I'm pretty sure I could t drink that stuff if you paid me! I commend you ladies, I just couldn't do it. I gave up sweetened drinks (except beer) that is the best I can do. LOL...I guess I'll just have to go on with my slow-growing, no green smoothie drinking self. Happy Hair Growing!

I just read the chlorella thread...well some of it. DUDE xu93texas that's how you got all that growth in 6 weeks!! I'm going tomorrow to grab some Chlorella from Whole Foods! I'm going on vacation starting Friday so I won't use it until I get back. How many grams are you taking daily and have you gone green yet ;-)???

All the fruit makes it sweet but not too sweet...enough to cover the taste of the green veggies!

Yes! I've gone green
I just think it's a combo of growth aids externally and feeding my body great nutrition. Hubby has been telling all of his friends about how good he's been feeling. I do have more energy and I'm in the detox stage right now. The health benefits are wonderful. It would be a plus to get at least 1 inch of ng a month with everything I'm doing

I've been nauseous the past couple of days and I puked this morning ( tmi), but I feel a lot better. Also, my skin looks better. ( I also did a bentonite clay mask this past Sunday) it's a combo of both things.

Yeah, I'm not looking forward to my body's detoxification but I know it's a necessary evil.

I really hate bananas and coconut, yuk...what can I say.
LOL! You can make green smoothies with foods you like. When I don't have coconut water I use water...just be sure it has kale and/or spinach.

Uh uh, girl. I just can't do it...I don't want to see any Kale unless it has a ham hock next to it...LOL...No spinach unless it is cleverly disguised with noodles and cheese in my lasagna!

8.7 weeks post according to my counter. Gonna cleanse and DC and do some root work based on the LC. Got my length check shirt today so I can spare you all the back-fat in the length-check pics...LOL!
UPDATE: got my trim in according to the Lunar Calendar, supposed to be good for strengthening roots. Goodness know is can't hurt!

We're almost at the finish line! I'm 8w1d post today and I am so ready to relax, I'm starting to get breakage at the line of demarcation when I rollerset even though I deranged really well beforehand. Good luck on your growth and root work... I dusted last month based on a different calendar for thickness...I believe it's working!
I'll probably continue to do weekly rollersets until 10 weeks and then after that, it's back to my French braid for two weeks.

Hey buddies! I dusted my hair on the 20th according to the lunar calendar for root work! I think its working! I hope this growth oil gives me an xtra inch or more! I'm going to try Cowashing 3-4x week in addition to shampoo 1x week and DC 2x week. How you ladies doing? I'm thinking about stretching close to 20 weeks for the next three stretches... I got to get these problem areas under control without causing new problems! Lol!

Babygrowth unfortunately I relaxed on Wednesday. I had an event to attend, I needed my hair to look very polished. I will say that the Wildgrowth oil seemed to work (even though I hate putting anything on my scalp). I noticed more growth this time around, I'm almost back to shoulder length.

Ok. You had to do what you had to do! Pics please! Lol! I'm glad the oil worked for you. Maybe next time we can get you to stretch a tad longer!

I'm 13 weeks post today and it's still smooth sailing. I want to be sure to have a nice surprise on relaxer day, so I've been watching my ends like a hawk. I did a 1/2" trim on Tuesday to keep my hemline in check.
Here's an airdried hair pic from last night:
Sorry it's so dark.

sunnieb, I still can see the goodness! Looks great.
baddison Cherry89 Nix08 sunnieb,
I spoke to dh about my texture last night and has faith in me that I can manage two textures if I choose. He must think highly of my limited skills.
I'm considering stretching for longer periods to see what my true natural texture looks like. As crazy as this may sound, I only know what the texture from a 16 weeks post or less perspective. I'm not going natural or transitioning, I'm just interested to experience my natural texture. Does this make sense to anyone?

I just prepped my hair today for braid extensions tomorrow. I did a protein treatment with motions CPR under a plastic cap for about an hour. Cleansed with NG lemon detox cleanser, conditioned with AOHSR, detangled and t-shirt dried. Hair is moisturized and pulled back in a bun until tomorrow. Hoping to keep the braids in until the end of April.

Yes it does!
By stretching to 18 weeks, I'm becoming more accustomed to dealing with the two textures. Truth be told, I love my 12+ weeks post hair more than my freshly relaxed hair. I like the thickness and how my previously relaxed hair seems to "poof" more to keep pace with my newgrowth.
I'm seriously considering giving up relaxing for 2 years to color my hair. Iunno yet.
My siggy pic is my signature hairstyle that I wish I could wear year-round.

@Babygrowth, I hear ya on trying to get them problem areas under control!! I hope your growth oil & cowashing works for you too!!
@Kim0105 I'm thinking of doing a protein treatment next week sometime as well. I prefer to use the Motions Silk Protein Treatment but I don't think they even sell that anywhere anymore. Have you used the Motions CPR before & if so, how well does that one work for you?
@Angelinhell, Completely understandable that you wanted your hair on point for your event. I would like to see pics too pleeeeeease!! LOL! How long would you like to try to stretch for the next go round?
@lovely_locks @sckri23 @MissyB, How are you ladies doing?
I poo'd on Friday night with Organix Tea Tree Mint Poo-Sulfate free & just threw some Organix Argan Oil & Shea Butter Conditioner on my hair for a while. No added oils or relaxer method cuz I didn't feel like it. I forgot to put some leave in conditioner before I wrapped my hair but I started spraying my cornrows with S Curl every morning & night anyway so it doesn't even phase me that I didn't. On Saturday I oiled my scalp & M&S into my 4 ponytails to straighten my NG then did my cornrows. I bought another curly wig on Thursday also so that I can keep my bangs braided underneath.
CVS pharmacy was having a buy one get on 50% off sale on the Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin & Nail vitamins plus I had a $3 of coupon so I wound up getting 2 bottles for like $13. I took one today & dem is disgusting! I still take another additional 5,000 mcg of biotin along with these also. Happy Hair growing Buddies!!
