck to the usual regime as weeks before however, on Thursday, I used the miconazole to my scalp and carried on as usual. The only changes I seem to find are in the areas where my hair broke off and felt very thin, fullness has come about. Since I have not seen the differences, only feel them, it is uncertain if the hairs are thickening or the area is filling in. Again, time will tell.

Week 4
June 13-20 Days 22-28
Same routine as weeks previous. Very little breaking and shedding has occurred to my hair and a few more eyebrow hairs have surfaced. They are growing in slower than slow but are coming in. Apply the miconozale full strength no effect on me other than that of slow growth.

Week 3
June 7 -13 Days 15-21
This week will be the same as previous weeks only I have decided to apply the miconizale at full strength because the few new eyebrow hairs are appearing to grow longer by the day.
After washing and applying leave-in conditioner on Thursday, I noticed only a few strands in the comb post comb through.

Week 2
May 31 - Day 8
I awoke, having no headaches so all is well. While showering, I washed my hair with Aphogee shampoo and conditioner. After applying the conditioner, I let it set for 5 minutes instead of two. While rinsing, I noticed little hair on my hands. Same as when I combed through the leave-in conditioner. After cleaning my face, I applied the miconizale mixture to my eyebrows and temples. I am noticing a few hair growing that were not present before.
June 1 - 6 Days 9-14
I followed the same regime as last week and have noticed less scalp itching since I am applying castor oil every other day. My eyebrows are slowly coming in and hopefully will continue. The temples still are bare but like the hair, need patience and time. I am still massaging my scalp with a toothbrush and am noticing less and less hair in the comb. This could be because no more is breaking or all that the breaking is done. Nonetheless, I hope that the new stuff grows with strength, not to repeat history.

Week One
May 25 - Day 2
I had no headache or migraine after applying the miconazole mixture to my eyebrows or temples so after thoroughly washing my face, I applied another layer. This will be done again tonight.
My hair and scalp were dry so I feed them castor oil with neem and massaged my scalp for a few minutes. Since I was not leaving the house, I combed and clipped it back.
Mineral Rich was taken the same as day one but with three tablespoons of aloe vera juice added. Like yesterday, I had gas but not nearly as much. Since my food consumption is mostly light and plant based passing gas was not offensive and I did not have to cut any stench with candles or incense.
May 26 - Day 3
Same process as yesterday with less gas and no headache.
May 27 - Day 4
Same as yesterday. I sprayed Infusium 23 Leave-in conditioning spray to moisturize my hair then applied castor oil to my scalped, massaged, combed, brushed and clipped back. Later in the evening, I brushed my scalp with a toothbrush for circulation. Also brushed my eyebrows and temples before applying the miconazole mixture.
May 28 - Day 5
Drank Mineral Rich and took vitamins as usual and had no headache from the miconazole. I massaged my head for a few minutes for circulation and rested for a few hours before washing it. I used Aphogee Shampoo and Conditioner, leaving on for 10 minutes instead of the 2 minutes suggested. Once towel dried, I rubbed in a leave-in conditioner, combed it through and brushed my scalp before clipping it back. Before going to bed, I washed my face as usual with Cetaphil facial ccleanser, toned with witch hazel and applied the miconazole mixture to my eyebrows and temples.
May 29 - Day 6
Still no headache. My hair and scalp were as usual, dry as the Mojave Desert so I applied castor oil on my hair and scalp before drank and took my vitamins. So far this regimen is easy because I like morning routines but since I drink so much water with the Mineral Rich, I find myself pissing before I can set down the cup. It reminds me of the days when I was drinking six liters of water per day and was always on the pot. I am not complaining! Being an impatient person, I often wonder when results will appear, especially on my eyebrows and temples.
May 30 - Day 7
No changes in my daily routine however I have noticed less and less breakage. The first week of this brought no immediate results and I am functioning like usual. The weeks to come will be no different other than time progression.

The project begins!
I purchased five Aphogee products (Nurtitional Supplement for Healthy Hair, Balancing Moisturizer, Shampoo for Damage Hair, Two Minute Reconstructor, Two Step Protein Treatment) from Amazon.com, Mineral Rich from eVitamins.com and Up&Up miconazole from Target.
For the next two months, my plan is tomuse the hair care products as instructed on the bottles and boxes, drink Mineral Rich and apply miconazole on my half way balding eyebrows and temples with the hope of some new hair growth.
May 24 - Day 1/Week 1
Reading that Mineral Rich has the same wiring effects as caffeine, I decided to take it early in the morning so that I would be able to sleep at night. In a full glass of water, I poured in two tablespoons of Mineral Rich, took a few sips then more to help chase down my daily supplements, which include Aphogee Nutritional Supplement for Healthy Hair and Biotin.
I washed with Aphogee Shampoo for Damageed Hair while in the shower and wrapped a towel around my head to get out a lot of moisture. I then put in the Two Step Protein Treatment and used a hand dryer for 15 minutes until crispy dry. I forgot how sticky and stinky this stuff can be but it is tolerable. I let it sit for an additional 30 minutes before rinsing out completely. The last step was to use the Aphogee Balancing Moisturizer which sat for 10 minutes before rinsing. I towel dried for 15 minutes before coming and adding a MegaGrowth Profectiv Leave-In Strengthener. Since my hair was wet, I just combed it with a argan infused wide tooth comb to half-way style and clipped it back.
Before going to bed, I applied the miconazole mixture (half tube of miconazole, 1 tbsp. Castor oil, 1 tsp. vitamin E oil and ten drops of Neem oil) to my eyebrows and temples. Reading that miconazole can cause migraines, applying it at night was my best bet so that I could sleep one off.

Help it grow and give it strength, please!
In the last few months, for some reason my hair has been breaking off like mad. It feels and looks like a few animals have been fighting on my head. Ick! I do not know what is going on but this is not the first time this has happened to me. My hair grows very slowly and has less strength than an ant so I cannot do too much with it other than deal or chop it off. I have decided to deal with it but try a new regime to get it to grow and stop breaking. After doing a lot of online research from others in the same predicament, I purchased a few repair products by Aphogee and two bottles of Mineral Rich liquid vitamin supplement that is said to bring energy, clear skin and assist in hair growth. I am open for all three but am hoping most for hair growth and/or improvements. I will follow the regime for at least for two months and see if there are any significant changes. My fingers are crossed!!!!
