My Hair Grew Fast When _______________

[gn1g]

I had a quick weave, not a wig but a straight up glued to the stocking cap weave.

My hair cannot take sew-ins, the thread cuts through my fine strands like scissors. Also my hair loves the brown gel (protein). I believe hair that is completely untouched by hands, will grow maybe not the fastest but for sure the length is retained. Also it keeps my hair from weather damage.

What is the one technique that grew your hair the fastest?

 

[BrownSkin2]

The Marley braids and wearing wigs. I wore marley braids off and on during the winter and my hair looked a bit thicker and longer afterwards. When I wear wigs for a few weeks, it seem to grow faster too.

I know its just better length retention.

Right after I had my oldest son I went on a high protein diet for weight loss. My hair grew super fast during that time. Unfortunately I only did it a few months

Did your diet consist of mostly meats and/or protein supplements?

 

[sgold04]

When I had crochet braids, ate clean (no processed foods), and ran 5 days a week. My hair grew like a weed.

 

[LiftedUp]

I was taking NIOXIN vitamins

When I bunned my hair for 6 months straight.

Meat, beans, nuts, yogurt and protein shakes. I was getting 100 grams a day

100?? Wow!! I guess your hair did grow super fast. I've been using protein powder in my daily smoothies but I doubt I'm getting 100g/day.

When I juiced on the regular and ate raw 'till 4.

 

[LdyKamz]

When I ate healthier and cowashed daily. I had just big chopped again and it was a huge fro in 3 months. But for some reason I don't want to cowash daily. The most I do now is 2x a week and I eat like crap. I should do better.

Yeah it was hard to stay consistent. I was always at the grocery store lol! I tried it again from April to June and I lost 15lbs. I haven't done a length check so Idk if I got extra growth this time

 

[PureSilver]

When I took horsetail supplements used MT and wore weaves back to back

I don't know about fast growth, but I know my hair retained all length when I kept it in human hair extensions for 18 months straight (redoing individual braids and occasionally exchanging old hair for new, along the way).

I swear my hair grew faster when I was drinking my shakeology religiously. I stopped for a couple months and I noticed a difference in growth and my scalp. I need to do a blog post on it actually. (holla at me if you want some) #shamelessselfpromotion

 

[LadyAmani]

I was taking NIOXIN vitamins

Yes!!! For me as well. Why did they have to discontinue them.

This is what I'm currently doing. How often were you washing?

 

[InBloom]

I have very slow-growing hair.

However, I'm seeing faster growth right now because of taking my Hairburst vitamins consistently.

 

[HairPleezeGrow]

NEVER....

@Whimsy

I drink chocolate shakeology for breakfast every morning. Love that stuff. Do you still drink it?

 

[bluediamond0829]

I actually agree with the gn1g. I had a quick weave before and took out the weave and yea it was a nice thick bob. It was thicker then I ever could imagine. Then I messed up because I put in that TCB Naturals Relaxer and it tore my head up. I always worry about the threads they use for the sewins too.

Also ITA with drinking the Shakeology shakes. It has some really good ingredients in it. Mine grew and was thick from Herbalife. But it contains soy. But I'm switching to using Shakeology and have used it on and off.

Also my hair has grown thicker and longer with Viviscal(the old formula) they switched it up and added more ingredients and plus added biotin to it.

I stopped drinking it temporarily because I wanted to see the difference. August is the last 4 weeks of my lil "experiment" and I can't wait to get back to it. Outside ofthe hair growth it's just so good for my body's functioning and energy.

The first one is the only thing that ever sped up hair growth for me. Long, full, indestructible hair! I miss it but I'm not about to be popping out a bunch of babies to keep it, lol!

I feel ashamed to say... not often (if at all). I used to think that my hair would matt and tangle if I washed it in the braids. I'd never had them before. Even though I've always been into hair, it was before I knew anything of 'protective styling'.

When I was eating organic eggs for a year. My coworker kept her neighbor's six pet Araucana & “Easter Egger" hens while his home was under renovation. They laid so many eggs she'd distribute them at work. My hair looked fake; shiny, wiry with lots of body. It also went from layered APL/BSB to full waist.

I need some of those eggs!!

@KiWiStyle Those were the best tasting eggs I ever ate. They were rich and slightly sweet. The organic eggs from the store don't measure up. I think it's because the hens were pampered. They ate fruits, cooked rice, greens vegetables. The neighborhood kids would pet them.

 

[gorgeoushair]

Retained length- protective styling like braids, quick weaves, etc

Growth-Biotin and hair vitamins

Cowashed and stopped washing every week with Shampoo. It was around bsl for a few years, now its mbl.
