What is your current hair length?
I am SL about six inches from APL

What is your regimen?
I wash my hair once a week (usually Thursday nights) I am going to start washing with conditioner only unless I think my hair is really dirty.

Do you use growth aides?(if so what and how?)
I take vitamins but not for growth necessarily but for health.

WELCOME!!!TY FOR JOINING!
 
Just UPDATING: I got my hair braided AND my hairfinity vitamins finally came today! Time to grow this hair!:superbanana:

Gurl I'm so excited too!!! my vitamins came today from hairfinity, and I keep my hair braided under my half wigs and braided it on wednesday! I already exercise and use megatek, so I'm ready for more growth!!!

you grow gurl!
 
I am new to the forums, but please count me in. I am excited to take on this challenge and think I might be able to make it by April. I am about 3 inches short of APL in the back and hope to grow my bangs from just grazing my eyebrows to the tip of my nose by then.
What is your current hair length?SL
What is your regimen?Currently I am wet bunning, moisturizing with Wave Nouveau and sealing with castor oil. I just switched from flaxseed oil to castor oil, but my fine hair doesn't seem to like it as much, so I will probably switch back to flaxseed oil.
Do you use growth aides?(if so what and how?)Not yet, searching for some inexpensive ones, so if any of you have some recommendations, would love to
hear from you.

well hopefully you do hit ApL in April, but you have enough time because the challenge is until dec 2011!!! and there are some inexpensive growth aides!!! I'm using Megatek, and if you don't know what that is do a quick search in the forums!! u will be amazed and I have came from no hair to shoulder length since april 2010 and I am relaxed , I also just started taking hairfinity vitamins so we will see how that goes!!!but ppl like fatima have had amazing results with them she is from the boards and also posted on the vitamin website!
 
hey there!
i'd love to join.
my regimen is wash and DC every week or maybe every two weeks, then style. i'm currently in weaves, but i do wear my hair out more often than not.
i don't use growth aids, just good old exercise and a decent diet. i do take a women's daily multi.
here's a starting pic:

thanks for joining!!!!
 
Count me in ladies. I just had several inches cut off due to heat damage, so here we grow again.

I wear protective styles (puffs, twist outs, buns). I wash with shampoo bi-weekly, co-wash 3 times weekly, deep condition bi-weekly. I use a leave in daily. I will try to get better about using MT a few times a week.

My starting pic:

Thanks Diva. I think I'll give it a shot. Maybe I'll retain more and actually come closer than I did in my journey the first time. I'm in!

snapshot20101015s.jpg


What is your regimen?
I wash 2x week. I deep condition weekly. I use ayurvedic products since I am in the ayurvedic challenge as well (Amla, Bhrami oil, and Henna). I henna my hair once monthly. I alternate my deep conditions every week with either protein or moisture. I moisturize my hair everyday, nightly either with my PH balanced spritz or Kimmaytubes PH balanced leave in. I seal nightly with my ayurvedic herbs. I protect my hair with hats lined with silk or satin daily since I cannot protective style yet.
Do you use growth aides?(if so what and how?)

I use a regular multivitamin, it's a gummy one and chewable, I don't use hair vitamins.
 
I'M SO IN!!! Even though I plan on BC sometime next year so I may not make it to APL for 2011

What is your current hair length?
SL? Won't know for sure until I do a length check in December

What is your regimen?
I DC at least once a week. About once a month. I either co-wash, moisturize and seal or spritz my hair with a water, leave-in, coconut oil mix every other day depending on how my hair is styled.

Do you use growth aides?(if so what and how?)

Just taking a multi-vitamin which i do very infrequently.

I will post my starting pic once I flat iron in december

Please add me! I am desperately trying to at least graze APL by April and be full APL or beyond by December of '11.

What is your current hair length?
Shoulder Length

What is your regimen?
Co-Wash with various conditioners 2-4x per week, Shampoo/deep condish 1x per week, and spritz daily with S-Curl

Do you use growth aides?(if so what and how?)

Yes, a mega-tek & JBCO mixture, I grease my scalp around 3x per wk, I also will be adding MT to my hair for 15 minutes then rinsing about once a month.

My starting pic is my siggy!
 
Trying to reduce my product rotation.. kicked a few products to the curve ... I'm excited that I'm no longer lurking the dark with what I should use on my hair
I can just taste APL now :)

I just need to learn to put the scissors down, I probably cut a good 3-4 inches since April :perplexed
