I still have a weave in my hair, so I will post my end of year photos around the second week of January. My goal is to keep my hair hidden for the rest of the winter.
Before I had the weave installed my hair reached collarbone length. My stylist trimmed my hair just above collarbone length, so I think I will be back there after I take this weave out.
I have learned that my hair is just too fine for a lot of protective styles, so wigs and partial weaves are my best options. I heard that the price of hair is set to increase due to tariffs placed on China, so I may just have to bun on blow-dried hair as a protective style.
I have my staple products and I’m not interested in any new products at this time. I just want to be consistent for a year with my staples.
I really enjoyed you guys and always looked forward to reading your posts. I don’t know if there will be a 2025 thread, but I’m interested.
I hope you guys have a wonderful holiday season. May the Creator and your ancestors continue to watch over you and may blessings abound in your life always.

Did you notice a change in your hair texture from the fenugreek/rosemay/clove oil?
I ask because I am starting to notice a change at the roots of my hair. It feels like I have 'new growth' coming in thick and coarser, as if I am growing out a relaxer. It's not just puffiness, it is thickness because I can't squeeze it down flat. It's a real, new thickness.
The hair around this area is maybe 4 inches if I stretch and pull it hard and if I am generous with giving it length of 4 inches. That is consistent with the time line of when I started using the oil. I think in my chart I said I started the oil in January but I think it was around March or April. Thus, that would allow for 8 months of growth which would be four (4) months of possible length gain and retention at the roots.
My hair seriously feels like I am growing out a relaxer and my roots are more textured than the bulk of my hair. I have not put any chemicals in my hair and I have not used any texture changing stuff, like bonding products in years.
Found it and Confirmed it!
Oh! My! Goodness.... was it the....
Sprouted fenugreek oil???
- Was it the sprouted fenugreek/rosemary/clove oil that got me out of my 12 Year Break Cycle and created the new, thickened, four new inches of growth at my roots????

- Started Using Oil in April, so need about a month for the new growth to show through at around May - The sprouted fenugreek oil use is parallel to the 4 inches of changed hair texteure timeline ( May to December is 8 months. So about 1/2 inch of growth per month is about four (4) inches in total on average that is grown out. Which matches the length amount of my newer, thicker, coarser roots.
- Fenugreek stops breakage and increases thickness!

Seeing all of the different methods and ways of making and using fenugreek is very exciting to me. My daughter suffered major breakage in her crown from using Olaplex last year (her hair is relaxed). She has been using a combination of the fenugreek oil, rice water and rosemary water in rotation ever since. She said the breakage has finally stopped and she is seeing new growth in the area. She asked me to cornrow her hair so that she can begin wearing wigs to give her hair a rest. With the amount of thickness and length she has already attained, I am expecting great results over these next few months.
