Thanks for the info. I am going very slowly about this to make sure which ingredients are helping. I am probably going to add Saw Palmetto & MSM to my shampoo but for now I am convinced that Apple Cider Vinegar, Cold Pressed Virgin Olive Oil, & Aloe Vera are helping. I am still not sure yet if there is any real growth yet from these three ingredients but my hunch is that the ACV is removing salts from my scalp and the aloe vera can't hurt. The once a week Virgin Olive Oil is my latest addition and it is still much too early to tell if there is a significant change. I am adding baking soda next but I will add MSM & Saw Palmetto at some point. My dry patch is getting much better from my Aloe/Olive Oil mix and it feels thicker An Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse feels wonderful and I am ready to start the baking soda. Thanks for the tips. I really appreciate them. I am going to be starting a heavy metal detox this week myself and I hope I can get rid of heavy metals in my body.
