How about taking Chlorella?

[ScandalousBeauty]

I bought my bottle of Kyo Chlorella from GNC. A video that I saw said that if you get the pills, to get the ones with the broken cell wall. This one has that, so I'm on it! Starting off taking 3 a day, will be covering my progress in my natural hair blog, naturally scandalous.

 

[yodie]

Mannnn, I long for regularity.

I can't believe how this takes away my appetites and cravings. Amazing! I'm picking up my apple sauce tomorrow.

Okay I didn't want to post these pictures cause I know you guys will laugh at my busted hair. Well laugh on! So anyways I'm going to swallow my pride and here goes.


So I do cornrows and sometimes braids lately and let them stay for a month, up to 6 wks (if it doesn't look too bad). As I was visiting my family for school break, I'm getting my masters (hey we didn' t start up until the 19th and my first class wasn't until the 21st) I just kept my hair cornrowed. But now I'm looking ridiculous and will have to redo. It's been a little over 6 weeks, about two days, and I am going to have to hunt down my friend who does weave. She says she can weave my mbl hair and make it look flat so that I can have a new style. I hope I don't have a huge hump on my head because I have lots of hair. I wanted to follow pinkskates going from mbl to waist in a weave.

Anyways back to NOW. I have cornrows in a row, and the hair that is at the bottom, I just put into a big braided bun. So it was a cute style at the beginning as all the cornrows came down and then a big braided bun was at the end, which I sprayed with braid spray.

So now it's a frizz fest with no defined parts as the new growth is covering them. I just pulled a spot from my crown so you could see my just over 6 wks of growth. Normally my hair grows .75 to a little over an inch with nettle tea (drink it and use it as a rinse every wash) tea pr mth. As you can see I'm well over my shooting point. right now I should be at about 1 1/8 ish to 1 1/2 or somewhere in there in 6 wks. I'm well over that. Go chlorella go. I wish I had just braided my hair and took chlorella for a month so I could show that. I'll do that next time if I can pull up my braids in between the tracks. As such I only have my normal growth rate coupled with two weeks of chlorella which made it grow off the charts in my opinion. I'm still drinking my nettle tea which also encourages growth and doing a nettle rinse, though I've only done it every two weeks.

So anyways without further ado there are two pics. Pic one doesn't show my scalp just part of my braid and a little of the growth as I I tried to pull it up more to show the length of growth.

Pic 2 I did pull it up more, but not completely. I didn't do a great job as I had to use my pic phone while taking it so bear with me. I know there's more growth if I could've just pulled it up more, but I didn't eh best I can. I'm holding my braid. I did many really thin ones, so The rest is new growth, even though it wasn't pulled up enough.

BTW I only washed every 2 weeks as over break I was in KY, Ca and now back in NY. I had to wait until I was near a water filter. I NEVER wash without one. In KY and NY I have one, so I just had to do it there. I was visiting friends in Ca and they just don't. They thought I was a hair snob but oh well. I usually wash ever week so I should've had even more growth.
DON'T yall laugh at me I know it's frizzy and needs to be redone.

 

[yodie]

WooHoo LuckyD. That's some great growth. Yay!! Grow on lady.

What kind of shower filter do you have? I need an affordable one that works well.

That's fantastic.

 

[Kimbosheart]

LD thats progress. Im so happy for you.

I may try that nettle tea because I like to drink tea before bedtime. Maybe next month.

BTW I am addicted to the chlorella. I take 2 pills (1 gram) and it evens me out within 15 minutes. whatever the problem is, Im hyper, it calms me done. Im tired can't focus, it gives me energy. I think it may be the placebo effect but Im loving it AND best of all the hair growth. Im going to wait until the end of the month to give a total but the amount that I have gotten in the past 2 weeks is amazing

 

[luckiestdestiny]

BTW I just trimmed my nails again yesterday. I have to trim them all the time now because they are growing like crazy.

I'm going to see if I can look it up because it can be ordered or picked up from the store and it's very cheap. Let me go look for it and see if I can post it. Every since I got one, I didn't realize how I lived w/o one! It makes the hair so soft, and if you wash condition, dc your hair is like butter afterwards.

I have the same problem. I am going to wait a month before I take a hair pic. It should bring me to full waist length. I have been told I am at waist based on my last pic but perhaps not full waist, not that I know the difference.
We will see.

I believe it because I noticed I can concentrate better. Also I have a little more energy and that's hard for me to say as I usually am washed out (graves and radioactive iodine did a number).

Oh YEAH I believe you're getting growth after 2 weeks because this stuff is the truth! Also I believe your diet is on point, from my memory...I haven't looked back in the thread, so I think it goes where it's needed first and then to hair.

Nettle tea is wonderful. If you like black tea, you'll love the taste. I drink it hot with honey (and cream but I know that's unusual). I drink it EVERY night religiously. I've just gotten into the habit and it really stimulates growth. I also use it as a final rinse on my hair as it's good internally and externally. I got tired of trying different stuff and having to put it on my head everyday or waiting for my slow growth to move along. I wanted something simple and easy. So between that and chlorella and eating right I'm set. I get my nettle tea from iherb.com I get the NOW brand. It's a little over three dollars and it's for like 30 bags so it's not too bad. I'm all about inexpensive now!

what does nettle taste like? Is it spicy? Bitter ^^^

Had to do happy dance about growth.

Now back to water filter:
http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs...langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=100210495

That's the one I bought for only $19.95 and you can pick it up or they'll deliver it to you depending on how far away the home depot is from you. You can reserve it online and go get it or have them send it to you. You'll get it in a day or two as they find the one closest to your house to send it to you which I thought was cool. Also there's others in this line if you want one with a shower head. I just got the filter and kept my shower head.

 

[luckiestdestiny]

We will see.

I'm sure you'll definitely get here with this stuff. I'll take another pic again later on too. I'm going to hunt down my friend and get my hair done and we'll see how long before I'll have to redo. I'm thinking it'll only last a few weeks to a month, and I think it is possible to get the 2 inches or (gasp) more (at least .75 to 1 to 1 1/2 for those without proper nutrition). Heck it hasn't even been 8 weeks yet. I can only imagine how fast my hair will grow in the next 2 weeks.

I'm sure you'll get to full waist soon (or even longer!)

 

[yodie]

Ok, I'm trying to sleep over here and yall have me all amped with the hair growth talk. And yet I feel so left out. I feel like my chlorella is gonna go to my energy, detox and irregularity issues first.

Sighs!!

Thanks for the shower filter info. I need to make a trip over to Home Depot. Ordering my nettle tea tonight. I'm definitely a tea drinker.

Yeah but you need to detox and be regular! It'll come. I've been patient so that's probably why it's happening so fast now. Kimbo and I are eating all natural organic and I also did a detox back in October which by the way was horrible. I've been eating organically since september so that's five months of nutrients in my system. Combine that with nettle tea which nourishes the root and encourages growth, I've been doing that since Oct (four months) so chlorella is just adding to that.

I only bring this up because it isn't overnight for me. It all took time. Once all the correct nutrients build up in your system you'll be seeing some good growth too. And detoxing is a good thing, and so is being regular. they should make you cheer too when you reach those mild stones because it means your body is getting healthier and that's going to lead to healthier hair (and hair growth).

You're going to like the nettle tea. I suggest ordering two. I got mad at myself because I was cheap the first time and only ordered one, and then ran out. It takes a week for them to ship it out to you (just a warning at least every time I order that's how long it takes me).

 

[yodie]

It'll happen. Detoxing and regularity have to be my main focus right now. I'll just keep using my miconozole nitrate for now.

Ordered my tea. Very cheap on Amazon. Okay, off to bed. Sweet dreams chlorella. See ya in the morning.

It'll happen for you. It goes where its needed first. You will be on this board in no time talking about how long your hair is and you can't believe the growth and I be the first one to happy dance for you.

Actually, I take that back Im gonna do my happy dance when you post that you are REGULAR and ENERGETIC consistently

It just tastes like black tea but better. I told my mom about it and she keeps ordering it now, and says she likes it better than black tea. I have to agree with her. Add a little honey, or whatever and you're set.

Hey maybe I should check out Amazon. I wonder if they have the Now brand too. I'm so used to it, I don't want to change...off to search.

Oh my Goodness! They have it for like 2 bucks and change. I'm ordering three right now. That's it for my hair expenses: nettle tea, chlorella, and good eating. Ta da! I have enough shampoo and conditioner to last for over a year (I went crazy buying up all the original creme of nature in the big container. I got three of them. One of them lasts 4-5 months they're so huge! And also I just ordered my shescentit avocado conditioner last month) so I am set. I may have to get some more lacio lacio but that's all folks as I have my creme and oil to seal already.

 

[mariofmagdal]

I may have to try this nettle tea too. The key benefits by drinking are? I don't want to tea rinse, too lazy for that. I am interested in it's health properties.

I bought two green drinks today. One by bolthouse farms and the other Naked Green Machine. Bolthouse Farms cost a few cents more but the nutrient values are higher than those listed for the Naked brand. I didn't want to drink tonight because I want to get some sleep. (Has not worked so far)

 

[Kimbosheart]

LuckyD I rebuke thee and my debit card rebukes thee too.

I just ordered some of the tea and i plan on going by homedepot this week for the showerhead.

J/K I love you and all that you do. Besides the problem is Im not sleepy so Im up shopping on the internet

Sure about the tea rinse? I make it once and put it in the fridge and use it all month. If I'm really lazy I don't add herbs just distilled water and nettle tea. I wash condition, dc and then I just pour it over after my final rinse (I use a container with a nozzle and make sure it goes to the scalp). It takes seconds to do.

If not drinking it is still wonderful. It has tons of benefits. It also helps with allergies and asthma (I have both). It can be taken internally and externally. I couldn't find the internal articles on taking it for hair growth but it works both ways.

Nettle has been documented for its use in treating coughs, tuberculosis and arthritis, as well as stimulating hair growth.
Traditional herbalists believed that Nettle tea was a great hair tonic and would bring back the natural color of hair. The leaves are thought to be an excellent blood purifier. Known topical applications for this herb include use as a shampoo, conditioner and hair rinse for dandruff, for stimulation of hair growth and prevention of hair loss, as a cleanser for oily skin and as an astringent facial cleaner



http://www.herballegacy.com/Vance_Medicinal.html

The stimulating effect of stinging nettle is used as a rinse for the hair. This will regenerate hair growth and restore original hair color. It is used by the personal hair care industry in anti-dandruff products and scalp conditioners. Clairol uses more than 40 tons of nettles a year as a hair conditioner. In addition, Russian studies show that nettle tea has anti-bacterial activity. Mouthwashes and toothpastes containing nettle can reduce plaque and gingivitis. Many oral health care products in health food stores contain nettle.

The following is a concise reference of the ailments stinging nettle treats:

*Congestion
Coughs
Tuberculosis
Bronchitis
Lung congestion

Oh and this is who should avoid it:
Possibly Unsafe: When used in patients with diabetes, as nettle may aggravate the condition by increasing blood sugar level (24; 25). Also, use with caution in conjunction with anticoagulants, antihypertensives and diuretics as constituents in the nettle plant may potentiate or attenuate the effects of these medications (4; 5; 6).

No really once you get the tea and the chlorella and eat right you're set. Think of all the money you'll save.

Also you'll be thanking me when you touch your hair after getting the shower filter.

 

[mariofmagdal]

Thanks for the info on the tea. I will be drinking it. I may try the rinses but oh boy, I am so not into even a few seconds longer than I have to when it comes to hair....yeah, admittedly I am that lazy.

[Whimsy]

Okay, I never notice hair growth until it's like 6 months down the line and i see my hair looks longer. I don't know how fast it grows normally so when chlorella starts to kick in i fear i wont be able to really see the results for a while. As for general health, OK I've been taking 2g a day, that was enough to make my poo green before, but now I'm back to normal poos and I haven't changed my dose. I'm going to up it to 3gs a day.

Has anyone ever gone from seeing a change to not seeing anything? Even with maintaining your dose? I am seeing a slight change in my appetite, but that's all.

 

[mariofmagdal]

Onelove08 I am glad to hear of your progress, especially that you are feeling so good.

I am about to take my supplements with one of the green juices I purchased last night. I am starting with the Naked green Machine. It tates awesome! My son is home sick today and I shared 2oz with him, now he's back for more.

I can't say my hair has grown, I am sure it has, but I know it is stronger and has less breakage in the rough situations I put my hair through this past week, almost no manipulation. (I really can't run with that, my hair will cut up) All is well and I do feel great!

 

[onelove08]

Stay positive Whimsy! I am not really "looking" for changes. It just so happens if I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror...or I see a piece of hair hanging that i never noticed before! It will happen! i am also focusing on my eating habits and exercising. i have been taking chlorella now for about 2.5 week. i also use spirulina. and i am mixing the egg shake in there as well. i also "hide" my hair. i do not wear it out for nothing. i wear hats and pretty scarves.

Thank you! Sorry to hear about your son! Well at least he liked the juice and on the plus side, it is good for him! Glad to hear you feel great as well!!!!
