I started counting 64 days ago when I got my hair cornrowed; I am at 1.5 inches. It looks like I'm getting 3/4 inches per month. I definitely need to get back to exercising and drinking more water. Then I'm sure I will get that extra boost to make 1 inch a month

super low manipulation with lots of baggying seems to be helping retention

I need to put my measuring shirt on to check, but I can tell my hair is getting longer.
I need to go back to my vitamins, but I'm a little scared. Last time something made my face break out but I'm not sure what it was. Maybe I'll start adding them back one at a time

I think it was the Nourishair b/c when I was originally taking supps I had MSM w/ no problems, the Nourishair was the only difference and i read a thread where other people stated it broke them out.
I'm going to re-introduce things slowly to see if I'm right

Omg, I forgot about this, but I'm checking in!
My hair did fine in March. I've been sticking to my regimen of shampooing and DCing nightly, and bunning daily. I fell of the baggying, but I'm determined to get back on that in April. I've been staying on my vitamins too, except for a week that I skipped, because I was at home and left the vits at school. Let's see...I've been drinking mostly water and green tea and I've been eating plenty of vegetables and chicken. I ate beef twice in March, but I honestly don't think I can ever really cut it out from my diet. I just like it too much. I exercised more in March than I did in February, but I'm still not being consistent with it. Boo.
And I relaxed on the 18th, at 12 weeks post. I'm planning my next relaxer for July 8, 2010. That's 16 weeks, but it will be in the summertime, so I may not be able to go that long. I don't have my comparison pictures ready, but I did not get my inch. The End!

Ladies!!!!
so sorry, i have been in a weave since feb and it looks super hott!!! i had gotten sick due to the vits i ws taking i began to vomit violently, it was no joke so now im on and a-z multi vit, and keeping my hair in a weave, i am planning to make a wig in the same style so i can get to my scalp more, made one for my mum, there are reat!!!
since the 3-4 inch chop i did last month i dont know where my hair is now so once i take down this weave i should know.
but i have notice a weave makes me lazy and unwilling to moisturize, i actualy dont remember the last time i did.... i know bad, but im back at the gym this week so that with the one vit a day lots of water and veg with the new wig routine should keep me on track to my 1 inch that i was getting prior the feb set back!!!
how are you all doing!?!?!?!

Checking in: so I'm stil not getting 1 full inch a month. It's more like 1/2" to 3/4" a month, but I'm not complaining 
I think I am going to stop taking MSM now that my 34 week stretch has ended. And I will keep the biotin in my reggie. I self trimmed last Saturday & I really enjoyed being in complete control of how much I trimmed and not depending on some stylist that can't tell the difference between 1/2 an inch & 3 inches. LOL

So, judging by my ng in the back, I got at least an inch for the month. I can't really judge ng in the front because I texlaxed that by not allowing the relaxer to stay in long. The back was fully relaxed tho. Also, peeking at my length with a similar bra in a different color, I'm grazing bsl at my longest strands. I think I'll be able to claim bsl by the end of next month. I'll post a pic when I find the same copper bra for comparison in the next day or so. I'm pleased with my progress and look forward to growth from the warm months!

I think I got an inch in the last month.
The only problem is when you try 15 things for growth
it's too hard to pinpoint.
high protein no sugar diet
freeda biotin
replaced poo with WEN
Half wigs and flat twist since Jan
no more heat
learning and trying Indian herbs and oils.

i haven't really measured since february because i had permed in january so it was easy to see and measure the growth.
BUT i will finally perm again in just over 2 weeks (i'm almost 14 weeks post in a 16 week stretch) and i KNOW there are inches, yes i mean plural (!), of growth!
will it be 2? will it be 3? could it be 4?!
whatever it is, i know that it's there and i'm already totally grateful!!!
NJoy, i'm still jumping up and down for yesterday's excitement and your ng!!!

I'm trying to be consistent with my hair progress. I missed posting April's progress, my hair went through some changes. I've also been trying different natural food/hair products (bananas, avocados, coconut oil/concentrate, eggs, etc). It's hard to pinpoint what I like best so I'll try to stick to one thing for a minute.
Had to trim my ends in April (1"), was trying to wait 4-6 months, but my dry ends kept breaking off. I've started bagging and my ends are doing much better.
I seemed to be getting about 1/2" per month also, I prefer 1" per, but I'll take what I can get. Taking multivitamins and started Spirilina last month.
Also decided to stop perming/texturizing my hair, last texturizer was in Janurary. I did not realize (due to wrong products and perming) that I have the curl pattern that I have and I like it.
Here's updated hair progress pics.
By the way Njoy your hair looks good

Yes,
Bananas help to strengthen and super moisturize your hair -- like a deep conditioner would. It leaves my hair very shiny and much easier to comb out. The potassium in a banana helps to soften, and the vitamins A, B, and C help to prevent split ends. Just in case you wanted to know
If you try it, make sure you puree the bananas (old banana will do) if you can. Use a cheesecloth or strainer to strain out the lumps. Or mash it up very very well so it rinses easier.
For a hot oil treatment affect add 1 tbsp olive oil and wrap your hair in plastic wrap and hot towel, helps with shine and moisture.
It's great for your ends!

This is the second time I heard about MSM. I'm new to the hair acronyms and really did not know what was. So I looked it up. How has it worked for your hair growth, thickening, etc?
