Yes I see it. It looks like it grew close to 1/2" or at least a a few centimeters. Like I said you will be waist length by the end of the week two more days to grow. You may be hip-length by Oct. 11th. :lachen:
 
Ivey giirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl :blush:. You're right, I see more growth in just only 6 days :yep:. Wow, yup, this fish oil is a keeper. I recommend us ladies to get stocked up cause you know the prices gonna sky rocket once they see everyone purchasing all the Carlons fish oil all of a sudden.

I'm thinking the same thing growinstong. I was thinking of waiting to finish the bottle before I order another one but if Ivey keeps posting progress pics my favorite place to order will be out of them soon. Hmmm I may just go ahead and get more locally. Off to see the wizards!

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. :ohwell:

I just read an article online that MSM actually helps to lengthen the anagen (hair growth cycle) cycle of our hair growth so taking MSM is a good thing for me for sure. I do know that excessive biotin causes breakouts if not accompanied with a good vitamin b-complex supplement.
 
i think msm made my hair go from 4a to 4c. the new growth since i've been taking it is very different. idk. i think i'm going to stop it. i'm ordering the fish oil right now, then i won't post anymore (to keep the price of fish oil down lol).

iherb.com has it cheaper than the carlson's website. carlson's website 200ml (approx. 7oz) $24.??
iherb.com 16.8 oz (500ml) $27.95

Is anyone taking fish oil and MSM? If so, what's your dosage and how often are you taking it?

Ivey..GREAT progress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I got my Carlson Fish Oil today. I've stopped my MSM and need to start back due to my hip issues. I used to use MSM religiously every day! Don't know why I got so lazy, but I need to start back. :yep:

So, on Sept. 1st, I did a length check, and I thought, cool, it's growing. Then, Sept. 11th (flat-iron day), I took another pic. I was like, wow, ok then...THEN, just moments ago today, I took yet another pic. I was like, WHOA! My hair seems to be growing pretty fast!! I always wondered how my hair seemed to retain length even after getting a trim every month...

It was only recently, that I decided not to trim my hair (only S&D) for the past two months to see my natural growth progress. I initially planned on checking every first of the month thereafter, but you know how it is when you're trying to reach a goal (OCD :lachen:). Well, I took some pics for just this month and was amazed at how much it's grown! I should be happy, but I'm pretty scared! Is this normal growth?? It seems to grow a bit longer than half an inch? I've never tracked my growth before, so, to me this is a surprise. The only thing I remember doing differently was adding fish oil to my diet July 29th. I then added MSM/Super B-Complex Aug. 30th. Could it be the supplements combined or what??

UPDATE: So I looked through my pics and selected those that were stretched for consistency. I am comparing my longest strand in the nape area (my hair is layered). I know it's sloppy, but it's my first time comparing shots. I'll do better next month (Oct). :)

Oh, and I stopped taking MSM/B-Complex Sept. 27th.

(And yes, I wear my bra too low, only this particular bra though :rolleyes:)

dont be fooled and think its just what you did just days prior, those other vits you took for a couple/few months then gave up did probably contribute to what your seeing now

eta not directed at you, just everyone thinking about the fish oil

I am positive those b vits helped alot! They are the hair vitamins, well there are more, but u know........

Yes, it's been a while...:yep:

I recently moved into a new home with my fiance and was busy with a few things.

Just wanted to know how everyone who has started taking Fish Oil is doing? :drunk:

Surprisingly, after shedding a bunch of hair for almost two months which scared the crap out of me, it seems to be growing back as quickly as it fell.

This is how my hair was on October 9th:

This is the most recent shot I took of my hair back on November 18th:

Nov18-vi.jpg


My layers are finally growing out!

And yes, I am still taking my fish oil/supplements religiously among other things. :)

Do you know what caused your shedding?
 
running to go crack open that fish oil I stopped taking!!
GREAT growth girl!! I hope this works for me as well
running faster than a speeding built to the cabinet where the fish oil has been residing!!

You know Ivey, your growth rate reminds me of a personal favorite here from the board. Check this incredible growth out: http://public.fotki.com/sweetcashew/may-07-hair-cut/cimg6755may8thcomparison.html

This is from only 1 month of hair growth, incredible. Yours seem to be growing just as fast, get it girl.

i remember when sweetCashew used to post here, & she's a very sweet lady, & i mean no disrespect, & i know her hair care line is doing very well...

but those comparison pics have to be a lie.

reason being because pic#2 has been stretched size-wise, & there are no layers in pic#2 like there are in pic#1. & underneath both pics, instead of a disclaimer saying not to steal pics, there is a line saying to visit her natural hair care site.

i believe hair can grow faster than .5 a month, but 3 inches in a month? preposterous.

All of my pics aren't a lie. Maybe the way the pics are taken aren't "consistent" as someone previously mentioned when I first started posting pics. As in, the exact way I hold the camera, the exact angle, the exact position, etc. etc. I know in some pics, my hair has more wave giving the appearance that my hair has grown more than it has when it is shown side by side another pic where it is more straightened. But I promise you that these pics are REAL. And I am not trying to promote a hair line nor am I being paid to promote taking fish oil.

I have no reason to share such information but for the sake for sharing with everyone MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. I do not make any guarantees either.

oh no dear i wasn't talking about you! i mentioned in my post i was talking about the former member here, sweetCashew. please don't get defensive.
 
Ivey, I know you were stressed about the shedding but your hair looks like it's gotten thicker.

It looks good.
