It iiittccccchesssss!!! when I don't mix the spray with other product my scalp feels soothed so idk! but it looks so good with qb aohc!
I think I'll use the spray and just stick to straight oils and non-mixed butters for styling and wear it up in a tuck and roll til it gets me to APL which is my goal. Maybe that will happen by late spring or early summer (i hope).
it will keep my PJ tendencies low I guess...

I have been really inconsistent this week, but I plan to keep spraying. My new length check tee should be here any day now. As soon as I receive it I will post a new start pic (from the back).

So I think I def got between half an inch and an inch all over in about a mont, but I didn't take pics (just measured the growth from my braids).
But more importantly my hair is soooo soft and not shedding like crazy like it did with MTG
Going to wash and take a starting pic tomorrow to measure properly.

@DarkJoy - I'd say a good three to four inches. I've been using it for the past 4 months. I've been consistent with using the spray, spritzing and massaging my scalp every morning and every night. Faithfully. Even when I travel out of town, the bottle goes with me. I never miss a beat. The thickness is out of control. I also deep condition my hair every two weeks. I was thinking of DC'ing my hair weekly, but that is too much for me. My hair is too thick.

@SweetestChick - I have been ordering my bottles from Loco beauty. I like that site because I can pay through Amazon since I have Amazon prime.
Now, I must tell you about the cream. I did not particularly care for the cream. I kept using it as part of my deep conditioning process and I just didn't care for it too much. I have some left and thank goodness I only ordered one jar. Maybe I'll try to use it as a grease. Maybe.

I forgot to mention the only "CON" is that by the end of week two, I notice a buildup on my hair -- a coating if you will. It's all good to me because I virtually have less shedding so I'd like to think of this as a protective coating

@ThatJerseyGirl,
This is so wonderful to read! I have been back to using the spray for a month, since December. I had the nerve to be a little bit disappointed because I don't see any length difference, yet!
Patience is important. I think a good "check" to see if the spray is working is 3 to 4 months. I am going to do a real check in April.

@SweetestChick,
I ordered from the House of Beauty and got my stuff with no problem way over here in France. Customs like to mess with my packages but I didn't seem to have an issue. Also, no leaking bottles as everything was beautifully packaged with tape on the tops and packing peanuts in the box to immobilize the bottles.

Yesterday, I baggied with Xcel. This morning, only sprayed on hairline. The difference is remarkable. So glad there's no buildup even when I use gel.
@PureSilver I vote for the LCL dryers! There should be a code floating around for LHCF.

I saw this discussion months ago but never read through the posts.
I live in Nigeria and getting products is too much of a hassle so I can't afford to be a product junkie
I finally read through and saw the pictures posted at the end of last year. I ordered two bottles through my mail forwarding company. It will take about a month -hopefully not longer to get to me. I am eagerly looking forward to using it. I am not sure I will be able to procure more after this round but if I have results like this, I will find a way to buy some.
My normal growth rate is 0.3inch per month! an inch/month is a huge deal to me.
I am presently using njoy oil while waiting.

@tolly,
Good luck! If you have any family that travels back and forth to London, they may be able to get some for you, too. I have seen this product listed at about 6.5 Euros on Amazon.UK at limited quantities. BUT, that means it probably exists on the ground in London for someone to pick up some for you. It is better to be able to get a product for yourself, though. I know the feeling. I can't find the product in France and it is still not listed on Amazon.FR so that tells me it is not very likely available in any stores here. Good luck in getting your supply and happy hair growing to you!

Ok washed, dc'd, clay mask etc and I've finally taken my starting pics.
It's def grown, even though I'm back to where I was in my avi (set backs and scissor happy hairdressers
).
And yes there's about an inch difference between both sides but I've spent most of this year with hairdressers trying to "even it out"...apparently my hair doesn't wanna be even
I'm going to go back into braids under a wig so I prob won't update with a full length check again for another 3 months but I might take a pic of my braids each month.

before somebody thinks I'm serious. Off topic, but did you know that if you go to your block list on Facebook and type in Facebook Security in the search box that a list of people are gonna pop up? Supposedly they're paid by Facebook to watch you
Anywayzzz, back on topic. Why does spray smell better than the cream? And I definitely felt a little tingle on my hand when I sprayed a tiny bit on it. I hope I don't grow hair right thereAll I know is that I'm ready to have my hair on va-va voom
I have some questions, but let me go through the thread to see if any of them have been answered.

Still going strong with spritzing my scalp twice a day. I think I started using this back in September/October. I haven’t missed a day, other than that week off I took a while back. I only use the spray unless my hair is in a twist out, and then I use the cream.
I didn’t notice any extra growth until about two weeks ago when I measured my hair and it was about an inch longer than it was the month before.
I’m not sure if it’s from Xcel 21 because once again (even though I keep telling myself not to) I’m doing the most with my hair when it comes to growth aids.
So other than the Xcel 21, I’m using about 2-3 other growth products that I started to use around the same time as Xcel 21.
I’m a slow grower…so I don’t really think anything is going to make my hair grow at the speed of light, but if I can get 6 inches a year, I will be on cloud 9!
I have been taking some pictures however, nothing yet to really show growth comparison since my hair is always in twist and twist – outs. Last month I did take some pics of my “pull and see” length check, hopefully I can use those to compare with later.

@charmtreese Cmon girl, you can probably slay 6 inches easy! You're getting an inch per month, so i would be a bit more optimistic. Let's shoot for 10 lol. You got this!

Okay, based upon my research of this thread, (yes I read..ok more like skimmed all 40 pages of this thread), I can/cannot :
- mix with other oils,
- use the cream if I'm rocking straight hair,
- take one week off then start again to keep the growth process going (think this will be the week I straighten)
- Use with other products (depending on what they are) if my hair is feeling hard from the protein and needing some moisture.
- It's probably not a good idea to use it after a work out
- It's probably not a good idea to use it after exfoliating
- Y'all some product pushas
- Y'all be trying to clean stores out, so buy, buy, buy!

Putting the cream next to my bed has helped immensely with making sure it gets on my scalp. Only problem is it makes my scalp itch like the dickens. I'm alternating spray and cream. Tomorrow is wash day and I CAN'T WAIT.

Girl, I wish my hair grew an inch EVERY month...that was 1 inch for 1 four week span...if I get another inch when I measure next week, then I'm going to buy up the entire stock of Xcel...lol! Plus my growth is sometimey, it'll have me thinking I'm on the grow and then I'll do a length check and I'm sitting there at the same length as before! Hence the reason I'm OD'ing on growth aids. Such a vicious cycle!

Ah I see.
I, myself am doing everything within reason to grow and retain as much hair as possible this year, including cutting out salon trims and buying a split ender. Well ya never know, there could be several of us that Update at the end of the year and have hair that's 7-10" longer!
