Just finished my 3rd bottle of Manetabolism today. I've experienced great growth with these and will definitely continue to take them. I've been in braids since Nov 15th and my new growth is off the chain! I'm taking them down next week and will update with before and after pictures.

Happy New Year

Welcome to you all! This year is the year of our hair!! Thank you all to have joined and will signup in the near future. Let's keep eachother encouraged and plan on a length check every 3 months or whenever is convenient for you! I've been taking my hair infinity consistently but do notice almost immediate hair shedding if I skip a few days. Anyone else experience this?

I personally don't take hairfinity but I know ppl who used to and they said they experience shedding when they stopped taking them all together.

I need a fish oil supplement, does it make you burp or smell like fish?

I only take fish oil supplements by Nordic Naturals. Fish oil shouldn't smell fishy and if it does, its usually because its rancid - even if its new.

As of yesterday started 2015 on a good note by:
a) Finishing the last of my Biotin Bottle
b) Taking a multi-vitamin
c) Massaging my scalp for 4 mins
d) Starting the 30-day squat challenge

 

[Firstborn2]

Once I finish my Bamboo tea, I think I will replace it with MSM powder.

Are you using any oils for your scalp massage? I've been using jojoba oil because I've noticed some really dry patches in the back of my head which has led to thinning. Those dry patches itch terribly but I've found that jojoba oil has all but eliminated the itchiness and dry areas. It's still to early to tell as I've only been massaging with it, two mins each day for the past two weeks. I remain hopeful however.

Got this on Black Friday and have just now cracked it open. I'm upset that I waited so long because this cream is incredible!!!!! It goes on so smoothly, smells delightful and almost instantly moisturized my hair. I'm a straight haired natural and it didn't cause too much reversion despite the first ingredient being water. This one is a keeper!!

WOW!!!! Your hair looks so much thicker and has definitely grown. I can certainly tell the difference. Keep it up!!

 

[Jace032000]

I've been taking my Hair Infinity .....still experiencing shedding but I think I've narrowed it down to hormones.

 

[Firstborn2]

NaturallyBri87, oh now that's some good progress in such a short time span. Don't make me chuck my spirulina and chlorella for manetabolism.lol

Just ordered a bottle of black seed with garlic capsules. This should be good for overall health and my research says it can help the hair come in healthier and maaaaybe faster. The reviews say its given them nasty burps as a side effect lol. I got a 30day supply to start and see how I like it.

Otherwise still very consistent with my daily multi and collagen

Thank you everyone! Those were my results after three bottles! I'm going to do another length check at 5 months and then get a silk press my hair at 6 months..with falls right around my birthday.

That first picture with my hair pressed out will be my comparison pic when I do my 6 month press. Can't wait to see the difference!

 

[Jace032000]

Well I'm back to BSL after reaching my goal of MBL last month. I had to get a much needed trim and had about 3 inches chopped off. Although I miss having MBL hair...my hair feels noticeably healthier. Off to take my hair infinity lol

Been taking my hair infinity vitamins faithfully!

Last week I told ya'll that I got a trim. At first I was sad because she took off about 3 inches. But honestly my hair feels great and I love the neatly trimmed look. Here is a pic of my current length.

Still taking my manetabolism! About to start my 5th bottle in about 3 days
