12 inches in 12 Months 2012!

I would like to join. Intend to do better this year. Almost BSL and ultimately aiming for WL.

_Scalp massages 2-3 times a week using castor or coconut oil.
_Increase water and fruit intake.
_Vitamins: Biotin, MSM, Vit D, Chlorella.
_ Moisturize nightly, sleep with silk scarf
_ Increase protein intake
_ Walk!
 
Giving my hair a break with some single twists up in a French Twist. I'm still baggying at night. I may wear my hair out tomorrow or Sunday (depends on if I go on a date).

Yes, I grew only 4 inches in a year.

I think I'm right around there, but I won't know for sure unless I do a color test. I don't know how to color my hair so it will be interesting. I think I will maybe do a couple highlights - just a slight color lift.

Here ya go! I didn't grow 2 inches in 2 months, but I think I got about 1 1/2". When I length check again in April, I'll be sure to wear the same tank for comparison. It's kinda hard to compare with my beginning pic, cuz I'm wearing a turtleneck sweater. I can tell it's grown, though.

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.

transitioning? - your hair looks lovely & lush!

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 :)

SkySurfer - this is the most amazing feeling when having braids or weave right!?

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.

nyreeroberts1 - I Defo see thickness and growth! Keep it up girly :)

I am trying to detox my way to at least an inch a month. Applying my onion mask today. The real test will come at year end. If I am tailbone length; I definitely made it :lachen:
 
Doing well! I am getting good growth. I've been wearing a half wig for the last 2 weeks and cowashing about twice per week. Still on my vitamin regimen and oiling my scalp with my growth concoction nightly :)
 

I am doing fine.

I am still trying to obtain my inches and this was my routine for today:

Prepoo'ed today with Chicoro's moisture drench avg/evoo/evco prepoo:lick:,
Shampooed with Avalon Organics Biotin thickening shampoo
Black tea and caffeine rinsed
Currently DCing with Keracare Creme Humecto:lick:
Will be using Keracare leave-in after washing out my dc:lick:
Sealing with JBCO

I may have to do some kind of scalp massage but I might do that tomorrow with my sulfur mix.

So far so good. Daily moisture with Donna Marie Hair Whip (need to order more), sealing ends with light oil and baggy nightly. Its actually doing better for my hair than constant updos and other protective styles.

I hurt my kneck, back and shoulder a few days ago. So I haven't been doing the massages or doing much of anything to my hair. It sort of hurts to lift my arm.
 
stil here, bunning most of the time and decided to do length check every 3 months instead! will still post here!
 
Still sticking to everything in all my challenges, ghe, sulfur, 12 in 12. I see progress using a snippet of hair I clipped from the back of my head...measuring it, seeing how last month it flung it's self out of my twist because it was still too short to stay in line with everybody else. This month it is long enough to stay in the twist. :lol: yeah it sounds redic but that's my mini way of checking length. Real length check comparison will come at the end of the month.
 
I have not baggied in a loooong while, but my hair needs it tonight. So I am massaging my scalp with some sulfur mix, moisturizing with BB Oil Moisturizer and sealing with JBCO. I will DC again tomorrow but I don't know what I will be using for that as yet.
