I secretly GHE'd a few nights ago. Hair was completely dried. Woke up with frizzy, soggy roots. Not the business....for me.
 
Baggied yesterday from am till bedtime. Hair is becoming so soft it's amazing. I really like doing this because there's less build-up come washday and less need to keep re-applying products through the week.
 
GHE'd last night with sulfur oil mix, used a bit more oil than usual I think. It's ok, since my roots dried rather quickly after taking the bag off. Gonna spritz with my spray bottle mix to get rid of a bit of the sulfur scent.
 
I have been Gh'ing for about 1 month now. I haven't seen any sebum yet though. I have been doing it for at least 12 hours per day. My hair was cornrowed into a circle, for I have been wigging it.

Anyone see any sebum yet?

Bump - ladies, what long term benefits did you all achieve from continuing GHE?

Moisturized hair the long term benifits are minimal ssk's and splits = better retention.
 
This is long over-due ladies and I apologize for not keeping you updated but I had family issues so here you go!!!!

You can still do the GHE on straight hair just wrap your hair first, put your scarf on, then the bag, and then the cap. I do this when my hair is straight and it looks like I came from the salon all shiny, and moisturized!

Hey DivaJones, I'm trying this method tonight since I have two flat twists in my head that I'm trying to preserve. This will be my first time using a scarf first. Hopefully I'll get some moisture going.
 
I'm loving this challenge....still doing it. I did the BC on 9/23 so now im doing it on a fade, lol.
 
omg, I was just thinking about this a couple nights ago wondering if anyone does it anymore. Since I'm having moisture retention issues lately, I was thinking that I was to resume the GHE method. Well blazingthru, you got one person here. :grin:
 
Smiley79, prettybyrd,

I have been doing this for three weeks and I have seen my crown flourish, its healthy and thick again. thats the number one thing I been so excited about. I have seen thickness and I do this every night without fail. it doesn't bother me. But I have learned to make sure I do my hair first. waking up and walking around with an afro is damaging on my hair and so I stopped doing that

Congrats on your regrowth! I love this method. I don't always add oil to my scalp or hair when I do it, but it works for me just the same. I have edges again thanks to ghe.
 
So I use two baggies, two bonnets and a thick net hat. My hair is sometimes very very wet and sometimes just very moist. So excited about doing the three month challenge, though I plan to be here until i reach my goal. I use avocado oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil and argan oil all cold pressed, on my ends not my scalp but I do massage my scalp every day as well. It has stopped me from itching. oh and my grey hair is all over the place, that I dont' like at all, guess I will Henna this weekend.
 
I'm going to do this. I am trying to get my hair to finally get to ponytail level on natural hair that is not blow dried.:nono: I am 13 months post BC and I am dying for my hair to grow. I am going to try this method for 3 months. I'm going to keep my hair in protective styles for the challenge.
 
Hey!!

I GHE at least 3Xs a week overnight for about the past 6 months. I am texturized and finally retaining length for the first time ever. My hair has gotten thicker and I dont get those short broken hairs anymore when I comb.

I moisturize with shea moisture restorative conditioner and seal with jbco or safflower oil.

If this challenge is revived...I'm in!!!

I LOVE this HHJ!!
 
i tend to ghe more often in fall/winter...usually just about every night. sometimes i fall off the wagon...for a long time. i just started going back to doing it. i always love doing ghe/baggy.
 
I did GHE soooo much about two years ago, I'll probably try so more this winter :)
