Amount growth achieved Cathy Howse method?

[Mahalialee4]

How much is your hair growing with this method? Do you always shampoo every 3 days or do you sometimes replace a shampoo with a conditioner rinse? Bonjour.

Hi Mahalialee4,

I don't know how much growth I've gotten exactly because I didn't measure when I was starting, but I have gotten a lot of growth. Best of all, my hair looks healthy. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif I always shampoo every 3 days, just as she recommends and it works great for me. I haven't tried the conditioner washes yet. For now I use shampoo every 3 days. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Now Pebbles, my problem would be that I try to run on the track about four days per week and if I only washed every three days there would be a slew of salt in my hair. Didn't you say that you worked out too? Do you still only wash every three days when you work out?

Hi Leshia,
I don't work out every day. /images/graemlins/blush.gif (gotta change that)
But on the days that I do work out I always wash my hair, no matter what day it falls on. A lot of the other ladies that work out daily wash their hair daily. Some of them do conditioner only washes. I haven't done conditioner washes. I always use shampoo. I find thatI can use either Cream of Nature for dry/damaged hair or Nexxus Botanoil shampoo frequently without it damaging my hair. I have no worries with these two shampoos at all. /images/graemlins/smile.gif HTH

Would love to hear more growth results. Some ladies were doing this for a long time. What can you tell me about your satisfaction or disappointments if you were committed to this method? Thank you bonjour

I achieve 6ins a yr but due to my bad upkeeping back in Sept - Dec (bad hair dyes) my hair started breaking but I have achieved 6 inches in a yr and currently in 6 months: i've achieved and kept 3 inches. I do wash every 3 days and dc once a week


ETA: I never do co-washes: i do just the opposite: i'll shampoo but i'll use a leave-in conditioner instead: i love shampooing: its like a nerve 2 me: if i'm washing my hair: i'm using shampoo regardless

Cathy knows what she's talking about. I achieved growth with CW. From March to August of 2008, when I flat ironed my ends I noticed that I grew an 1 inch. I thought it would be longer. My strands were stronger and I was moisturizing everyday and sleeping in a silk scarf. I was not as happy with my hair as I would have liked. But I noticed a thread on Mega-Tek and I started using it. And I grew over an inch in 2 weeks. I was harrassed by my friends to trim my ends and I thought my hair was not retaining the growth due to split ends and remaining relaxed ends from transitioning. So in October or November I curling ironed my hair straight and WOW. My hair amazingly surpassed the growth I had with CW in only a few months and it was STRONGER and HEALTHIER. So even with split thin ends my hair was retaining length and there was less breakage. But I still trimmed. Just to give my scalp an extra stimulation I sometimes mix the CW conditioner with my MT or just put CW conditioner on my scalp and MT the length of my hair. I still apply the CW method but with different products now. I wash 2x a week, it was 3x a week in the summer. I no longer trim but I do dust my ends for splits. I find that Mega-tek is a far superior protien conditioner than Cathy's. But hers is a good one because it is also a moisturizing deep con.

When I first started my journey 2 years ago, I was using the Cathy Howse method and I did the 365 day challenge and retained 6 ". I know because I was measuring my hair at the time. I shampooed or CWed every 3 days. It is a good challenge to start out with to prove that hair does grow and that the only real issue is length retention!

Perhaps Megatek would make an excellent reconstructor to replace the Mane and Tail Conditioner for the "knockoff" CH Conditioner. what do you think?
