2024 2025 Growth Aids Challenge

[mzteaze]

Day 2 of Fenugreek sprout rinse followed by an old scalp mix. Slathered my hair in my ABC condish sealed with herbal oil. My scalp feels very alive!

I want to try this rinse. Maybe in the summer when I work my way thru all of this other product stacked in my stash.

 

[MzSwift]

I think I'm gonna stick to rinsing only 2-3 times a week. I do believe that too much of a good thing can be bad. Also, my hair takes all day to dry in these plaits.
I'm gonna continue to add sprout rinse water to my daily Ayurvedic tea spray.

Stick with those Grow It Long ladies and you'll get to BSL in no time!

I don't take enough photos to participate in challenges - I've chosen to do that for my own mental health. lol
But I do lurk and I look forward to seeing your milestone updates!

Thanks! I'll try to follow in your footsteps with consistency

I am buying one of those Red Light Therapy Caps from a friend

I hope it's decent. I need to ask her why she's selling it again.

 

[mzteaze]

I had microneedling done yesterday. Next appointment will new next month for it.

 

[MzSwift]

Accidentally GHE'd for 2 days, due to laziness. Just took off my plastic cap and my hair is moist but not wet. Love it!

I put my men's satin skull cap back on and tied on a bandana. That's my day. lol
Something's working bc I have a TON of new growth!

Is this Painful?

Where I am getting my Skin Care done, she suggested that I have this for my face to enhance Collagen production, but I want less needle action as I can get away with, so...so far, I have not booked a session

I've had folks say it hurts and others say "it's not bad" (I know this is Scalp vs Face), but the MicroNeedling caught my eye.

I may look at something else like a Hydra Facial or Diamond Facial instead. I'm Chicken.

It really depends on the depth of the needles. For my scalp, they tend to use a shallow depth microneedler (roughly 0.025 to 0.500), so there is no pain. However, I had microneedling done by my dermatologist on my scar tissue. Even with numbing cream, that was uncomfortable BUT the end results were undeniable! So at least the end results made the pain worth it. I don't know that I'd trust anyone but my dermatologist to do it on my face though.

Also, don't waste your money on Hydrafacial unless you have money to burn OR you get a huge discount.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@mzteaze
Thank you for your advice on the Hydrafacial

I can save those coins for my next procedure.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I am suppose to purchase the Red Light Therapy Cap from a friend tomorrow

I'm trying to decide if I want to spend those coins on that tho?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Used:
Extra Virgin Olive Oil with fresh Rosemary Sprigs in it (DIY).

It's not worth the funds UNLESS you have the disposable funds to gamble. I like my LLLT cap and it's a tool that's useful to my plan.

As a follow up to my nightly scalp massage, I must say, it's turned out to be a very basic thing to do BUT I've had a noticeable reduction in the amount of hairs I'm seeing on wash day. For all of money spent on potions and stuff, who knew I'd get the most out of simply massaging for 5 minutes with a hand held scalp massager.

What kind of scalp massager do you use? I have a vibrating one, but I don't use it half as often as I should.

 

[snoop]

I need to start following this thread. There's some really great advice and it's reminding me of a lot of things that I've done inconsistently and need to start again.

I've been drinking bamboo leaf tea almost daily again. I'm not sure if it will boost growth, but when I drank it before, it made my strands thicker.

I have a vibrating massager. I like it because it's set for 5 minutes then automatically shuts off.

Me too! I really liked the brand I used to buy as well.

I went on vacation last week so I couldn’t take my vitamins with me.


This morning back at it. Mary Ruth’s Hair Max and Multi Vitamin. Collagen in my coffee , vitamin D and geritol.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Ended up getting the i-Restore from my friend. You have to use it every other day.

I'll be doing it tonight for the 3rd time. You are suppose to use it 16 weeks at the beginning and for maintenance.

I may use it for 16 weeks off 16 and back on 16 to see what it does.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Today:
The Ordinary Peptides
JBCO
(Also used iRestore today)

 

[mzteaze]

Finished February strong with my growth aids. I'm on my last bottle of growth + serum.

 

[SmilingElephant]

Well I've been using Wild Growth Oil. I had used it for a month or so and I think it helped me get to almost MBL but I trimmed an inch off.

Last night I mixed it with JBCO and put the mixture on my scalp. I'm going to use up the bottle before I post any results.

I'm also taking Nature's Bounty gummies with Collagen.

I'm noticing less and less hair shedding.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Used:
Sunny Isle's JBCO w/Lavender and The Ordinary's Peptide Serum

I’m in the CurlyProverbs challenge, so took my MSM.

In addition:
As I Am Rosemary Water (AM). I always do a good scalp massage after spraying this on my scalp.
