Hi! ladies. I will cont. to wash once a week and pre- con every 3 days. I use OCT/MT/MN and seal my ends with shea butter or castor oil. My protective style is two strand twist or bun. I will cont. my vitamins, increase my water and protein intake, scalp massages and exercise.

Oct/09

Dec/31/09

My hair thickened up nicely, know I have to maintain and retain length. Sorry, my pics are so huge. my son is not at home to help me.

Well i posted this in another thread but i wanna post my reggie here:

Ok finally after much turmoil I have finally decided on a reggie for 2010. I know along the way I will probably tweak it depending on season, hair needs, etc., but at least I got the basics down.

Mondays:
Cowash
DC and Light protein treatment with steamer - heavier protein as needed.

Wednesdays and Fridays:
Cowash

-Protective style for the year will be:
*cornrows under a LF (pinned down,no adhesives will be used.)
*BRAIDS - Possibly freestyle braids seeming how i just chopped to 4 inches
-Baggy 5 to 7 days per week
-Take Spirulina, Chlorella, MSM daily
-Growth aid mix of MN, MT, sulphur, JBCO, coconut oil, 10 drops of
peppermint oil applied every other day
-Exercise 5 to 6 days per week and maintain healthy diet
-Daily prayer

MOISTURIZE AND SEAL DAILY!

I am starting off 2010 right! I plan to kick off the year with a master cleanse for 10 days and possibly a colonic, I know my body is a toxic waste dump ... For some reason I can't stay out of the "Drink Your Way to Waistlegnth Hair" thread so I might as well incorporate a morning shake as well.:fat:

Thats it. I just cut it off, i will keep my hands out of my hair , and try to retain all of my legnth. I guess this will be my personal hair/body/faith challenge for this year. I am such a slow grower at 1/4 in per month and hopefully I can get at least 3/4 to an inch a month. Ok ladies tell me what do you guys think?

Too late to join? I've been lurking religiously for a few days and just saw this. Don't have a regime yet, but am taking biotin, msm, vit a,d,e, fish and flax. Due to the hundreds of pages I've read here, I've become an official ingredient and product junkie. I've now added ayurvedic powders and mn to my desired regime in construction.

Thanks ladies. You are are inspirational!

 

[VictoriousBrownFlower]

is it too late to join???

 

[Vintageglam]

This would be the dream situation for me... I mean I would be BSL by Christmas next year if that were the case (esp with protective styles). Ladies is this really possible ? Has anyone ever done it ?

 

[LaidBak]

Prepooing with OCT/Emu oil mixed. Will shampoo then DC with a conditioner/liquid B-Vitamin/ayurvedic growth elixir/JBCO mix. Then going to apply WGO to my scalp. Oh and lets not forget the 2 chlorella, 1 MSM, and 1 Omega 3-6-9 pills I took. If I keep this up and don't get an inch then I t know what to do! LoL!

 

[Firstborn2]

I'm also on a cleanse for 21days, to restart my system. Today I went to WF and bought Jay Robb Egg White Protein powder, it has 24g/serving and the Source Naturals Spirulina 500mg hoping both will help with growth.

 

[SailorWifey]

I'd like to join. So far I'm taking vitamins, drinking more water, and exercising weekly. Right now I'm not doing too much maintenance on my hair b/c it's very short. I'm moisturizing as needed (which is a few times a day right now) and sealing w/ 7 and/or coconut oil. I'm dc'ing once a week. Cowashing daily

 

[pureebony]

Sailor I love your starting pic!!!

 

[pureebony]

hey ladies, im so happy you all wanna join, I have added the extra joiners as its still early, but i do want to keep it at that.

An inch a month is the 'aim' but if we are doing everything we can then we should do it, but the aim is to grow and maintain the absolute MAXIMUM, I would like to think xxx

 

[VictoriousBrownFlower]

Thanks for the add. Heres my reggie

wash hair once a wk
dc and pre poo with every wash
airdry and bun until next wash
henna once a month
protein as needed
only straighten once a month for length check

body/nutrition

one a day energy
exercise 5 days a wk
drink at least 8 cups of water per day
eat high protein diet

 

[LaidBak]

BronxJazzy you've got really pretty hair!

 

[pureebony]

Hey Ladies!!

Ok update of the minor kind!


I have decided to use weaves and wigs this year, that way I can retain my grwoth (influenced by Reniece) Therefore I will not be able to show my month by month progress, but instead every 2/3 months, wich is slightly different to my original criteria but what the heck!!! More growth!!!

Today I have taken, Spirulina x2 and chlorella x2 cod liver oil supp x1

will work out later on today and moisturize my hair and apply growth oil!!

How are the rest of you lovelies doing? xx

 

[pureebony]

Ladies?!?!

 

[CherieMarie]

So far so good! Im still taking my vitamins, MSM, spirulina, chlorella, fish oil, b12, garlic, milk thistle, and biotin. I have my hair cornrow'd under a lacefront for now but to track my growth progress i decided to stay braided up with individual braids for the whole year so hopefully when i stop being lazy ill put them in.

Right now my growth aid is working wonders! Im using a mix of sulphur, MN, coconut oil, JBCO, olive oil, and a dash of suave coconut conditioner. I think right now i have gone from getting 1/4 inch per month to 1/2 since i started the mix in the beginning of december. Hopefully the vitamins and exercise will give me that extra 1/4. I started drinking the waistlength shake as well so hopefully this time next month im hoping for 3/4 inches of growth!

All i need to do now is stop being lazy and start eating better and exercising!

 

[prettyhair73]

Did I join?? I can't remember. If I didn't add me in. I just got my Mega-Tek the other day and mixed it with a little coconut oil and jojoba oil. I swear some hairs sprouted up around my hairline in the last 2 days.

I wash every 2-3 days depending on my schedule.
I haven't co-washed but I pre-pooed before.
O use my apple cider, distilled water and essential oil scalp treatment nightly and then I apply the moisturizing mix of castor oil, jojoba, olive oil, coconut oil and glycerin, braid it and oil then ends.

I sleep with my satin cap on. I haven't worn my hair down since November so I'm sure I've got some length.

Oh yeah I got my Phyto Vitamins, a hair, Skin and Nail Vitamin, a liquid multivitamin and an Omega 3.

 

[pureebony]

Wow gwan there CherieMarie, i feel you on the work out front....

found out some useful info on silica, diatomaceous earth, home made sulphur oil (with emu oil etc), and molasses. This lady on another site went from 1/2 and inch to 1 full inch a month with this!?!!?

So far im taking Chlorella, Spirulina, Omega 3 fish oil, biotin, b complex, msm, hemp seed oil, evening primrose oil and sometimes garlic oil.

I am in a weave so im gonna drink more water, excersise and eat more veggies!!!

 

[pureebony]

Pretty hair you did, good on you ladies keep it up, im discovering more ways of growing hair on the web!?! also maintenance, if Reniece can retain all her growth under a weave in a year I would like us to not only push pur growth from 1/2 inch to 1 inch a month but retain it all in protective styling!!??!!

Right now looking for a good lacefront wig for my rest weeks, anyone know of any good vendors that ship internationally and are a good price?!?! xx

Evening Primose! I knew there was something i kept forgetting! I need to run out and buy some.

Sulphur oil and molasses????? what was her reggie?

 

[prettyhair73]

Yeah it's kinda fun. And I can do it easily in the winter. Summer is usually when I want to wear it down! I would love to get an inch a month. That's why I got the Phyto vitamins and Mega-Tek so I could double up! I'm gonna start experimenting with the buns and moving it around, I don't want to start getting tension headaches.

[CherieMarie]

pureebony how long is your hair? are you NL? I ask because my hair is about just as long as yours and i cant figure out if i should qualify myself as EL or NL lol!

 

[pureebony]

well let me say this i am taking some good stuff, my whole body is changing!!?!

Well she said that she started taking biotin and it helped her hair grow faster, then she started taking diatomaceous earth (a form of silica i think) about 1 tablespoon per day and a spoonful or two of molasses every day and her hair grew 1/2" in a week (Oct 2 to Oct 9).

she also did a scalp treatment with Shapleys MTG.

So far, things are going fine.
I'm only two weeks post, so there's not much growth to report, but I've been keeping up my regimen. I've been DCing, baggying, oiling my scalp with JBCO, and massaging it with my K-Cutter. I've also been moisturizing, sealing, and covering my hair with a silk scarf pretty much any time I'm at home.
I've been taking all my supplements and drinking at least 64 oz a day too, since I've signed up. I do need to improve my vegetable consumption, although I have been good with the fruits.

The only thing that I haven't done is the exercise. I've exercised, but only for half an hour this week. I'll try to make up the difference before the week is out.
I'm way too lazy for life.

 

[pureebony]

That's why I got the Phyto vitamins and Mega-Tek so I could double up! I'm gonna start experimenting with the buns and moving it around, I don't want to start getting tension headaches.

I was doing buns last week but to be honest its extremely cold over here and with my previous heat damage i didn't want to risk more damage so i put in a weave!!

Also reniece's retention amazed me!

i have mega tek too, and MTG, as well as rosemary, peppermint oils, with Be Mine, but i will be making my own mix soon with sulfur powder.

But i have noticed that when I apply these onto my scalp they can be classified a protein treatments so you really need to up the moisture big time, or you get a crispy looking hair.

 

[pureebony]

pureebony how long is your hair? are you NL? I ask because my hair is about just as long as yours and i cant figure out if i should qualify myself as EL or NL lol!

lol same here!! I think i tried to claim shoulder length somewhere lol but i think to be fair i am neck length..... darn heat damage is making me chop more, but ends are more healthy for it! xx
