Personally I think my hair growth has been slow, because of breakage. Which is why I figured I would have more success leaving my hair alone for a month at a time.
Supplements definitely help, and leaving my hair alone.

Re: Close to Bra Strap? Come on let\'s GROW!!!

1.) I am about 4-5 inches away from bra strap length.

2.) I don't know!! In some areas,my hair is curly,wavy,naturally straight, and frizzy.

3.)I am currently transitioning. Last perm was October 26,2002.

4.)My current routine involves mixing teatree oil and olive oil together and evenly distributing it on my scalp.I leave a plastic cap on my head for about 15 minutes,then I massage my scalp. I wash my hair every 3 days with Lisa Akabari's clarifying shampoo and Creme of Nature. I deep condition my hair with Lisa's deep conditioner. My staple products include Carol's Daughter and 911 leave in creme conditioner.

5.)One a day maximum multivitamin

6.)I hope to achieve full bra strap length by April 2004.

7.)I stopped perming.I also stopped using hair holders with metal clasps in the center and even the ouchless bands. I stopped using bobby pins to keep my hair in place. I recently discovered Good Hair Day pins and they are awesome for holding my buns together. I recently clipped my ends myself and I hope that the moisturizing of the ends and protective styles will minimize split ends.

[Chimma]

Re: Close to Bra Strap? Come on let\'s GROW!!!

1. How far are you from bra strap?
1/2 inch in the longest part of my hair, but sides are just a little past shoulder length

2. What is your hair type?
4a/b

3. Are you permed/natural/transitioning?
transitioning for a year

4. What is your current routine?
deep condition once a week, the bun usually (which i believe is why the sides are so short), rare heat (except today when i hot combed all my hair), spritzing with water when it is dry, conditioner wash every three days approximately and creame of nature wash once a week, combing hair when wet gently, probably getting off the relaxer

5. Are you taking supplements or using a particular hair product to promote hair growth?
No

6. When are you striving to reach your goal?
It depends on whether I do a big chop. I think that I will not, and so I hope to have comfortable reached my goal for all of my hair including the sides by this time next year. My real goal though is to have beautiful long natural hair by June of 2006

7. What has been the biggest factor that you think has contributed to your hair growth thus far?
probably the lack of heat on my hair and the fact that i usually wear a bun. i think that after i stopped relaxing this year i got better growth as well.

2. What is your hair type? not to sure but I think 2b/c

3. Are you permed/natural/transitioning? Relaxed

4. What is your current routine? Wash and deep condition twice a week followed by rollerset and wrap. I wear a daily bun (except now b/c i am currently sporting a weave). I use creme of nature shampoo (excellent at detangling) and mostly keracare products (conditioner, leave-in, oils, etc).

5. Are you taking supplements or using a particular hair product to promote hair growth? I take GNC Ultramega Woman sporadically. I tried the ultranourish hair but it broke me out.

All of the ladies that I have come in contact with are so knowledgable about hair health. And wearing protective styles every day has definately helped.

Re: Close to Bra Strap? Come on let\'s GROW!!!

Great thread!!!!!

1. How far are you from bra strap?
One part of my hair is already there, but i won't class this as bra strap yet until the rest catches up where a lot more of it is at that length.

2. What is your hair type?
I have a 4b hair type. I am relaxed. When natural I had a very thick tightly coiled pattern.

3. Are you permed/natural/transitioning?
Permed

4. What is your current routine?
Very simple, yet effective. Wash with a moisturising shampoo. Porosity conditioner for 5 mins, Organics detangling shea butter on damp hair. I put my hair in a wet bun in the shower with 3 satin scrunchie. In the morning the top is dry and the ends are wet. I take it down, moisturise with profectiv products and brush back into a protective bun. Every night I spray scalp, hairline and kitchen area with Surge. At 2.5 weeks post relaxer I have regrowth that I'd normally achieve around week 5-6. I relax approx every 4 weeks now instead of 6.

5. Are you taking supplements or using a particular hair product to promote hair growth?
I take Puritan's Pride Biotin, but I'm not consistent with it to say it's attributed to my hair growth for the past few months.

6. When are you striving to reach your goal?
The bra strap in the next 2 months, if the surge doesn't let me down. Then it's the hard slog to waist length, but I WILL be satisfied with a length between bra and waist.

7. What has been the biggest factor that you think has contributed to your hair growth thus far?
Ooooooh so many
The hair board
Patience
Knowledge
Good hair relaxer practices
Protective styling
Keeping the hair moisturised
Washing more than x1 a week
Determination. Sometimes I think I can never get to my goal due to never seeing anyone in my family with very long hair, but I believe the gene theory aside that it's possbile no matter what our hair types with some TLC and knowledge. The pictures of women like Peachtree, Caramela, Brownrelaxedhair etc reaffirm for me that it's possible.
