2 inches in one month

[amorette]

I have another list of questions for you: 1.you said you did a high protien diet last year...does that mean high protein and no carb or low carbs, or just extra protein 2.what about amino acids? you mentioned i could have a protien shake instead. do i need extra aminos if i am taking a multi vitamin plus hairnourish, msm, biotin and folic acid? tonight i went and bought all the vitamins, but instead of primrose or flaxseed, i got omega 3 and 6 fish oils, do i still need the other oils?

 

[ekomba]

that is AWESOME and I want to do the same thing. My hair is shoulder length now - it grows between 1/2-3/4 inches per month currently...so i dont see why i cannot get it to grow 2 inches and be close to my waist by the end of the year as well -- it seems crazy, but i beleive in your results, and i think i can do the same thing - 3b/c hair type...what is mtg? do you think primrose or flaxseed is necessary when i have omega 3 AND 6 fish oils?

to really increase your growth its feasible because when i was taking protein shakes every morning, eating loads of fruits and vegetables and nuts and taking vits and mtg, i think it was the healthiest state my hair has ever been and it sprouted so rapidly no lie i could not keep cornrows for more than 2 weeks i would get the growth i usually get in 2 months and my african braiders would see me two weeks later and ask me to tell them my secrets everyone will gather and i gave her the biotin and told her which vits to buy for faster growth or if you already have them omega 3 and 6 its ok but i know tha primrose oil and flaxseed oils are not made by the body and it makes your hair shiny,moisturized and lubricated and help to grow you could always add a tablespoon of flaxseed oil over your salad with your olive oil . you can really get more than 1" once you combine the right amount of amino acids, vits and minerals that s why formula h37 i think works because they combine everything

I am sorry if you have mentioned this already somewhere in your responses but was taking MSM a part of your process too?

in my high protein diet i was drinking one protein shake for breakfast, taking 2 or 3 tablespoons of twinlab amino fuel, taking my vits and also L-cysteine, i was eating one egg with a soy pattie for breakfast and one apple, lunch would be either a salad with a grilled salmon or baked chicken with green beans or a can of tuna or salmon with baby carrots or a boiled potato with vegetables broccoli or asparagus. a lot of onions and garlic that was my high protein diet and dinner would be a protein shake and almonds. i never do no carbs you need good carbs like fruits and vegetables its essential that s why i cant do atkins but you need high protein like lean meats, or soy substitute lots of sulfur prone food like garlic onions in all my dishes .

and if you get a good mulitvitamin for instance one a day or even solo multivit from gnc where you only have to take one and supplement with just one hair vitamins (usually a good hair vit already has the right amount of folic acid needed 400iu so you dont need to take more than that and has all the rest that you want) personally i hate ultranourishair it does not work for me but you can try i use vitol hair nails and skin or great hair both are time released meaning your body uses it through the day as opposed to right away and get rid of it unused, you then get biotin (i like puritan pride cause it s the smallest one like skittles but just check cause a good hair vitamin like vitol for instance already contains 3000mcg of biotin so its good) and than you can buy the powdered msm that you mix in your water so it means you could get away with taking just 2 or 3 pills everyday not bad

as far as other oils after its for hot oil treatments topical every 3 weeks prior to shampoo you could get a hot 6 oil treatment, wonder 8 or any good oil castor oil, almond oil, coconut oil,jojoba oil, rosemary oil or just get a blend check in my fotki for pix of my oils i use gueye s hair oil and wild growth hair oils the pix are inside hold on i ll post a link

Yes Marie170 i take 12,000mg daily of Carlson msm sulfur. I think it helped in my hair retention and accelerating the growth as well as softening the hair

 

[Hadiyah]

Thanks, ladies, I'll be checking it out!

 

[amorette]

where can i get these vitamins:vitol hair nails and skin or great hair ....why do you say that nourishair didnt work for you? did your growth slow down or something? I will tell you the dosages of stuff I am taking -combined with the nourishhair:
folic acid: 600,msm 2000mg, biotin 3700mcg, plus omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids...i ordered the mtg last night at well. I would rather take the pills than drink a powder - does that matter, or do they both accomplish the same thing? I also bought nioxin shampoo, conditioner and a leave in. I am going to get castor oil and evening primrose today... Anything else?

 

[amorette]

I am in on the waist length challenge...if i can maintain the 2 inches a month then we are looking at waist length in 10-12 months! I am in for the challenge!!!! i will keep you posted - i need to do a fotki site, and ill keep a journal and pics of my progress....ill take pics today!

Were you eating all of this at the same time. Because I LOVE PASTA, potatoes and tuna. So was this like a dish or did you eat them separately? I'm just being nosy

 

[lnana04]

Here's a website that lists foods high in protein. I thought fish was the main source of protein but I was wrong.

You can get the vitol hair nails skin or vitol great hair at GNC. GNC Ultranourishair is a great hair vitamin,very complete and recommended by the Bargello method. i dont understand but it does not work with me neither the GNC Ultra mega, the pills are too big for me and my body dont assimilate them, my urine is always bright neon yellow meaning that i m wasting the pill, i dont know if they cant dissolve in my body but as soon as i take them not shortly my urine is bright yellow and i dont see no growth with them so i guess it does not work with me but many do have success on it you can always try.

I loooove the Nioxin line i used the shampoo, the therapy conditioner i love the tingy feel of peppermint and the follicle booster regrew my chewed up hairline. Be careful with evening primrose oil though cause if you take a lot it will give you bigger boobs that s the only reason i stopped taking it but its great to calm period pains i miss it.

I think for a start you doing good just think of protective styles and develop a personalized regimen, decide if you want to wash your hair daily, twice a week, once a week or every 2 weeks anything longer than that is bad for the hair, try to limit your heat consumption to once a week or every 2 weeks if possible, avoid direct heat (blowdryers) then choose the topical products you will use and you set

wow Lnana04 that s just i needed thanks so much i m print it and take it with me to go grocery shopping so i can just circle the ones with high protein that i like to eat thanks i thought fish too thank you girl for the link!

 

[amorette]

oh i see...i measured my hair tonight and took pictures which i am going to post, and my hair measured 9.5 inches...so, I am really ready to see this miracle growth of 2 inches per month - i hope all of my efforts truly pay off - i am going to do an aphogee treatment tommorrow....stinky stuff...but i need it because i am still seeing breakage, and I don't understand why....

 

[secretdiamond]

Just a word of caution: Make sure to research and be extra careful of putting anything in OR on your body--- especially in excess amounts.

This is coming from someone who applies MTG once a week, but I made sure to do lots of searching through the forum and waited b4 trying it out. Also, some people seem to be extremely allergic to it (probably the sulfur). Do a quick search. There are TONS of threads on MTG to read through.

As for vitamins, I used to take them (Nourishair and Hair, Skin & Nails from GNC), but that only lasted 2 bottles. Now I only take a multi (sometimes, but I should be better about that). However, I am looking into taking MSM, but I'm still looking into that.

Just my 2 cents & Happy Hair Growing.

Actually, I read that it's the skin of the potatoes, especially iriish potatoes, which contains iodine and that is good for our hair growth and health.

 

[Candy_C]

A whollleee dish baby! A BIG ONE

i eat it very often as my mum works away and i'm too lazy to cook "big man food" so, i wack the potatoes in the microwave, then in the oven (skin) add grapeseed oil and cheese on top to make it crispy, lots of cheese, mix the tuna with mayo with a bit of salad on the side.

OOh thanks ISIS! it must be the iodine, (the skin is the BEST part) thats great stuff to hear, i thought i was goin mad.

oh great Isis thank you so much i m keep eating the skin then i loove it wow iodine so i dont need to buy the sea salt then great news girl

 

[amorette]

Ekomba,
I am already a 38DD, so i do not need evening primrose to make me any bigger - thanks for the warning! lol! maybe Ill focus on flaxseed.

 

[Isis]

oh great Isis thank you so much i m keep eating the skin then i loove it wow iodine so i dont need to buy the sea salt then great news girl

You're welcome but sea salt is still important for health (versus regular table salt) because of all the minerals it has that our bodies need.

hum thanks Isis i m trying to limit my salt intake cause i m scared of water retention . I m prone to it. i eat way too much salt in my food, do you think that sea salt would be more beneficial than say Mrs Dash blend of salt replacement? i even stopped putting salt in the rice, potato and pasta water but i have to have it in the meats hum decisions

I think that it's good to use salt sparingly, but your body does need the iodine in salt (if you are not getting it from other foods). I know that sea salt is better than regular table salt. Mrs. Dash is good, because it contains no salt - just herbs, so there is little to no sodium. I recently began using Bragg's Liquid Amino http://www.bragg.com/products/liquidaminos.html and I LOVE it. I use it for everything and haven't used salt in a long time. It's a protein based liquid seasoning derived from soybeans and it taste like soy sauce and has less sodium that salt and lots of protein. I also use it to make salad dressing. The company also makes Apple Cider Vinegar which I mix with the Liquid Amino and add a little flaxseed oil or EVOO and voila...a nice lowfat, healthy dressing. The Amino and Apple Cider Vinegar have 0 calories. You can get it from any health food store. HTH

Well all I can say is WOW. Ekomba, I've learned so much in this thread alone. 2 inches in a month is fabuloso. I took notes, so I should be adding a few things to my regimen.

Thanks everyone.

 

[cece22]

Ekomba,

Do tell where did you purchase this Carlson 12,000mg of MSM/Sulfer? I have been trying to find it.

Ekomba,

Hey Cece22, i went to the vitamin shoppe store and did not find it. But a few days ago i purchased it online at www.vitaminshoppe.com. You can find it there. Its called Carlson MSM Sulfur 200 grams(7oz) of powder. 1 teaspoonful (1 level blue scoopful) is 3 g of MSM and 1002mg of Sulfur. I take from 3 to 4 teaspoons in 64fl oz bottle of water daily and drink it througout the day. so 4 teaspoons equal to 12 grams or 12,000mg of msm and 4008mg of sulfur.
