I started a new bottle of Mary Ruth Growth Max yesterday 1/26/26.

I won't see my progress until around March 11th, when I take down my current set of cornrows.

New growth is definitely there & edges look great.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Took my vitamins today.

I didn’t use a growth spray but I used my Taliah Waajid Bodifier to moisturize my perimeter.

 

[yaya24]

I'm still taking my Mary Ruth Hair Max - its like a daily treat. I don't think I've missed a day since I started taking it.

I started a new batch of my DIY hair oil on Jan 8th.
It's infusing by my window & I'm letting it sit for a while before using. My last batch yielded 6oz.

RANDOM:
February 2026 is so pretty on the calendar

@yaya24
I'm glad you're here. You remind me to take mine.

I'm not consistent although I'm in and out of the Fridge, somehow I always seem to overlook that...

Been contemplating whether I want to try Nutra-fol or something else for 2026

I looked a Lumin (because of TikTok - and they said it's for black girls, but when I went on the Website it was all white so..... (I don't understand)

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

I never heard of Lumin. Let me go take a look @IDareT'sHair

Lemme know what your "investigation" finds....

Uncover the truth Sis

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

I can’t find any non sponsored videos on TikTok @IDareT'sHair

I started MSM crystals today (digesting).

Lets see how this goes.

 

[yaya24]

Is this the Lumin product?

If so, the website is using Ai photos of Black people. Ai is going to be a problem with truth in marketing products.

For now my eyes can instantly tell.

LUMIN - RRB Hair Growth Gummies

that’s what I found @yaya24 but none of the reviews looked real or non sponsored.

Curly proverbz has some great msm but I liked doctors best as well. I get more with doctor best though.

I take my msm with collagen in my coffee. @yaya24

 

[yaya24]

I'm taking this brand from Amazon: Gold Standard MSM crystals.

I started with 1/2 a teaspoon in 8oz water in the morning.

Pairing it with vitamin c + rosehips supplement (Natures Way)

I'll work my way to a full teaspoon of MSM.

 

[yaya24]

Ok so random update.. my cycle was supposed to start yesterday and still today - nothing.

I have extremely regular cycles, so the only thing I suspect is the addition of MSM.

I need to do my research on if this is truly the culprit. I feel like I may have read something on this years ago.

If it is MSM, I will dial back on my usage to maybe 3xs per week vs daily.

 

[yaya24]

My cycle came on Friday.. it ended on Sunday (very odd).. but I'll take it.

I'm going to continue my break from ingesting MSM daily. I'll resume on Wednesday. Then going forward - I'll only take MSM on M/W/F.

I just realized I hadn't listed out my HSN related vitamins or topical growth aides.

Internal:
Mary Ruth Growth Max (daily)
Pumpkin seed oil (M/W/F)
MSM (M/W/F)
Collagen Peptides (daily)

I also take other vitamins, but they aren't HSN specific.

Topical:
I make a DIY oil that keeps my scalp in great shape. I let it sit to infuse for a while before using it as is, or mixing with other EOs.

● 1/4 cup fenugreek seeds
● 1/4 cup Burdock root
● 3 spoons dried rosemary
● 30 CLOVES
● 6 oz mct oil
● Tablespoon pure vitamin e oil
● Lavender oil
