I managed to complete day 6 of inverting last night, I was so tired and so ready to give up, but then I thought of this thread ....
One more day left (today) I would invert right now, but I've got a prepoo that needs to be washed out.

Just stopping in to make a note that I have grown a little over an inch (about 1.25") since my last pic. It's been about 3.5 weeks now. That's a slight increase from the <.5" every 2 weeks I was getting before I added VHF. And I only been using since last Tues. Hopefully it can improve even more with longer use lol. Yes, I am greedy and impatient with this hair growing business, can't help it!

Pics? Yes I took one but I won't post any new ones till I got my required 2". I'm sure that will be by mid November! Yay!

Still hiding my hair and spraying Xcel21 daily. I want to straighten my hair for Thanksgiving though.

What is this Xcel21?

 

[GGsKin]

What is this Xcel21?

It's (a growth spray) the new version of Surge- same ingredients, plus glycerin. There's an ever-growing thread I can't link on my phone but it should be on page 1.

Ok I will check it out? How is the scent? Can I use this on my daughter?

The smell isn't unpleasant. I don't see why you couldn't use on your daughter. The ingredients are posted in a pic of the bottle, in that thread.

It smells like braid sheen to me. I was thinking of using it on my daughter's hair too. She's 4

Yes! That's what it smells like. I couldn't pin point it but it reminded me of that hair/braid shop smell.

So, after my DominicanRepublic trip my wig is a mess and I really dont feel like dealing with it... So, the next course of action is Yarn braids. This way I can still get to my roots. The plan is to leave my hair alone for 8 full weeks. Then, redo them for another 8 weeks. Full protective mode. with any luck I will get to my goal lengths!

 

[Evolving78]

Cutting a lot of damaged ends from neglect left me a bit chopping in the front. Overall my ends are much better. I just wash and condition a lot. I got a couple of products, but using that stuff will cause buildup, so that's why I wash often.

 

[gvin89]

I've considered washing weekly....I'm trying to boost my moisture retention. It's time consuming, but necessary.

 

[Prettymetty]

I have been using Xcel21 twice a day since October 25th. It's too early to tell for sure, but I think I got some growth. I measured a strand from the front and back. Front is 14.5 inches. Back is 13. I will measure again in about 30 days.

I was becoming obsessive, so I had to put my hair in a beehive braid and I'm only taking it down every 2 weeks.

Girl, I'm about to put this hair up too. I want a change and hopefully it will help me retain something. I haven't retained since 2013 -14!

 

[faithVA]

There are onlyb7 weeks left. Whew time is flying. And with the holidays thrown in there the ne,the 7 weeks are going to fly by.

In two weeks it's Thanksgiving

 

[faithVA]

I hope I'm not excited to straighten my hair for nothing. I sure hope there's some growing going on that I can't see.

I took a length check pic earlier this week and just compared it to my starting pic for this challenge. I feel as though I'm making progress!
