My Hair Grew Fast When _______________

[BlackRinse]

Started Finger Detangling, Using coconut oil and throwing in a bun. Or braided under a wig using MN + Coconut Oil Mix. Oh and I also cowash frequently.

 

[fifigirl]

Used MN and sulphur oils......

 

[ladybug71]

Got back to back sew-ins. For 6 months, I was weaved up. That winter, I wore wigs. Fastest growth I've ever had. Also protein shakes for breakfast every morning.

 

[Drtondalia]

I was taking NIOXIN vitamins

I have a half a bottle of them left, their worth more than gold.

My hair grew almost 2 inches in 11 weeks when I had it braided in a circle (our natural growth pattern) and worn under a lacefront wig. I cut the lace completely off and left out the very front of my own hair. I was able to co-wash every few days and massage my scalp every single night.

I'm thinking of trying that for the next two months.

Circle as in beehive?

When my mom did my hair. Yasss, growing up she did my sister and my hair faithfully everyday with a tall plastic cup of water, dip the brush in the cup of water, apply grease to our hair, and pull on the hair as she applied the grease from root to tip. Seriously, if I had her continue doing my hair I wouldn't have to wear wigs as I await my hair to be thick since I have length after ignorantly abusing my hair with so much heat...thinned it out. I should pay her. lol

 

[**SaSSy**]

Sprayed it with plain water everyday like a plant. My hair loves water..

 

[Lita]

My hair grew the fastest when,had my hair in lose protected styles,drinking acai berries at breakfast, drinking green smoothies at dinner,ayurveda hair treatments and taking MSM powder 2xs,multi & bamboo silica caps 2xs...


Happy Hair Growing!

-training for a half marathon and cowashing daily.

 

[PuddingPop]

When I stopped listening to yall biaches .

No seriously, when I stopped jumping on every bandwagon and new product known to man and stuck to solid hair principles ( dc'ing, moisturizing, etc) my hair grew the best.

 

[melisandre]

I retained the most length when I was wigging and keeping my hair in large cornrows for about 4 weeks at a time. I need to get back to that once the weather cools a little.

 

[Saga]

When I was locing my hair and decided to unlock them after 4 months. I retained all my length, don't think it was as thick however.

 

[curlyTisME]

I started a regimen which included a trip to the beautician here and there. She keeps me on track!

 

[LadyAmani]

I feel ashamed to say... not often (if at all). I used to think that my hair would matt and tangle if I washed it in the braids. I'd never had them before. Even though I've always been into hair, it was before I knew anything of 'protective styling'.

Don't feel ashamed. I hardly wash only if I see some kind of build up on my scalp.

What i'm currently doing. I had a trim a few months ago and I've already gained my inches back

When I was eating organic eggs for a year. My coworker kept her neighbor's six pet Araucana & “Easter Egger" hens while his home was under renovation. They laid so many eggs she'd distribute them at work. My hair looked fake; shiny, wiry with lots of body. It also went from layered APL/BSB to full waist.

Wow, how did you prepare the eggs, i.e. scramble, boiled, in other dishes?

how did you unlock?

 

[gn1g]

looks like what you put in your mouth has more to do with hair growth than topical ointments and potions.
I am also slightly surprise about runners are those that exercise and gain more growth. This should be pitched hard to all AA women.
I am definitely going to incorporate more protein in my diet.
Love this thread!

Thank you, I don't shame easy but is a stark comparison to how often I wash my hair these days.

 

[sunnieb]

Bunned for almost a year straight.

Back then I even dc'd 2x a week a and cowashed 1x a week.

Can't imagine doing all that now. I'm happy with my hair health and length. I'm doing good to keep up with weekly dc's.

Right after I had my oldest son I went on a high protein diet for weight loss. My hair grew super fast during that time. Unfortunately I only did it a few months

did the protein also make it thicker?

 

[Saga]

how did you unlock?

Suave/Tressemme Conditioner, evoo, and a fine toothed comb. I'd spray my loc with water, slather it with conditioner and or conditioner/oil depending on the dryness and just work from end to root very slowly and methodically while watching a show. It took a long time, but I was in school and wore a lot of hats/wigs so it wasn't so bad.

 

[Bibliophile]

@gn1g
I used them in any recipe that required eggs. I made omelettes, scrambled eggs, potato salad, casseroles pasta salad, deviled eggs, French toast, fried rice, sliced in a tossed salad, etc.

I think food and nutrition play the biggest role, whereas topical aids help with ensuring the best scalp condition for your follicles

 

[twolala]

my hair grew fast when I stopped obsessing over it and I cut down on my washes ( only once a month)

 

[MizAvalon]

Any kind of braided style where my hair is left alone has always been best for helping me to retain length.

Whether that's a weave with my hair braided underneath or Havana twists or crochet braids.

 

[Prettymetty]

did the protein also make it thicker?

Yes and no. It didn't give me more strands, but the existing strands reached new lengths. That gave the appearance of thicker hair, fuller buns, etc.

 

[yaya24]

Years ago following this regi:

Wig & Cornrows for a month at a time.

Full head baggy at night.

Cowashed a few times a week and then once I took out the cornrows, shampoo, protein Dc, moisture Dc and did the regimen over.
