I purchased some MSM tonight, so will take that along with Biotin for the next 60 days. I have a good idea where my hair is starting, so I can gauge to see if there is any real difference. I have averaged 1/2 inch a month so far since my big chop but I need to trim at least 1/4" next month. Hopefully I will still hit my target.

Followed my regimen today. My hair feels so moisturized.

I tried MSM and it didn't really make a difference, lol. Do you need to trim a whole 1/4" off?

I'm back in wigs. I really enjoyed having my hair in braids and I think I'll braid again very soon, 
. When I took them down, my hair was well moisturized probably due to the braids spray that I was applying.

When I chopped in August I was using the MSM with Biotin plus my green smoothie and I seemed to have good growth. I ran out of MSM and things seemed to slow down. So I will evaluate over the next 2 months. It was only $5 for a 60 day supply, so it won't hurt.
I do think I need 1/4" off. I don't think I removed all of the bad ends when I chopped because I didn't want to go less than 2". And then after I chopped, I am manipulating it daily just to make it wearable. So my ends have sustained a lot of abuse over the past 2 months. I think if I don't trim 1/4" then I will end up with more breakage and stunt my retention.

Then it's better to trim it. Starting fresh is always a good idea and hopefully you can still hit your target. And where did you get MSM at $5 for a 60 day supply, lol?????

I bought MSM at CVS. It was probably originally $6+ but I always have CVS coupons so I get a lot of discounts.

Hiiiii everyone...just an update,
Been sick the past week, so I've unfortunately been neglecting my hair. I've only kept it moisturized with my Cantu Shea Butter cream. But I will be taking down my twists tomorrow, co washing, and re-installing my twists.
I also will be experimenting with a new concoction I made: Megatek, tea tree oil, and MN.

Checking in: I love this challenge! It's keeping me on track, I feel like I have been treating my hair so nice haha. It's been almost a month since I last flat ironed my hair, and I have no desire to do so anytime soon! I keep my hair is a braidout...I love it!
I've been moisturizing and sealing, I'm Dc-ing right now, and I think the Bee Mine serum is really making my hair grow! There's still some problems, tangles and break, but it's getting better

Checking in. I was in a rush today so i only prepoo with AOGBP for 15 minutes. And i didnt DC with heat today. I will have to compensate by DCing with heat midweek.

Staying away from heat is my main problem! I always get happy with my length and then I fry it and have to cut
I have to stop!

Have you had the same "frying" experience with rollersetting and wet wrapping as well? I'm curious because once I relax in 2 weeks, 2 days, I want to return to rollersetting and wet wrapping.

I'm trying to stretch the longest I ever have without working up to it but the more I go the easier it is to handle my ng. Hopefully I gain an inch or two. I have doo gro stimulating oil, profectiv growth oil, softee castor oil, and some others. I hope that helps me reach my goal.

I've been questioning why I'm even taking HSN vits...

I think my hair vitamins just had the same ingredients as my daily vitamin, so I wasn't deficient in any of those ingredients so they didn't do anything. But MSM and biotin are definitely not in my regular vitamins.

I hardly roller set because I can't do it myself...I'm pretty sure the frying is from using direct heat too often, so I don't think rollersetting will be a problem!

Hi ladies, I am happy to read all of the posts about the growth/health that your hair has ... congrats!!
Last weekend, I took my mini braids out and washed with a chelating shampoo (loved how all of the grime came off my hair.) After letting the shampoo sit for ten minutes, I rinsed it out and deep conditioned with Nexxus Humectress, grapeseed oil and a cap fill of SAA for an hour. Finally, I rinsed the d/c out with cold water and twisted my hair for my 'out' style. I plan on re-braiding my hair this weekend- starting tomorrow to be exact.
I got to tell you, my hair has some definite ack'rite ... I don't know if it was the chelating shampoo getting the grime off my hair or my use of distilled water or what. I got my hair styled in a bun, the sides of my hair are laying down with no product on it. I am in disbelief at how well behaved my hair is and I am loving it.

Checking in, I'm GHEing overnight. Last weekend, I did a length check because I was 15 months post-BC and the bangs are right on top my lips so it's definitely growing.

Still cowashing my way to 2 in 4. It's the only thing I do consistently but my hair is doing well.
