Setback, Trials, and Tribulations

Sometimes when we think a product is supposed to help, it hurts us even more. I suffer from traction alopecia in the front top section of my hair due to cornrows that I braided too tight when I was transitioning. Because of this, I have several bald spots in that section of my hair that makes most of my hairstyles fall flat.

I have tried many things to get my hair to grow back. I've spent time in the dermatologist office and we worked on a couple of things. I've tried all the herbal and natural growth aids from teas, to spices, to oils. None of which worked. However, I don't give up the fight. I still look for new ways to, if not stimulate growth in that area, at least thicken my hair.

Enter in, Sunny Isle Red Pimento Oil hair growth. I didn't seek this product out. As a matter of fact, I was just looking for a way to get Super Free Shipping with Amazon and decided to buy a regular bottle of JBCO. Only except, this bottle came with that Red Pimento Oil hair growth oil as a bonus. I looked at the reviews (the 1 and 2 star ones first) and was warned that some customers hair fell out when using it while for others, it completely did not work. And then on the other side of the spectrum, there were people who loved it. So I added it to my cart. Only because I knew Red Pimento Oil does stimulate hair growth. I mean, what's the worst that can happen.

I used the product sparingly, maybe 3 times a week only on the thin spots. Dabbed a little in my hair, massaged my scalp and was done. I didn't mind the smell at all because I was not using it regularly. Well, It didn't take long for me to find out which side of the spectrum from the product reviews I fell on.

Two weeks of using the product, My hair is now even more thinner than before and in places where I didn't experience any thinning previously but added the oil to. Am I upset? Yes! But that's apart of life. You live and learn. We all have setbacks, Trials, and Tribulations and it is what we learn from them that makes us better. What I learned from this?

Red Pimento Oil is the devil!
