I've had mines for a little over a month. I apply it to my scalp as much as I can. I'm natural and my hair is EXTREMELY thick, so it's hard to get it directly to my scalp. I apply it every other day, because I co-wash every other day. I haven't really done any growth checks since becoming natural, so I don't know how much it has grown since I've started using it.
I've had micro braids for the past two weeks though, and I've only applied it once. I haven't used it on a regular basis with the braids because I'm afraid of build-up. But, I must say, I have almost a 1/2 inch of new growth after two weeks. So that may be about an inch a month. NaturalLady, what do you think about using it while in braids?? Do you think the ingredients will cause build-up at the roots (tip of braid beginning)??
