Hi everyone, I forgot to add a couple things. I have contributed to my hair growth by not using direct heat on the ends and manipulating it. I cheat a little with the heat. If my hair is too wet, and i do not want to catch a cold, i blow dry my scalp, but with my silk scarf on. This actually gives my hair a lot shine, and does not dry it all. However i never let the heat touch the ends of my hair. When it was warmer over the summer, I would air dry completely, but now since the weather is changing i can not take chances. The lack of combing and direct heat on my ends has saved my hair from minimal breakage. Furthermore, i just take a multi-vitamin daily, but no other vitamins. I am trying to eat more fish in my diet, and i try to eat healthy as possible. But it is hard being in college. Oh how could i forget. I am love workout. I use to run 4-6 miles five times a week. I am trying to get back on schedule. I did gymnastics for a second which think created a lot a blood circulation to the scalp. I am incorporating jumping roping too. I feel that the exercising has contribute greatly to my hair growth. Lastly and most importantly, I have stayed away from my SHS for over year. Thank you Supergirl!!! Thank you again ladies for the encouragement.
