Hello! I would like to join I haven’t part of a challenge in some years now. My hair thrived really well looking back on pics, but I’ve experienced a major, major set back and I’m trying to get things back on track.

Hello! I would like to join I haven’t part of a challenge in some years now. My hair thrived really well looking back on pics, but I’ve experienced a major, major set back and I’m trying to get things back on track.

Tonight I applied MT, oil and massaged my scalp upside down. The thing about massage is the detangling needed. Also my ends are not happy and really shows the damage! I probably need to cut! I’m trying not to, I’d lose alot more inches, but I’m tempted. I applied a lot of conditioner + water + Carol’s Daughter Marguerite’s magic restorative cream. I’m going to try to give this a fair shot along with protective styling (try to cut down on my wash and gos), it’s been extremely cold!

Still keeping up with my supplements.

I bought a rice water and biotin spray last summer that I barely used. It definitely contains fermented rice I added rosemary EO to mask the smell and applied it the night before I washed my twists. Not repurchasing, but I am glad I found a way to use it up.

I washed my twists last night. Will apply topicals either tonight or tomorrow.

I lazily did some oil, MT and inverted for a few minutes yesterday. Tonight I will moisturize and probably do a small massage.

 

[Kandygurl]

Today I started with my MSM water mix, sprayed my hair/scalp, massaged, then applied deep conditioner. I let that sit under a plastic cap while I did some things around the house. Rinsed that out and added ALOT of conditioner back in and sealed with oil.

Wow your hair in your avi!!!

Thanks so much, love!
I'm working my way back to my avi hair after chopping it off.

 

[Kandygurl]

Took some MSM and will use my MSM water spray.

Still doing the viviscal 2x a day. I’m trying to remember to take my collagen powder. I steamed my hair—-for the first time in years.

 

[Kandygurl]

So far I love my MSM water mix. Today I used it to of course wet my scalp, but also, I applied it to my hair to refresh my curls instead of cowashing. My hair actually looked pretty good today

Wonder how long it will take to see my progress from all that I’m doing I’m grateful for my growth so far and I’m excited to see my fully natural hair again!

 

[Kandygurl]

Glad I came in here! I forgot to take my msm today. I did use my spray however. Let me go mix it up!

I got distracted and did not ‘mix it up’ last night. I did however remember to kick my morning off with using my spray and taking msm. I wasn’t too fond of my hair style today… I need to do a massage and maybe I’ll apply some MT.
Guess I will be cowashing in the morning.

Still taking my supplements. I'll use the topicals after I wash my twists tomorrow. I can't decide if I want to keep retwisting the roots or take them out next week. They'll be a month old by then. Twists this size usually last 8 weeks for me.

For reference:

@weavepat

That's great for 4 weeks of growth!!
Do you have plans for your hair in the near future? If not, I'd keep them in and just refresh the roots. Get the extra 4 weeks you usually expect from the style.

Today I cowashed, made sure there was plenty of conditioner on my hair, applied my msm spray, MT and did a massage. I need to take my supplements, hopefully I remember.

Thanks! As far as plans, I will take them out and style my hair as usual. I'll use this as an opportunity to work on style maintenance techniques and transition styles as I become more active.

Oil makes my scalp itchy in October I had a full head of hair waiting on the derm to get back to me

 

[Kandygurl]

My fenugreek capsules and vitamin d have arrived and I have added it into my daily line up! Sloppily applied MT and my MSM spray on sopping hair. I need to make another batch of my MSM spray and use my new spray continuous bottle

Maybe you could try a water-based scalp tonic instead?
You can take those good ingredients and boil them in water to make a tea. Strain it and then use the tea on your scalp without oil.
