Hello, On 3/3, I cut all of my hair off bald. I had a full head of hair. By the beginning of April, certain sections of my head were growing back slowly (especially on the right side of my head) A friend told me that I was shedding and thinning. So in April I got a real low even all over (near bald cut) . In May the same areas were slowly growing. I did some research and asked and many concluded that I dealing with Telogen effluvium and my hair is in shock from the cut and it is going to take a couple of months for the hair to grow back normally. So on May 7 I cut my hair off bald again and I made a black African soap shampoo with Vitamin e, argan, jojoba, Peppermint, tea tree and rosemary oil and bought purador hair therapy conditioner. Since that day I shampoo my hair every morning and use the conditioner 2 days a week. Ive attached 2 pictures of my progress. 5/7 and 5/21 (collage).

On the 5/21 i colored the sections that are growing slowly/thinning in white and colored my hair line in red. My hairline isnt receding and the hair that is not falling out. The areas in white was feeling like straw but since the regime it doesn't as much. (NOTE: when I cut my hair on 3/3, it took over a month to get my hair to look like it is looking on 5/21(2 weeks) so my idk if the black soap shampoo / purador is working as far as fast growth). The following picture is a pic i tooj of the top of my head:

I don't notice any baldness or such. I know its only been 2 weeks but Im kind of panicking. Could it be Telogen effluvium? Any advice on how to proceed? Please Help.
