At least you are almost BSL.My growth rate truly makes me sadI have changed my diet, taken supplements, done massages, inversions and even applied topical growth aids... I still have only grown 2 inches this year. And after my 2 trims I am the same length that I was in January
On the bright side most of my thin damaged ends are gone.
What made biotin a disaster for you, if you don't mind sharing?
You don't need to do a cleanse or detox first. Start now and do them during your cleanse/detox.
Thanks for the information. Do you know if you were allergic to it or was that some commonly know side effect?
I feel the same way. I have been stuck at the same length and I wasn't have a lot of hair shedding or anything like that. My hair is only an inch longer than it was last year at this time. I'm hoping this new journey makes some kind of difference. I can't say it's like watching paint dry because paint dries faster than my hair grows lol.My hair reach just below cbl at year 2.5 and pretty much stopped there , haven't even reached full apl yet
Maybe I should just get them from Vitamin Shoppe or GNC. I hope to retain 3 to four inches next year.I'm taking Viviscal now , they said give it 6 mos to see thickness. Only on my first month so I can't really give any feedback. Hopefully, I can keep it up, I'm not good at taking pills.
You do have a point. Like you, I don't see a lot of hair shedding (except from extensions). I don't stick to regimens, growth aids or anything long enough to see any results. But I still don't think I grow anywhere near a half inch month so I slow grower and retainer? Confused.
Half an inch is tiny, you may not be able to tell until several months have passed especially if you don't have a clear demarcation line. It was easier to see the actual growth when I was relaxed. I've been taking pictures to chart my growth since before I bc-ed. Are you relaxed or natural?
I'm natural but I have tracked it from last year and haven't see much of a difference. However, my ends were split and hadn't been trimmed. Now that they have been trimmed, I should be able to see the growth better.
Dang! I should have thought of that before I got my hair braided today. I am keeping it braided down for eight weeks and I would have been able to measure the difference for that period of time.
I'm thinking about doing sulfur again. I saw a lot of growth/retention then. I just hate the smell, even with the "scented" stuff like NJoy's oil. I've been increasing my protein intake. Currently its at about 80 grams a day. I hope to find a way to get in at least 20 more grams per day. Might look into those Quest bars again. Last time I had them I got them from Amazon and they were stale.
so its easy to tell. It takes just around 2.5 month to see half an inch of roots unless I take 5011 vitamins. i try but am not really about that pill popping life.
That's great news! Are you using it daily?So I finally measured my roots last night. On Sept 30 when I started using liquid gold I had only grown around 2 inches for the year. I measured last night and I have 3.5 inches for the year! We still have another month and a half. With liquid gold there is a chance that I will grow another inch this year. I'm so excited
I guess I'll just have to deal with the smell and keep using it. I started washing once a week and that helps keep my hair from being super oily.
I use it every other day and I invert the first 7 days of the month.
