slacking but back on track, need some half wig / phony pony recommendations. I need to put my hair away but not doing braids or weaves
 
Hello All,
I am the queen of lurkers mostly because I am old and need my daughter to post my progress pics etc .... However, I got my 1 inch since last month thanks to your encouragement and input.I started right at the point where the neck and shoulder meet BTW.

The reason for this post is to share my Viviscal code for a discount for a three month supply at this site:http://www.retailmenot.com/view/viviscal.com#c3329436.

Of course it is possible and probable this is posted elsewhere but this product along with NuHair and co-washing has helped me alot! I am 57 years old and am having fun getting my hair back.

Thanks again on behalf of all lurkers!

I'm back after a long hiatus. Usually when it's time to renew my subscription, I take some time off. I haven't been getting an inch per month because I'm simply not consistent with my supplements and topical. However, I have gotten over my average of 1/2 inch per month so I'll take it.

Going forward, I'm really going to have to figure some things out. My husband informed me yesterday that my "hair stuff" is stinking up the place & is all in his pillow now. I'm probably going to stop with the MTG so that I can remain married. So either I'll have to make my own or figure out something else for a topical.
 
I don't know how much growth I've had but my hair is certainly growing. I am trying to drink more water and eat healthier.
 
Hi! You can check out the sulfur challenge for ideas on recipes.

quick update, have been trimming thinning ends every month since january! noticed lots of splits and midshaft split, due to the use of a nylon brush and a semi hair dye!!
Trimmed again yesterday, but happy because i think i got rid of all the damages! i haven't done a length check in ages, but will be glad if i am still APL by the end of the month, was very close to BSb, but the damaged ends had to go!!!:grin:
I also found out that my hair hates rinses, i will stick with henna.
I did a hardcore protein last saturday( dudley drc28), it helps a lot, and i have decided to be more diligent with my proteins and dust without fail every 8 wks.
my hair has been growing quite fast, but my mistakes costed me!! oh well, we learn from our mistakes!!!!!
 
Had some setbacks, but back on it. It's 8mths left in the year, how wonderful if I could get 8 inches forreal! I'm not really doing any growth aids though unless you count daily washing, but that's just a staple in my routine now. I'm adding coconut oil to my scalp in the morning (real quickly), but don't think that'll add to growth. But here's to HHG!

Don't know what I have right now. Last sew in installation I cut off the last two inches of my relaxer. Just got tired of it. Anywho, that was last month so I maybe half way through those two inches. I will take down maybe this weekend. We will see.

Ok, it is almost May, and we have 8 inches to grow. So I challenge every member of this challenge to 'write the vision and make it plain'. The past is the past, let us move on in hair growth. Here are the tools, you have to get a picture of some hair eight inches longer than yours and post a picture of you in it. Fill free to post vision boards, Future hair styles in your journey to eight inches. My post will be forthcoming

1. Picture in Eight inches Longer Hair. (have fun)
2. Pull on it and do a length check, just like it is yours
3. Date that length check December 2012
4. Complete the following dated goals with growth based upon where your hair will be if you retain growth of one inch per month.
Example
June: BSL
Sept: MBL
Dec: WL
5. Tell us which tools you are going to use to attain that growth among the choices below.

1 inch per month of retention tools:
a. Faith in God
b. Prayer/ Meditation
c. Vision Boards
d. Dreaming
e. Positive Affirmations
f. Scriptures
g. Anything else that is known to increase growth

6. Check in every once in a while and tell us how your vision tools are working for you.
 
If I retain 4 inches by the end of the year, i will be almost BSL (my next length milestone)
If I retain 8 inches by the end of the year, I will be slightly past mid back length.
Either way I am prepared to see my hair flourish, I'm keeping my hopes on the conservative side, and going for BSL at least.

Da Plan! :

1.Prayer and Meditation
2. Stress Reduction
3. More self respect: i.e. having more patience with my hair, eating right, taking my vitamins, drinking water, working out regularly
4.Protective styling
5. Scalp massages with almond oil/coconut oil/castor oil
And a whole lotta hope and faith!

I'm confused about the "picture in Eight inches Longer Hair"

@Seamonster, @NJoy , which scripture do you think can be appropriate ?
Click to expand...


g.lo

Oh my. There are several scriptures. But I ground myself in what Jesus said:

Mark 11:42

"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."


Wooo!!! It doesn't get any better than that. \o/
 
Hey Seamonster!

I personally try not to pray on hair growth as much as that God make me healthy on the inside out (since hair is a part of an outward showing of health it's like a given in my mind lol) but my plan is:

1) LESS STRESS!!! I have soo much going on: wedding planning, school, preparing for the CPA. But I'm realizing that if I pray, I don't need to worry. And if I'm going to worry, what's the use praying? So I'm just praying to the Lord daily that he allow me to get through all of this and manage my time wisely (which means I'm supposed to stay off of here but I'm ducking out in a few lol) This also means praying for health as I'm not getting as much sleep as I need and all

2) Exercise: since I started exercising at least 3X per week my growth has taken off everywhere!! (Unfortunately meaning I have to shave more lol)

3) Vitamins: these have definitely helped with the quality of my hair, skin, concentration, memory, moods, PMS, etc. Yay!

4) Henna: this stuff has helped with retention and shedding 100X over. I always sleep too deep when I use it though. Get up to go to the bathroom feeling like a zombie and tripping over my feet. It's karishma henna and the combo of herbs in that just helps me sleep so peacefully that I'm always sure to plan it on a night when I don't have to do anything the next day :yep:

5) Having faith that it will all come together eventually. I'm so surprised at my progress sometimes. It's not amazing but I can definitely visualize having my full edges by time as my wedding day comes around. This thread and countless others have been so helpful and I don't think I can ever repay you ladies enough :grouphug:
