Wow! Your hair grows fast. What is your reggie? Do you take vitamins?

You think so?? I think it's taking forever.
Vitamins.....not really. I tried Hairfinity but i was never consistent and I still have half of the bottle. I found that I got the most growth when I used Rosemary oil . I mixed Rosemary herbs in Olive oil and let it sit for a few days. Then I started oiling my scalp every other day. My hair was always in braids either under a wig or in box braids.
 
Stunning! Regimen please? @Joigirl

I'm sorry I missed this! My regi is really simple. I follow the Curly Girl Method. I primarily cowash weekly (and DC), but I like to shampoo monthly. I also follow the LOC method but use butters as my oil. I have only straightened my hair once since going natural almost three years ago.

My go to styles are WNGs and Twist outs. I also henna and indigo my roots quarterly to cover my graying hair.
 
I recieved some tips from some lovely ladies here and took some more inspiration from Naptural85's flat twisting method.

Hair today after taking out scarf braids and flat twists I installed yesterday. I got the least scalpy (low density problems) look thanks to these tips. I love this place. It makes the trial and error process fun, instead of just trying my patience.

Nothing. I deep condition weekly for at least an hour, eat primarily fruits and vegetables as my diet. My hair's shine can solely be attributed to overall health. Health of my hair itself and health of my body. Even my mother has commented on how shiny my hair is now as compared years prior.
What deep conditioner are you using?
 
What deep conditioner are you using?
I alternate between Hairveda Strinillah, Hairveda Methi Sativa two step protein treatment, or hot oil treatment. I add peppermint and silk aminos to my conditioners. I have used these for years ...relaxed and natural. The best results came after I changed my diet and went natural. But I had "good" results when I was relaxed (texlaxed)


Another time in my life when I had super shiny hair was when I exclusively roller set my hair and was a vegetarian. My hair was blinging then too,....it just wasn't as long. I didn't retain past apl.
