are people applying this and then rinsing it out? Is that the only way to use to this to see good results? This wouldnt work well for me because I dont wash my hair that often esp if its weaved up. when its out typically between 1-2 weeks
I apply it, and rinse it out usually twice, but sometimes (like last week) only once a week. There is some thought that rinsing more often might allow for better access to the scalp, and better growth - but my hair/routine/lifestyle just isn't trying to hear that, right now. Maybe somewhere down the line........ I think that if you apply it every day, and rinse/wash once a week, you'll be fine. Otherwise, apply it every other day, and rinse/wash every other week.
Of course, keep a close eye on your hair, and see if it's starting to get hard/stiff/breakage - that means that you NEED a mid point moisturzing DC, and you'll either have to get your hair wet more often, or use the MT less. Ain't no sense of growing hair faster if you are just gonna have it break off from too much protein, ya feel me?
Just checking in.
I had a touch up yesterday at 10 weeks.
My hairstylist had to trim my ends though. He said it looked like someone had been chewing on them. So I lost 1/2" which I was sad about.
..
You would think right? Maybe it's a result of detangling my ends.
Mrhph!!!
Hair does
not grow evenly/blunty. All those 'chewed up ends' were the hairs that were high achievers and growing longer/faster than the rest of your strands are - so it looked all choppy because not all of your hair had caught up - it wasn't breakage, it was
growth.
*pours a lil MT out for JN's high scorers*
Quit trimming off your perfectly healthy hair, woman!
Especially considering you wear it up all the time - ain't nobody gonna see it!

I know it was just lovely!!!! I'm so jelly. I can't wait to see your progress, JL!!
Maybe I can cut out my lunch and dinner and walk to school for one week to support my habit.
My laptop is broken so I have to use the computer at the library until I buy another. I wish I could have seen your progress.
THANKS JUSTKIYA!
I should still be able to apply the MT. I'm just worried I won't get it under the hair...anyone have results in cornrow???
so I'm aiming for both length and thickness. I WOULD NOT suggest putting the MT or OCT on the length of your hair any longer than 15-30 minutes regularly but FOR MY HAIR I think I'd be comfortably doing this about once a month for now, just making sure that I listen to my hair when it comes to protein overload.
), but I don't know what's going on. It seems like it's growing out almost - dare I say - straightish? - so it's just not holding the twists nearly as well as they used to.

Oh, goodie, I think. 
My pulled back styles stay very neat, though. 
. I'm super excited right now
