did anyone experience tenderness on your scalp? I have several "sore spots" and wondered if this is normal? (I'm happy to even have hair, but why does it have to hurt!?)

    Yes, I did Cat .. in fact I had several ingrown
    hair follices during my hair regrowth. Isn't it funny how our scalp hair doesn't grow back all at the same time .. Infact ..my bang area, was the last to grow back .. much shorter than the rest of my hair. My back hair was about 1.5 times the length as the rest of my hair -- when I had it trimmed.

    Massage your scalp .. it helps with the tenderness.

    Good luck .. and happy hair growing!

    Itchy
    Donna is just itchy, and with all that scratching,she may get some sore spots. Last treatment was the end of September, she's sort of fuzzy now.

    Mine Hurt
    But only when it was coming out. I figured it was the roots dying and that's why it hurt, but growing back in, nope.

    Ingrown
    hair. Never thought of that. It seems to be the same feeling I had when it was falling out and was worried it was going to again!
    My hair is growing the same way, bangs way shorter than the rest, really long at the top, curly, wavy, & straight all in the mix! I'm ok with it, but I have a "five-head" instead of a fore-head, so I'm anxious to cover some of it up!

    Yes, my head was sore in spots
    and I had a couple of large pimple-like areas that were very sensitive. Once the hair start really coming in past the "brush-cut" stage, my scalp felt more normal and less sensitive.

    Hugs, Renee
