Inspired njoy answered it. there is a story in the bible where Jacob had sheep look at spots and then they became spotted, Genesis 30:32-43. The bible backs up the theory of visualization for hair color. When I saw Njoy's picture I remembered this scripture. So I am basically saying take a picture with your goal length so that you can see your vision and make it more real for yourself.
g.lo
Isaiah 61:3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion--to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.
Psalm 139:14
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

My hair 8 in. longer would be slightly past full WL. I hope all the layers can grow out.
TOOLS:

• Regimen: Wigs provide the best retention for me so I am sticking to what is tried and true.
• Diet and exercise: Increase my water intake, eat more vegetables and fruits, walking and running.
• Take my vitamins faithfully.
ETA: My tools include most of the techniques and recommendations in the OP.

Write the Vision and make it plain. that is the scripture I currently have on my vision board anyway. I also have pictures of long healthy hair. whooo hoooo.
I BC'd on March 27 and I cant find the pic that I have of the length of the front of my hair. . .I knows its around somewhere. BUT I am claiming at least 3/4 of an inch because when I BC'd I was 4-5" and now I'm measuring 5-6.5" whoop whoop!!!! My hair is thriving.

hi! in addition to the scriptures Seamonster gave, I also like Song of Solomon 4:1
"Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead." Because history has it that those goats have very long jet black thick hair so i use that one a lot especially when I remember

Here I grow again!

SN: I LOVE Song of Solomon. Thank you for quoting from it.

I don't think it's shorter however I think it's good to do length check pictures every three months rather than monthly so that you can see the full growth!

I just think the styles that work for others don't really work for me, I want to decide on a style and stick with it for the next 8 months it must be a stretched style and easy to wash and deep condition

Made a mix of 15% MSM lotion & a tube of MN along with some onion & garlic extract & lavender EO today. Sticking with it. Of course the goal is an inch per month but I'd be satisfied if I could get 6 by the end of the year!

Hi there! I apply either once per day or every other day. Before it was morning and night but that was too much oil so I switched to every other day for a bit. I recently just put everything (my brahmi-bhringraj oil, sulfur 8 and MN) into one bottle and use that mix daily. This has been best cuz my hair doesn't get very oily at all plus I get a daily dose of all my favorite growth aides
Hope that wasn't tmi lol

there is something in the UK water because the women over there never have a problem with growing their hair
They have super hard water over there. These wonderful ladies are achieving this despite their water.

Hi everyone!
I was supposed to be in this challenge. I bleached the ends and dyed my hair myself for the first time in my life in late Jan, early Feb and it basically fell out. I also had to trim it a couple of times so now my hair is thinner and shorter. I tried garlic, protein, deep moisturizing conditioners and steaming to stop the shedding, but I didn't have a healthy scalp. It was sore. I gave up for a while, but now I feel better.
If I can jump back into this challenge, it'll be a 5 inches in 5 months challenge. That should counteract the dumb things I did earlier in the year.
