With your Old One:) I say this because this is my second BC, with my first BC I had a simple routine with simple quality products and my hair grew so Lovely and nice and Fast. But with my 2nd BC, I wanted to change it, I wanted to try other methods to get my hair to grow faster because everyone else was having success and I wanted to be like that, I wanted to have 1-2 inches per month, I wanted to have that Big Fro ASAP:D I was in a Hurry, but with my first BC I wasn't in A hurry, and I still don't know why I was in a Hurry with my 2nd BC, So I tried the BT Challenge and that didn't work out, it did for the start but after that I fell off and I already knew that I didn't like oil on my scalp, but I wanted faster growth:lol: I mean who don't? Anyway, I would jump off and jump back on, in a Month I saw my sides fill in and that was it, I was happy with that, But I wanted to have an inch all over, So I jumped on the Baggy Method since I saw the Originator had Great Growth and plus it seemed so easy since I already cover my hair at night:) Well I tried that, and I must admit it helped to keep my hair moist throughout the day, But then my scalp started itching really bad and became so sore in certain spots where the itching was, I stopped for a couple of days and it was fine, so I started with the Baggy method again and it started again so I said well I just better stop this one too.

I was Mad:mad: I mean I was so mad:mad: at my hair, I was like why is this Happening, why can't I do things like the other ladies are doing and have success:confused: I Jump off I jump on, One day it's all good and then the next day All Hell Break Loose, Then the other Night I came to my senses, it wasn't about BT or the Baggy Challenge, it was about MY HAIR! My hair was Talking to me and I just ignored it:( I mean my hair was telling me to leave it as is, do what I normally do and don't try nothing different at this time. My hair was Happy with my Simple Routine of CW Daily adding a Moisturizing product and go, and then tie at night, do a deep conditioner every once in awhile and it was on point.

I am so happy for the Other Ladies who are Having Success with everything they do and try, Oh I even tried MTG to had some growth but my hair didn't like that either, I was forcing my hair to do what it didn't, I hope I am making sense to you all. But I mean who don't want to try something:D for faster growth:lachen:

Has Anyone Else Had This Happen To Them?
 
Hey girl, I'm glad you're finally settling into what works for your hair. It's hard not trying other stuff when people are like this is the best _____. You just feel like oooh I gotta try that:lol:. I understand how you feel, really I do:). LOL you are not the only one.
 
Thank You Hopeful!!!! LOL!! I was feeling kinda Lonely LOL!!!!!!! But yes it is Hard, but I guess that is the Live & Learn part.
 
Hey my hair twin :)its not you alone, I used surge and lord! My scalp was on fire I had to wash my hair with cold water and believe it or not it still was itching and crazy and the only thing that helped was my sons baby lotion lol, so with that experience I stayed away from topical growth aids but it does work well for other folks and I'm thrill for them, the co-wash works wonders and I live my the water and more water my hair loves it I know what works for me and I'm not changing but I like trying out new things (like I just ordered ashas products can't waut to try it :) but I always go back to the beginning.
 
I was just slapping myself across the face today because even before my healthy hair journey, my stylist would use design essential products and my hair was okay so say I wasn't taking care of it. I got caught up in pjism and bought all kinds of things. Now I do love keracare humecto but I think Design is the line for me. I don't know why I stopped. I just orded the products I used to use and I am giving everything else away.
 
I hear ya! After all the failed challenges, this what made me come up with the Consistency Challenge for support of sticking with what works for you and not jumping on every bandwagon or challenges that put a dent in the regimen you already have in place because trial and error sucks! Well at least now you know what works and what doesn't work for your hair.

Has Anyone Else Had This Happen To Them?

No you aren't alone. I have found that I have had to go back to the basics. there are some things that this board has taught me and my hair loves, like the more frequent then once a week washes, the BT, moisturizing my ends. My hair is healthier and fuller, however I have way too many products under my sink. So I stopped doing the baggy challenge, went back to my rollersets and today I love the way my hair is responding. I greased my scalp today with Optimum Oil Therapy and BT, put some Olive Oil Moisturizer on my ends and rolled. I never "sealed" my ends before and I didn't like all the oil on my hair anyway, although I am still going to get coconut oil cream for the shine value. But I am going back to what worked for my hair and had it growing, but not forgetting what I have learned from this board...which screams to me simplicity is the best key!

Love your wash n go:D:D:D
 
I'm really glad I read all of the posts in here. I think I was beginning to go on a PJ binge! Reading so much in the forum, there is such temptation to change to new stuff.

I'm going to avoid new products and just try to vary some routines. Right now I'm doing NO Direct Heat until July. My Hair is cornrowed now. I'm also going to start doing rollersets.

I'm very tempted by Henna WGO and JBCO but I think I'll wait a few more months before I take that leap.

Sometimes, especially when I'm stretching my hair looks and feels all dry and crappy and I feel like it's beyond repair. Then some good ol' TLC brings it back to life.
Hair just never ceases to amaze me.
 
I am so happy that you started this post cause I really like my soft and beautiful relaxer and I had great success from that and my dominican products and Aubeys Naturals....YET I gotta try the next best thing instead of sticking to what my hair likes. We are all so unique and so is the hair on each of our heads, so we need to keep up with the products and routines that work for us specifically. So thanks a bunch! I needed this.;)

Thanks Ladies! We all know we learn nothing but the Best on this Board and I am so Thankful for it!
