If I'm guessing correctly, she wants to colour her hair to see how much it grows out per month. This way she can get her actual growth rate from the un-coloured roots, because retention rate may not be a reliable indicator of growth rate :)

Anyhoo..I'm still around..upping my gym workouts also..I got a gym membership at my uni! Hope to see increased growth for the next month :)

Still baggying each night and its making a huge difference in terms of breakage.

Inspiired - I do henna my hair now, but I've been mixing it with indigo lately...

greenandchic - love baggying! I just try to make sure it goes over my hair line as much as poss :)

Yeah sounds good! Henna + Indigo = Black. Henna + Honey = Red! It's possible to dye your hair naturally with henna :)

I made a spritz with Irish moss and a few other things and sealed with a half and half mix of hso and walnut oil my to came out so shiny and soft! I'm starting to get amazing results with my hair lately its becoming more predictable.
 
For those who have actually gained an inch in one month, can you please share what your reggi is, or what you think it is that actually gave you that inch? :grin:

I would love to know what I need to add/change about my regimen.
 
I have some exams tomorrow (well today now, cos i'm being an insomniac) and after that i will hit the gym again!
I definitely feel stronger when I workout and I sleep better...which can only be a good thing!

And in the evening it's party time, to celebrate the end of exams!! I will do my hair and post a pic for you ladies...i will maybe use some hairsticks..but I don't wanna poke someone's eye out on the dancefloor, cos I go hard when I dance :lol:

Hmm..we shall see... :) But first I need to bang out this exam and get it over with haha.
 
Just realized I was in this challenge. Dont think I posted my starting pic and reggie.

Right now I'm CBL. I was bee mine sulphur serum every other day. I usually protective style with a wig during the week. On the weekends I usually wear my hair out. I've been trying to mositurize and seal my ends nightly. If I get my inch a month I will be WL by the end of the year. That would be awesome.

These pics are both from 2/14/12. This is freshly showed hair. The first pic is stretched and the second is not.

I'm not sure If i'm getting extra growth or braid slippage....
Usually the slippage i get, if any, remains localised in one area..i.e. a few braids...but right now its ALL over my head..I'd like to think it was some extra hair growth...but we'll see :)
 
Taking it back ole skool - DCing under the dryer with Queen Helene Cholesterol mixed with coconut oil. I'm straightening on Friday and will wear it straight for 10 days or so.

@transitioning?, if the ppics you posted are where you are now, you are definitely not CBL. You appear to be closer to BSL to me. Even your unstretched hair appears to be shoulder length. You have a great start:yep:.

I am officially buying a "length check" t-shirt after I post this:) The black t-shirt isn't cutting it.
From Jan-Feb...I started to take Hairfinity vitamins, started using coconut oil on/for everything:), started using Quene Helene Cholesterol for damaged hair, and TRYING MY BEST not to over use my flat iron. Just did the roots today after my rollerset:( The biggest thing I did was to cut off about 1-2 inches of hair to layer it and start off with healthy ends. I also colored my hair with Bigen Oriental Black. I now have a consistent regiment, so it should be a breeze sticking to it.

That pic is playing tricks lol. I'm no where near BSL. My hair grows at diff lengths so right now only my nape is apl. Hopefully it won't take too long for the rest to catch up.

Thanks for the encouragement. It's def needed.
 
Since I started baggying my hair every night, I notice less breakage for sure. I've been using Donna Marie Hair Whip to moisturize and soften my ends (especially since I've been wearing it out more) and my oil blend to seal. I was using mostly water before to moisturize but it wasn't enough. My hair thrives on conditioners.
 
ahh its sooo good to hear everyone is doing well

im a lil fed up wth my hair atm i dont really know what to do wth it atm , i thik i need a low maintenance style where i dont hav to fuss wth it much but jst bored wth it

greenandchic hiar looks gorjus
 
am doing a 2 day intense baggy ( read lazy ) treatment, I have my vatika deep treatment in my hair with a shower cap on and a beenie over it, luckily no one cares how I look

I am just reapplying the vatika each night and morning, and will do my regular steam on saturday

I'm thinking about doing a "color test" to see how much my hair is growing each month. Being natural, its really hard to tell.

Thoughts?

Good idea. I did that one time when I didn't think my hair was growing. I dyed an inconspicuous spot in the top/middle of my head blonde. Turns out I was a slow grower.

fairyhairy i forgot to thank you for the recommendation. The Vatika deep conditioner is great. It's def a keeper as it makes my hair very soft.
