I really wish I could tell you. I have no idea. The only difference in my regimen this month was the Silicon Mix.

Although I will say that every single time I used the SM after I rinsed my hair I always noticed that I still had some in my scalp and I'd be like, "man, I don't feel like getting back in the shower to rinse that out. It'll just have to stay there." *blow dry and style as usual*

That's still a reach though, even to me, so I'm still trying to figure it out. Maybe the fact that I joined this thread and was constantly thinking about it?

Man I dunno. I ordered some Nioxin anyway. :lachen:

Wait a minute...

My hair grew an inch this month! OMG!

I measured yesterday and my hair is 10 inches long all around. The last time I measured it was 9 inches long...but I figured that I was measuring after the "month" mark... But I just checked my blog and it was December 26 when I measured 9 inches...

Now to figure out what in my regimen changed... Could it be the Silicon Mix?

Still in cornrows (no extensions). Been 4weeks now. I wash and redo them one at a time every week. I spray with African Pride braid spray and moisture my ends with silken child moisturizer cream and argan oil. I'm 6 weeks post relaxer and I'm getting good new growth. So far so good!

HautePinkHeels, congrats!!

steamed and then lightly blow-dried today with my regular products

loving walnut oil - love the smell and the feeling it gives my hair did the LOC method now doing a baggy with s-curl sealed with a tad bit of walnut oil

have to say since this challenge I have been alot more happier with my hair - I am still in need of cutting but feel like I can regain that length soon if I keep on with a structured process

I braided my hair Jan 1st indivdual braids

1. Baggy every night, I use a spray mixed with proclaim leave in-condition 1tsp of Sulpher powder, 2 tsp of Castor oil, and a little Grapeseed oil.

2. I started taking Nixoin Pills every day 1 a day as recommended

3. I DC weekly with a Black tea Rinse.

4. every 3 to 4 weeks I do a protein DC

5. I drink lots of water

6. Oh and I did buy a head massager that I use almost every night for about 20 mins.:yep:

7. I don't know if this has anything to do with it but in case it does I do teach 7 zumba classes a week which causes me to head sweat like crazy

when i started the challenge on my length check t shirt I was on number 5, i trimmed abut 2 1/2 weeks ago that took me back to in between 4 and 5, and i did a length checked today and I am back to number 5 yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
i would like to post the pic but for whatever reason the trim pic is refusing to upload, i have to wait until hubby comes back and help me! otherwise i will wait till end of february to post new pics!
I think the healthy diet and high proteins is really helping!

just steaming steaming steaming, slept overnight with conditioner added some more for my treatment, I think a light blowdry then bun is my staple for this month to see how that goes

I am sticking with baggying every night and steam 2 a week
also sticking with the LOC method using s-curl - walnut oil - curls whipped cream
 
Hmmm this sounds very very interesting... Is it too late to join? If so I might just follow the directives and lurk :)
Happy Hair Growing Ladies
 
I haven't done an official length check, but my hair is pretty much the same length as it was a few months ago, and I don't know why. I think I need to go back to the baggy method.

Tonight I moisturized my hair and sealed with my oil mix. I then sealed my ends with my oil mix.

I baggy every single night, and i think it is hekping a lot!
 
i know we were not suppossed to do any cutting on our hair buuut, i been holding on to splits and im never gonna maintain. i went ahead and got rid of an inch. my hair feels amazing now! and no broken hairs all over my hands. now into protect mode:grin: i am a little past cbl grazing apl i think. ill post a pic as soon as i get this new pic phone. itll be my first pic on lhcf!
 
Does anyone think that baggying every night may weaken the strands? I havent heard anything or felt anything strange...but I'm just starting out and I'm wondering.

Thanks for the heads up! I just have to make sure I balance it out with protein since I tend to be deficient sometimes.

greenandchic - remember growth is from the scalp, so concentrate on scalp massages etc :)
