Hi ladies,
Some of you all know I had a setback with bleach and horrible haircut this year that took me from BSL to around SL (not even full SL) so I have had to cut alot of my hair. I have not had my hair damaged like this in over 15 years.
I usually do keratin treatments, my last one was in the Summer 2012, but now I am growing my natural hair out completely. I have about 3 inches or more of naturally curly hair (I'm 3c for the most part). I have been taking tons of supplements and for the last month I've been co-washing daily. Here are my results:

I take:
MSM - 1000 mg (2-4 a day - I haven't been consistent but at usually at least 2 a day)
Biotin - (5,000 mcg - twice a day)
Silica (Horsetail - I purchased from Vitamin Shoppe 1 -day)
Viviscal or Marine Collagen (I just switched back to Nature's Gate Marine Collagen - I take 2 a day)
Vitol Ener-g vitamins (2 a day)
I will not be flatironing or using any thing in my hair other than Eco-gel and conditioner on my bun (what I've done the last month) until May 2013. I still can't believe the results for just one month. In the photo my hair from Dec is curled the one from November is flatironed completely straight.
ETA:
This was my hair from March 2012 before breakage:

. I remember your hair from the BKT threads, did the treatments take it's toll on your hair? I cut my hair really short last year did to one treatment I did, my hair thinned out and it always felt coated.
April 2013 would be 4 years using keratin and I still think keratin is a dream come true. 
growing like crazy. I'm surprised I haven't sprouted any whiskers. I have a very senstive system (like most folks with allergies/eczema) so I can tell if something doesn't work for me pretty quickly. I don't plan to take all this stuff forever but I need all the help I can get over the next 6-12 months!
