I need some advice

I have a special event in 3 1/2 months; I would love to grow my current length 2 - possibly 3 more inches by then. Does anyone have any tips that they can give me to make this happen. And is this amount of growth in such a short time period possible? Thank you in advance....
 
I get a lot of growth by frequent washing and protective styles. I would also add moisturize and no heat. I also obtained a lot of growth last year by wearing a phony pony and a baggie. I think stretching my relaxers to every 4 mos helped as well.
 
I havent tried any of the growth aids like MTG, MN or anything like that but you might wanna try doing things that will stimulate growth.

1) Try going on a Hair Super Diet

Eat an incredibly protein rich diet from now until then- fish, eggs, chicken for meats. Maybe eggs or a protein shake for breakfast.

HEAPS of green veggies like spinach, swiss chard, kale, broccoli.

Nuts for salty snack like almonds, peanuts, walnuts.

Two to three servings of fruits like bananas, strawberries and blueberries for a sweet snack.

This is basically my diet plus I take a wheatgrass shot daily (which someone told me was like 2 lbs of veggies:look: )

2) Drink water and only water between now and then

Caffeine, sodas, sugary drinks and alchohol supposedly hinder hair growth.

3) Exercise you a$$ off

Cardio 3-5 times a week to increase circulation and combat stress. Plus, it will force you to wash your hair more frequently

4) Create a healthy scalp environment

Frequent washing to clear your scalp so hair follicles can push on through without any buildup to block it.

Condition with pre-poos and deep conditioning treatment to nourish hair

Do protective styles to retain moisture and length.

5) Try to boost the amount of sleep per night

Even going from 6-7 hours to 8 hours can make a difference.

Seems like a lots of work but, as my mama once told me, anything worth having is worth working for:D

Great tips...I just printed this to put on fridge...
 
:D

Oh, i almost forgot.

For exercise, grab a buddy or SO/BF/DH and play a sport of some sort.

On Saturday, my bf and I played raquetball at our gym and it was one of the funnest (:look: dont judge me) things we've ever done. It gets u off the couch, is super user friendly and you feel like you are "working out". It was soo much fun and I worked up a little sweat:lol:

Some great interactive sports that are fun with a buddy:

Tennis

Basketball

Bicyclying

Rollerblading

Having a Family Sports Day and playing Capture the Flag, Baseball, Soccer,Tag, Red Rover, Relay Races, etc.

Just a thought:)
 
Make sure you try to retain every single inch you grow! You're going to have to do it in order to reach your goal! As far as growth aids. I've gotten 2 inches in two months from MTG and biotin but I can't say that these alone caused the rapid growth. It could have been washing often and keeping my scalp clean Some great advice given by the other ladies. Hope you reach your goal.

I agree. You have to be extra careful if you want to achieve those growth results. Keep your ends moisturized and protected. Do not trim. Take vits (multi, biotin, msm) everyday. And for the next three months, I would stay away from combs, brushes, heat, chemical processes; basically anything that can potentially harm your hair.
