2024 2025 Growth Aids Challenge

[25InchesStarting'25]

Homemade growth pomade. I was taking this for health reasons but can add it here since I see others listing it as a growth aid - Vit D3, MSM

My derm just prescribed a compounded cream of minoxidil and metformin to apply topically to increase / improve overall hair growth.

Still using my hair tonic + sulfur oil 3 or more times a week. Ayurvedic tea spray daily.
I've been slacking on my baggying so I'm gonna do it overnight tonight.

I know you posted this somewhere...maybe in the ayurveda thread? But can you tell me what's in your ayurvedic tea again? The last time I made one over a year ago it was way too strengthening.

Absolutely! No problem at all - I had to look back through my notes though to be sure. lol

Hibiscus Bhringraj and Brahmi. I brew it in a mason jar. I strain some into my spray bottle about 1/2 full and then fill the rest with water.

A combo that I find moisturizing, though, is Hibiscus and Amla. Maybe that one will work better for you since Brahmi can be a strengthener.

Thank you! I definitely used brahmi in the last ayurvedic tea I made so that explains why it might have been too strengthening. I have bhringraj powder now as well the Goddess Hair Mask powder from Henna Sooq which has hibiscus in it but I've not bought/used hibiscus powder on its own. I do need to get more amla powder so I will bookmark your post for future reference.

Took Vit D3 + MSM (OptiPure). Since I'm doing a lot right now, I'm just posting when I take vitamin supplements for growth aids here. I'm part of the Ayurvedic Challenge and Grow It Long 2025 Challenge and post what I used topically for growth aids there

Still narrowing down a replacement growth serum to use as I reach the end of my supply.

I'm looking at DermaStim Advance Growth + and the Kreyol Essence Save Our Serum.

 

[MzSwift]

Fenugreek rinse this morning followed by a little intentional scalp scratching.

 

[mzteaze]

For transparency, I will be adding a topical compounded minoxidil and metformin at the suggestion of my dermatologist. I will continue with my overall plan but this will be added at night as a growth aid.

Have you thought of making your own growth oils?

I'm making my first growth oil. Most women I've seen with thick natural WL or longer make their own growth oils. Thats the only way you know the herbs are properly infused and using the best oils

Organic jojoba and argan are the best oils for not clogging the scalp. Castor oil is another good one to promote more density. Most growth oils on the market use cheap oils

I'm making my first batch that I started infusing in a mason jar. I will start using it probably when I have knotless braids. I like using pomades when hair is wet

Great herbs/seeds to add are amla, fenugreek, rose mary, moringa, green tea, and clove. There are so many, but these are some. The longer it's sits, the more potent it is. You want it to infuse for at least 5 weeks for it to be potent. Let me know if you ever decide to make you own

In the past I've made my growth oils, but now I have to be careful about applying oils directly to my scalp. That's why I use water based serums with my scalp massage.

Many of the helpful herbs (fenugreek, Moringa, amla, bhringraj) I apply to my scalp in a hair mask though.
