Okay so I did do it to my corners, hairline, temple and a bit of my forehead and the stinging sensation was strong but It wasn't intolerable i was still able to go about my day in peace! But now that I know what to expect tomorrow imma apply it to my whole head and place the swimmer cap on!
Edit: To add on i have this white ish / chalk type of ash on the areas I've applied the rose-dmso mix to.
(P.s. decided not to blow out or straighten my hair as it would just revert back due to humidity & moisture)
Update: So I'm basically a month into the Rosemary/Dmso and I gotta say whatever it's doing it's definitely doing something! So the first day I did it like I said, I had stinging and a crazy vasodilation pulsing feeling on all areas I applied it to.
One area I applied it to was basically my face like I basically traced out how exactly I want my hairline to be with the topical! And my skin did something weird on these areas, my skin on my forehead/hairline got these weird plumpy bumps *via picture 1 & 2* for like 30 minutes to a hour and then they turned back into my normal skin texture and this whitetish chalk powder formed which I was able to wipe away.
So I continued the routine using the topical back to back once daily and I started getting these flakes all over my scalp, hairline, temples, corners, EVERYWHERE another person doing this routine as well posted about this too via Capilluscodex reddit *via picture 3* and this picture represents the exact same thing I've gotten!!! So now at this point I'm even more excited because I can see CLEARLY its doing something!
And I decided to test something so the pure rosemary oil I put it over my my hairline and what not to see if I'd get the same skin/ plump bump effect and stinging. No reaction nothing happened. I then made a 50/50 magnesium and dmso topical ( which I'm now doing) and I'm not getting that stinging crazy pulsating effect at all with this! So this tells me the Rose/DMSO mixture when COMBINED causes this effect!
So what now? So as of today I've put two strand twist into my afro so I can apply topicals directly on scalp way more easily! And what imma continue doing is using the Rose-dmso mixture and the Magnesium-dmso mixture!
What I'm looking to add to not only help MAINTAIN but get REGROWTH! Imma just be real and flat out say at I'm not inhibiting dht/5ar like at all. Did it before got non- sexual sides, brain fog, short term memory ish, slow/ less dense facial hair growth, emotional sides (not exactly deepression but being dang near ready to cry) and every once in awhile id get sharp testicle/taint aches.... so yeah won't be doing that. Another thing imma flat out just say this too
Imma find someway to incorporate ESTROGEN yes I said it. Obviously I want to keep my masculinity and what not so it's a slippery Slope I'm still trying to figure out! But with how it's looking I may just get estrogel and apply it to the scalp. But I don't know if that would be enough to get regrowth that we see some of the guys over on @Bridgeburns thread get.
Another one of course oral Minoxidil!
Serratiopeptidase. Amongst many more things!
In conclusion- The mixture is doing something for sure based off the flaking and the reactions I'm getting from it on my skin! My hair loss isn't super super aggressive but I will say I first noticed changes in my hair at 11 when puberty began my corner and peaks changed! Around that age I noticed my brothers hairlines and my peers hairlines could get line ups and such but couldn't due to how irregular it got. If yall want me to I can give a full slideshow of pictures of my hair from when I was 3 years old (pre puberty) All the way up to when I cut it last year- up to now! If yall see the pictures yall definitely be able to see how my hair changed!
