A couple of year ago, I had two bald spots on the sides of my head from letting my friend sew in tracks, but then glue them in at the top. I wore this style continuously for about eight months. I would take it out, relax my hair, and get it done all over again. So when I was getting my hair braided one day, she said do you realize you have two bald spots? I was devastated after I looked in the mirror and I said right then and there that I was going to stop doing it. I got some ORS temple balm and I would say within about 2 months the hair was back, so it did work for me!
Cinnabuns, it's ususally $12.99 in most drugstores and beauty supply stores.
I used it on my temple areas that were looking a little thin. Yes, I followed the directions exactly for about two months which is how long they say it takes to start seeing results, But, it's just one of those things that doesn't work for everybody because it did work for my daughter! 
I don't know why it says not to use it on the nape area because that's exactly where I used it on her. About two years ago, her hair fell completely out back there and was BALD. This came from wearing her buns too tight. I kept telling her, but she wouldn't listen. Anyway, I used the same ORS Temple Balm on her nape area for about two months and her hair grew back so nice and thick! You would never have guessed at one time she was bald back there. So again, it DOES work for some people.
