what are these: mtg and cowashes, gueye s growth system -- im new to this so i dont know all the lingo -also can you tell me about the baggie system, and wow that seems alot of supplements you are taking..so if you dont mind, can you kinda break down what i should do in hair growth for dummies format...
Hey Amorette, i understand i will try to break it down lol at hair growth for dummies
Basically, your hair will grow regardless its always growing. Now the 2 key questions you want to consider and that will try to answer are 1) how to retain what you grow and 2) how to grow more/get faster growth than your regular monthly growth knowing that an average growth is 1/2 " per month and to some it can be less (mine is 1/4 per month without vits so its extremely slow). Now some depending on how you comfortable choose to just do 1) and retain the hair they grow the best way possible through low manipulation,leaving the hair alone, protective styles (buns, cornrows, braids), baggie method (using a plastic cap on your hair to preserve moisture and thining of ends , washing your hair with conditioner only (cowashes to keep moisture and soft hair cause the shampoo is made of drying agents) you can also cover the ends with oil,grease or vaseline) but the irony is by using the first method you not only keep what you grow all year long but you allow your hair not to break as it grows, thus showing your true length.
Now in addition to question 1), the way we live, the way we eat and the way we have been raised to care for our hair, our habits, everything determine the health of our hair if it s grows to its full capacity. You could be doing just step one and retaining what you grow and be content with your growth monthly or you could decide that you may be lacking some nutrients and decide to either supplements with consumption of vitamins, certain foods to accelerate your growth. thats question 2) For instance vitamins like msm and foti will extend your growth cycle instead of the hair falling off earlier and allow you to grow longer hair.
2) How do i get faster growth, if i dont have adequate alimentations and dont receive my supply of daily nutrients that my body needs?. You have to understand that any vitamins you take will first go to the body to fill its needs and what is not used will go to hair and nails and your health first shows in your nails.that s why when you feel a vit is not working and not showing in your hair maybe your needs are so high that everything went to the body. SO you have to make sure you get your daily needs met through a good multivit. the bargello regimen thus recommends for instance taking a multivitamin that satisfies your daily recommendations, then you can add a hair vitamin like GNC NOurishair or Gueye s vitamins or any hair vitamins to your liking as well as some aminos acids, (you can take a protein shake for that), evening primrose oil or flaxseed oil and biotin and msm. But if you had to pick 3 as a starter i would suggest a good multivit, any hair vit and biotin (msm if you make it 4 haha) this as far as vitamins for the inside.
Now you can also apply topical aids, the gueye s growth system is just a brand that developed a line of products that gives you faster growth with an hair growth oil, vitamins, conditionner, shea butter cream.... here s a link

now mtg Mane Tail Groom by Shapleys is also a topical product made for horses to grow their manes and treat their fungal problems, they are many other ways to accelerate your growth for instance adding oils like castor or Wild growth hair oil or gueye s or mtg to the baggy system, you can also adopt a high protein diet, conditioner washes.
In fact i find that combining 1) and 2) is a great way to encourage faster growth. The hair grows best when its left alone meaning low heat, low manipulation but it does not hurt to help it a lil bit
dont follow me i m a crazy woman and knows my body but just doing the basics taking the basic vitamins , incorporating a few oils or products here and there and developping a sound regimen that you can stick to and that is not too drastic for you is key to faster growth. i tried to break it as easy as i could hope it helps.
