Fast growth?? Supplements or WHAT? (PICS)

[CurlyMoo]

Here is an excerpt from an article about the benefits of fish oil:

Hair Care: Fish oil helps maintain a good luster of the hair. Omega three has hair growing properties as it provides nourishment to the follicles. It therefore aids in faster development of hair and preventing hair loss. A good supply of proteins is also necessary for hair growth. Since most fish varieties are rich in protein, eating fish helps in keeping healthy hair.

Adding this...

...I don't like waiting for things to come in the mail. Someone said Vitamin Shoppe carries this brand, correct?

Put up the pictures please and don't sweat the naysayers when there is only one person...someone once got mad when I posted pics of my sister's growth because I measured two different sides of her nape.

When I was taking MSM I had an incredibly vivid dream involving Peyton Manning.

It was VERY odd.

Just regular hormones is all.

I wanna see the pics too. I will try to be patient.


BTW: I wanted to add that my hair does the spiral and wave up on the inside thing too when it starts to revert after straightening. It looks kind of similar to how yours looked. See these shots after 2 weeks straight and my hair was yuky!:

Ok recieved my bottle. YAY! Looks like a very large medicine bottle. Took my first teaspoon and it tastes like lemon. Waiting to se what flavored burps I have. Will take another teaspoon tonight at dinner.

YAY!! LOL

I actually did not experience any fish/lemon burps or anything with this brand. But everyone is different, hope you get great results from it! I read that it usually takes 3 months to notice any changes, but for me, it's the end of the 2nd month (July 29th - Sept 29th) since I started taking it and I am starting to see changes in my skin (smoother texture) and the way I feel emotionally (less depressed).

Come to think about it I am very happy when I eat Salmon. I think I will eat a Salmon steak tonight. To usher in my new fish oil supplement. The burps are very mild. Barely noticable so far. It was only 2 burps so far. Oh and thank you for bringing the pics back. Are those the same pics or did you make changes to them?

You know I've been taking shark liver oil for my sinuses for the past few months and didn't think about other effects it may have........I just ran out too.......aww well I have to replenish quick fast and hurry!!!

That may have been the reason why I didn't lose any length between my last relaxers even though I dusted and trimmed till thy kingdom come!!!

[QUOTEHow much Vitamin A does it (shark oil) have, if you remember?[/QUOTE]

I have to check my empty bottle when I get home after work...I will tell you this though it totally kept my sinuses in check and when I ran out it wasn't long before I had my usual sinus attacks!

They say people who suffer from depression can have low levels of omega 3's.

I will start taking my flaxseed oil regulayl just to get more shine and softness in my hair. I was never consistent with it so I saw no benefits.

I've opted for flax oil too. I've been taking it for 2 weeks and I skin is now showing positive effects. I'm waiting for my hair to follow suite.

Thanks for putting the pics back up. Nice progress

I've seen progress since taking Evening Primrose oil. Not on my ends because I rarely leave my hair down but my 8 weeks of regrowth looks like 12 weeks. I didn't even start taking the EPO for my hair but it is a nice side effect I'm going to look into this fish oil too.

Oh and by the way, I think that is where a bra should sit. You see some people with 1 inch between shoulder length and their bra strap and they'll be claiming it Someone suggested we rename BSL CFBSL (correctly fitting BSL)

Today is day six for me of taking my Carlson's Fish Oil. Thanks Ivey . I'm hoping for MBL by May 2010. Looks like I got plenty of time if I stick with this.

 

[CurlyMoo]

It feels weird taking liquid fish oil. It doesn't seem like much and I think maybe I should take more. But then I realize that this teaspoon of oil is equivalient to taking 1 capsule.

I'll be posting a pic up today to start the Oct comparison shots. I'm going to try to keep it organized and consistent as possible this month. I usually use my nape hair to do length checks when I am wearing my hair curly for the month. When it's flat iron day (Oct 23), I'll show a length check of all my hair when it's all straightened.

I think at the rate I'm going, I may make it to WL a bit before my goal date!! July (BSB), September (MBL), November (WL????). Whoa! I used to trim every month, but I have decided to stop trimming. Last trim was in July. My ultimate goal is WL but not as layered as it is now.

Hooray for supplementation! LOL <-----(I'm a nerd)

Yes Ivey you know there will be those checking to make sure your bra is in the same exact place as the other pictures. Your head is not leaning backward, shoulder blades are in place, etc. etc. Thank you Ivey I'm glad you are keeping us posted. Do you feel you received more growth?

Do you take your oil with other supplements? I'm starting to think fish oil taken with other supplements is a no no. Especially MSM.

I posted a link for Oct. I just took some pics today, attempting to create the same pose as before for consistency and got one good shot. I almost feel like a freak because in just 6 days I grew some more?!

Anywho, I stopped taking B-Complex/MSM Sept. 27th. I was experiencing a rash breakout and I wasn't sure if it was a new product I was using/biotin in b-complex/or MSM. So I stopped altogether and the breakouts have stopped and cleared in 2 days. I am still taking fish oil faithfully and added Copper 2mg/Zinc 30 mg Sept. 24th.

And I think you're right. Both MSM and fish oil have very similar effects (especially thinning the blood/anti-inflammatory), I decided not to take MSM because I don't want to overdo it, and I'm not sure, but I think MSM MIGHT have been breaking me out as previously mentioned.

YAY! Growing more hair is not freakish it's a blessing. It also means that you are healthy, because when the body gets the proper nutrients it takes care of the important areas first and the hair is the last to get benefits. So you are getting natural growth based on a nutritious diet/supplements.

It must be the MSM creating problems because I'm starting to have painful breakouts along my chin. I'm trying to drink more water to combat it. But I've experienced some queaziness after taking it with other vitamins. I'm spliting up my vitamins and taking them at seperate times of the day to see if that helps. I may just be taking to many at once.
