Hey ladies, first and foremost im glad im not alone!!
Its good to know that there are other out there going through the same situation (im refusing to call it a problem lol).
Ever since joining the boards Ive been retaining my length really well, little breakage jus shedding so retention is something im mastering which is good.
The time my hais grows faster, was when i started having a high protein diet, as thehair is also a protein, when you level up your proteins intake, your hair can grow faster than normal.
I started with Spirulina today as a great source of protein, and you can eat eggs, milk, protein shakes and meat and fish.
I think this may be crucial in helping my hair grow, because i eat fairly healthy and work out frequently but protein may be the answer. I have never heard of Spirulina until now so I will definatly research some more.
Thank You!
Try spirulina and chlorella if you haven't already - they're great for so many other things as well. I DC with oils - sage and peppermint eo, castor oil, olive oil, grapeseed oil - this plus steam (for absorption on the scalp - where they hair sits for weeks until it comes out) really helps growth I think. My hair grows about 6 inches/year anyway, I'm just trying to up my rate ... hoping to go from scratch to BSL straightened in 2 years, lol.
HTH.
Hey!
Thanks for your reply, besides the Spirunila I will be trying the oils as well. Matter of fact two days ago i orderd JBCO from sams. So I will be using that regularly. But the only thing is i dont have a steamer which is a real bummer, but i noe the towel trick is an alternative i will look into that more, and i hope u make ur goal in two years!! Good luck. thanks again
I'm not sure y'all will feel about this about imma put it out there anyway. *clears throat* Have you ever considered colon cleansing? If you have a problem with constipation, your bowels are just holding on to the feces causing your body to become toxic. Your hair is in turn affected because it holds a great deal of those toxics without you having no idea. An extensive colon cleansing will eliminate such toxins and your body can perform better, hence having better hair growth. You will also be able to absorb vits better. I did this in Nov of 2008; although I didn't see a GREAT improvement in my hair (I didn't know about LHCF and was not being good to my hair) my body felt better and I saw good results from the Fast Grow vits earlier this year. I am a sloooww grower as well. In Jan. 2009 I cut my hair to about 1/2 an inch and in Aug. 2009 i reach 4 in. Sorry for the long post. HTH
I never thought about this but it makes sense..
Can a person be too young for this or can anyone do it?
As MJ put it "You are not alone...."
I'm about to braid my hair up tomorrow so I don't have to look at how slow it's growing anymore.....and hopefully i'll have a nice length surprise when i take them out.
I feel you girl, funny thing is when i was little when i would braid my hair my new growth was always out of hand after like 2 months, im talking mybe and inch plus..
lol i would do braids but im always in my hair so i cant do it without itching to take em out after 2 weeks,
thanks everyone for your responses
