Anyone NOT use ANY growth aids?

[bellesocialite]

I don't. I used Surge when I first found the boards. Truthfully, I'm too lazy to be consistent. I figure my hair will grow regardless.

 

[Irresistible]

I'm not and never have

btw I dont think in my humble opinion that vitamins are a growth aide, because the original purpose is to provide nutrition to the whole body-and whan that happens it benefits the hair, but many of us here are taking full vitamin regimens for our health first and foremost

 

[Zawaj]

I don't. I'm too lazy for all that. And I don't like funny smells or lots of hassle. If it were exceptionally easy and stink free, I might do it. But I know consistency would be a problem. Refer to the second sentence in this post. So, um, no.

I do take vitamins though, but that's really for general health.

I agree with all of this. I tried one for about a week or 2 and I was like no thanks. I can barely remember to take my prenatal vitamin so I don't take anything extra for hair.

Honestly, I think MOST members of the board DO NOT use growth aids. No official stats, but it seems to be the case.

I agree. Most of us don't use them. Now there may be many who may have tried one or two at the height of their popularity, but most fall off the bandwagon eventually at some point or another. I don't even pay attention to the growth aide bandwagons any more. Same thing, different aide. Over the years, the evidence has just not been compelling enough for me, and I've never used any. Then, I'm one to credit a hair regimen, or the increased bloodflow to the scalp via massage, before I credit an actual growth aide. The only tested and true growth aide is time and we've all got that.

I'm not...I don't believe in them

Me neither, never have. Never will. But I won't knock another woman's hustle. If you like it, I love it.

I have in the past (MN, BT) and i have notice good growth but I rather focus on the "Health" of my hair rather than the "length".

I definitely agree with your post!!!...My focus is on the Health of my hair...the growth is an added benefit with Ovation

 

[nklogan]

Me!!!I've wasted so much money using growth aids.I don't bother to buy them.Doo gro,Dr. Miracle,Triple Gro,Profectiv,cheap dollar general growth creme,etc. I just ended up with NO RESULTS!.

 

[The Savvy Sistah]

I don't!

I believe if I take care of my body (eat right, exercise, vitamins ) and hair I'll see the growth I'm looking for.

 

[CokoQt]

I have before but not consistent enough to say it helped alot. I decided my problem is not growth but retaining length so I don't bother with growth aids anymore.

 

[Solitude]

I don't. I would like to, but I'm going back to school and I'm on a tight budget. Like some of the ladies said, I don't think I would be consistent, anyway.

 

[Arcadian]

I don't, though I did try MTG once. I think my hair grows fine without them, though for some it can give the extra oomph they're looking for.

For me, being patient and not going too overboard with stuff was the key.

[LunadeMiel]

I don't. I tried MN for two days when i first joined and stopped. I can't be bothered...

 

[Fine 4s]

I agree with most of the above.

Everytime I try to use one I quickly forget. For example, I never finished my first bottle of BT, I only use 1 tube of MN and didn't even finish that. I think I'm pretty satisfied with my hair growth and thus never felt the need to use them. But I'll admit I do want to try some...MTG, MN consistenly and MT I'll give it a good try...

Sista Slick no time no see or no hear!

You were one of the first people that would give me the time of day when I first joined. I was just a newbie...I still feel like one too. You answered my pm's took time to answer my questions and gave me information on product and protein moisture. I also stalked your fotki and wanted to cry when you cut your hair! Give me that hair girl!


I still love your hair after all these years! And love you too!

But I'm still trying the growth aids-I must say I have tried a few and for the most part they aren't that fun. Most smelled bad or oily, or just not pratical.

I find mega tek and ovation to be the best because they dont smell and not oily to use.

I also think that most people on the forum dont use the growh aids...and that is perfectly okay!

It's our hair and we reserve the rights to do whatever we want with it. Nobody should push anyones opinions on others.

 

[FlowerHair]

I never used any growth aids.

 

[gradygirl]

No I don't use growth aides. I bought one a long time ago but never used it. My hair is growing just fine without them so "if it ain't broke".

 

[Energist]

I don't. I'm actually fearful of them.

 

[prospurr4]

No, I don't. When I first joined this board in June 2006, I jumped on the MN bandwagon...rode for about 2 weeks, experienced a headache (which I NEVER get), then jumped off. I have learned that the best growth aids include a healthy diet with lots of water intake and regular exercise...all good with no negative side effects!

 

[dream13]

I don't.

I tried MTG once when I first got here in 06 . I immediately washed it out the next day...and still couldn't shake that smell for a week . Never again.

 

[onejamifan]

Tried MT for like 2-33 weeks but the shedding was too much for me to handle. Decided that I'd rather keep the hair on my head than have it grow faster, so I officially don't use any growth aids.
