OMG!!! I'm almost waist length......

[hurricane]

Again, thank you ladies very, very much. I have been lurking on LHCF for almost a year just soaking up all of this wonderful information.

So in March of this year, I decided that I will try to grow my hair to waist length and the journey began.

I have already told a few of you my story:

I have been natural since 2004. Prior to that, I relaxed my own hair about two times a year. My hair was mid-back length then. When my daughter lost all of her hair during her chemotherapy and radiation treatments, I cut all of my hair to about three inches. It did not bother me at all because I love my natural hair.


At one point, I was trimming my hair every couple of months because I wanted to keep my natural hair around shoulder length which was easy to manage; just wash and go without any problem.

I really do not do much for my hair other than TLC and keeping my regimen as simple as I can.

My Regimen: (Inspired by Candy C, MedMunky, & RedTweety); although they do not even know it

Preshampoo Oil Treatment: amla & shikakai oil the night before wash day

Shampoo: Shikakai bar every 4 weeks and as needed. Ayurvedic hair powders (amla, shikakai, brahmi) 2x per week per Candy C's instructions

Cowash: 2x per week, w/Tresemme Pro-Vitamin B & Aloe, Vitamin E

Deep Condition: After every wash with Queen Helen Cholesterol + EVOO or Aussie 3 Minute Miracle

Daily Moisturize: Giovanni Direct Leave-In Moisturizer, Qhemet Biologics amla & olive heavy cream, Hair2Heaven endall to seal

Nightly Scalp Massages: Gro-Aut oil and Mahabhringaraj oil

Sleep with satin cap. The only time I use direct heat is when I flat iron my hair.

That's about it, I forgot to add that I take a multi-vitamin (Wal-Mart Brand) daily.

I think the the growth spurt is from the warm humid weather here in the South. Also, my hair is moist all the time and I wear it up almost 99% of the time.

I can't stand it. I ordered some ayurverdic products and have to wait until Aug. 1st until they can ship it out. I am trying with every ounce of my being to wait. The angel on the right shoulder is telling me to have pacience. The devil on my left shoulder is telling me go on to the indian grocery store and spend more money ( PJism )


You hair is beautiful and healthy looking whatever your doing don't stop. Congradulations!!!!!!!

Thank you ladies soooo much. I am very excited about ayurvedic products. For me they have been so simple to use and I have not had any adverse reactions to any of the powders or oils. I continue to have great results and I don't plan to ever stop using them.

I am thankful that I stumbled upon LHCF because I have learned so much.

Hopefully I can help someone else along the way!!

Bumpsadaisyes!!!!!

Wow, I have not seen this thread in a while. I think I reached WL, but I did not want to claim it yet because I am focusing on getting the ends of my hair thicker. Hopefully I will be full WL by March.:crossfingers:

My regimen is basically the same except I only wash once a week since it is cold, and I now use HairVeda products.

Looks like WL in that new siggy! Congrats!

Thank you so much!!!
