I decided to start an official journal for my road to scalp and hair recovery. I'm 38 at a Norwood 2 with diffused thinning on top.
My hair became a primary source of confidence starting in my younger 20's. The faux-hawk style I had also marked the moment I broke out of my shell. As you can imagine the carnage that has taken place atop my dome has not been easy to deal with. My confidence has been in tatters for the last 5 years.
I purchased two dermarollers (a 1.5mm and a 0.5mm) that finally arrived last Friday. Tonight was my first night trying that out. I went with the 0.5mm and IMMEDIATELY noticed the crunching noise of the fibrosis/calcification up there.
Let's be honest - rolling tiny needles on your scalp isn't exactly going to feel good, but I got used to it pretty quickly. I haven't ordered the ingredients for my topical concoction yet, so tonight I simply used some rosemary oil. The feeling was so refreshing, especially since it was getting in there deeper.
I'll follow up with some baseline pictures tomorrow of what it looks like both wet and dry.
