12 inches in 12 Months 2012!

addaboutmyhair said:
I'm so excited. I'm doing 90% of the list already. This is the push I need.
My current length is barely APL. I'm texlaxed and touch up twice a year. I alternate bunning and weaves. And I just cured a breakage issue using lhcf.

Happy New Year!

Can the UK ladies please share what (shop bought) deep conditioners they are using.
I recently realised the majority of what i have is protein based and i need moisture.

At the moment i have...
Keracare Humecto
CON Argan Oil Intensive Treatment (i have a sachet that i've not yet used but i love the sulphate free shampoo)
Aussie Moist 3 Minute Miracle
Nuaat Silicon Mask (so far i have only used this on my dd and the condition and shine was amazing)

What are you ladies using?

I'm using ORS Replenishing Pak, Nexxus Humectress, AO WC and Silicon Mix. ORS is my main DC though (my hair loves it!), the others I just use when I've run out of ORS, and I use Nexxus Humectress whenever I've done a hardcore protein treatment.

You are taking waaaay too many vitamins :yep: you are going to do more damage than good.

Ok ladies, thanks for accepting me on this forum. I had to cut about an inch and a half off my hair due to severe damages. The brings my current length to ear length at the sides, eyebrow in front and then neck length from the back. Below is my regimen

Drink at least 2 litres of water a day
Take 2 nioxin tablets a day
10000 mcg of Biotin a day
2 tablets of hairfinity a day
3000 mg of MSM
Take a multivitamin everyday
Apply MTG mixed with MN every evening and baggy overnight
Apply WGHO mixed with Virgin Hair Fertilizer every morning
Co wash and deep condition two times a week
Moisturise and seal every day

Am also going to increase my protein consumption to 120g per day

Thats my reggie for now but am seriously thinking of adding fish oil. What do you ladies think? Is that a good combination?

will post my begging pic this evening.

Here are the vitamins (hair and non-hair) I am taking:

Alive Multivitamins- 1x a day
C0Q10- 100mg 1x a day
Biotin- 5,000mg 2x a day
MSM- 1,500mg 2x a day
Viviscal- 2x a day

Is this too much? Should I be cutting down on anything?

I am in! I am all for ambitious goals in all aspects of my life. I don't know what I'll do with 12 more inches of hair, but I'll figure it out when I get there.

ETA:

Current Length: full neck length? Beginning shoulder length? I don't know really
Goal: My ultimate goal is MBL so if I am successful in this challenge, I should reach APL in June and MBL in December :look::lachen:

Welcome hun! I'm just hoping your not taking too much internally as vitamins could be overlapping. Have you considered asking your general practitioner to review the combination of products?

I like these ideas:
"Apply MTG mixed with MN every evening and baggy overnight
Apply WGHO mixed with Virgin Hair Fertilizer every morning
Co wash and deep condition two times a week
Moisturise and seal every day" and the protein/water :)

When you say fish oil do you mean internally?

Inspired, thanks for your concern. I havent consulted my general practitioner yet but hope to do so. However, Ive been taking this combination for a while just that ive not been consistent and have had no negative effects. With regards to fish oil, I mean internally

Once again, I 'd suggest talking to your General Practioner first before talking all of those at once :)

Does every use or want to use length check tees? I'm looking to give them out for free in the near future, what would you want on them?

@Inspriired For free?? That is very generous but don't u need to at least cover your expenses?
I'm not fussed with anything fancy just some lines and numbers on the back that start above APL.

I'd love to give them out for free, it's just gonna take a lot of planning as I'll be doing it on my own :) - could take a few months because I'm very busy but it's something that I'll definitely do!

What clay will you be using? Do 'care' and try and do as many protective styles as you can do.

Are the hairs breaking, relaxed?

I got my HS Combs!!!

I ordered late New Years Eve and they came today so, including a bank holiday, they took just 3 days to arrive from Belgium. Amazing.

:yay:

I'm very tempted to undo just one braid and comb it but i won't because no comb is that magic, my hair will still break unless it's wet :look:

Inspiired In the box where it says, 'post comment as', what do i put? I've never posted a comment on a blog before :look:. Can i not just post as a guest?

I'm not sure why blogspot set it like that but do you have a google account you can log in with?
