***Get an inch every month 2010 challenge anyone?***

would it be bad to add monistat to my hair oil.... if its in powder form? there have been great reviews about it being good for growth, but would thins and sulphur powder be ok?

you should be fine.....

I use monistat, sulphur powder, coconut oil, JBCO,and Olive oil mix and im getting good results.
 
ooh thanks hon!! that means i can put it on my scalp right? I thought it was a sealant that's why i didn't put it in my concoction. xx
 
Yup, you can put it on your scalp.
I use it that way, and I think most people use it that way too. I don't use it all over my length because I hate the smell, but I wonder what happens if you do use it all over.
I use regular castor oil all over, and so far, I don't notice anything.
 
well i use the refined one and to be honest when your hair is either wet from water or moisturiser and you use that on top oh my goodnes it's great! it sort of locks in the moisture and curls up my hair!?! but the only thing is i get a bit too heavy handed and use a but too much but its great for my ends.

my hair is like a sponge loves moisure more than protien at the mo xx
 
I'm so annoyed! I ordered 4% MN and they sent me suppositories! Dang it! WTH am I supposed to do with those? LoL!! :lachen: Now I gotta go back and specifically look for the cream.

ETA: I decided to melt the suppository into some oil.

I think this hair thing is turning me into a hair obsessed woman!?!!

all i think about is that length, Thak Jesus its in a weave cuz i would be measuring it everyday!!

this is not a game i need to chill BIGTIME!! lol
 
I'm in and I'm slowing gathering my regimen for the whole year.

Right now I am taking chlorella and maca.
I plan on picking up some biotin and maybe some omega3s... will that help with hair growth. I'm seriously sick of this 5-6inch rut I'm in.

I'm going to also check out this baggy thing. I'm trying to do all this under wigs, is this possible? See ladies, I know myself! Given the opportunity I will wear my hair out every chance I get because I like seeing my growth but always complain because my growth's not growing.

This weekend and maybe adding some sulfur to my spray mix. Am I reading this right that Castor oil and JBCO is not the same?

I already work out on the pole, I need to drink more water.
 
Checking in: It's been exactly one week since my BC. I did not drink nearly as much water as I should have this week...thats a toughie for me. I've been using homemade cayenne oil nightly. I dc'ed tonight with silk elements mixed with my cayenne oil and my homemade steam cap. My hubby massaged my scalp for 20 min yesterday also :). I can see growth b/c I went from seriously like no hair to being able to run a rat tail comb through my hair. Does anyone have any moisturizer suggestions for type 4a/b hair? I think my hair prefers creams over water based products, but I'm waiting on my mango butter to arrive in the mail. For now I've been using proclaim tea tree oil leave in, then shea butter and coconut oil and/or 7 oil. I bought some kemi oyl today too.

Ok I just did some catching up (skimming)...why exactly is monistat going in the hair?????

The active ingredient, miconozole nitrate, is supposed to be a very efffective growth aid. According to the threads I've seen some people use the ointment version, the 2% and 4% cream version, or the powder version.

Don't worry, you're not the only one's that obsessed. I had a hair dream last night. I dreamed that my hair went from the length it is now to WL with a few strands touching HL in just a few months. In my dream, I had left it braided up & when I took it down I magically had all of this length. Of course I woke up disappointed. LOL

I've been keeping up with the thread. I got 1 inch from November to December but from December to January I only got 3/4 inch. I think the problem was I wasn't consistent with the WL shake like I had been before.

Right now I think I'm going to add Biotin back to my routine as well as JBCO & maybe MN. Tomorrow I will be on the treadmill for an hour.

I, too, have been inspired by Reneice. I've had my hair cornrowed under a wig since the beginning of November. I'm still about 2 months away from BSL. I have a h.s. class reunion in October & I'm trying hard for MBL by then.

I call myself unofficially transitioning but I think I'm going to touch my curl up by the end of September at about 16 months post. I'm not going to trim until then & really I only plan to dust.

After the month of October, I'll be back in cornrows until the summer of 2011. I'll retouch my curl again that summer & the hope is that I'll be WL by then. After that I plan to bun my way to HL.

If this challenge goes well for me, I'm hoping to go from BSB to HL by the end of 2011. :yep:
 
Okay so far I have been cowashing, applying MT, taking my vitamins and of course exercising. I am trying to dress warmer than usual because I am always cold. That point does make sense since a lot of us get a growth spurt during the warmer months. It is really hard not to stretch a piece of your hair to see if it is growing but I don't want to become obsessive about it.

Oh ok....that kinda weirds me out tho...lol. I can just see my hubby going wth are you doing...lol
 
Still going strong with my reggie. I had my hair braided on 12/31/09 and already I can see the new growth when I take my wigs off. I can't wait to see how much I have at the end of the month.
 
I've been using jbco on the length of my hair and I can really feel a difference. My hair feels really thick and soft. Once I get my stuff from KBB I'm going to do a henna treatment. I've been following my reggie religiously. I'm on a mission for my inch.

I think you should be able to, it all depends on how secure you make the wig on top assuming your using a plactic cap?... if you do do it, send pics!!?

no apparently JBCO is the pure unrefined castor oil and has a different color, the white normal Castor oil is refined.

Quick question, pole dancing.... how good is it as a work out?!

I highly recomend Hawaiin Silky 14 in 1 moisturiser it has a thick consitency but in a spray bottle, amazing for keeping hair moisturised! I see it as the concentrated version of the s curl spray!! but better! HTH
