5 month growth update...were jussst about there - inch by inch

[PuffyBrown]

I have managed to get growth!
I am truly satisfied with my progress.
I have had 2 trims since January. My ends were splitting up the shaft. I have only lost close to 3 inches of hair and I am still right at APL. I think that by July I will be full APL.

LCHF is the BOM!
I really love this cite and all of the members on the forum.

Overall, I am just really gentle with my hair.
The only time I use a brush is when I wrap it at night and then I just smooth it down. I think for me that has been the secret.

I wash weekly and co-wash once time per week. I use a protein treatment every week. I know for some peoples hair that is too much but for some reason if I don't do a light protein treatment that my hair falls limp, then if I go another week it starts to shed.

Relaxers are 10 weeks. This last time I did one at 6 weeks. Not sure how I feel about that, but my hair has not been affected.

I wanted to use some topical growth treatments and I have MN, and BT. I used the MN for about 2 weeks then forgot I had it. The boundless tresses leaves my hair very soft, but I forget to do that too. erplexed I really want a follicle treatment. I tried the nequal by Alter Ego and liked it. I only bought one so I didnt get any significant growth. Sickbay.biz never has it is stock. I looked at some other places and then confused myself because Salerm has a follicle treatment too, as does Fekkai, Nioxin, and a couple of other brands. I just really dont know what to use and have learned my lessons from buying too much product. I really want to try the Fekkai nightime follicle treatment.

Have you or know of anyone who has used a follicle treatment. Did it really make a difference? That would be a good question. I will post that and find out. Stay tuned...

I just try to be very consistent with my treatments.

Protein and supplements
ayurveda powders mixed with oils 1xper month.
I am flat ironing and have not had any adverse affects.
I use Chi Silk Infusion and Chi 44 flat iron.

I am working to get my 3 inches back and this time they will be good 3 inches with no spit ends!

I wish that I could co-wash more but I cant right now.
Working on my masters, trying to run a business, and working full time does not leave that much time and I think I may accidentally damage my hair becuase I am in such a hurry.

It seems to be working for me for right now. I think some people have only washed 1x per week and are okay. My hair is growing though.
I acutally am 1 week post and I can already feel the new growth coming in.
