Here is mine:
Condition wash with Suave Tropical Cocoanut
Deep Condition with Proclaim Cholesterol, olive oil & shea butter...
Leave In conditioner Infusium with Rosemary Oil added
Followed by Spritz of Surge (this is new to my regimine)
Until I get 4 more inches - do the bantu knot twist out with shea butter to hold the twist and protect my ends...
Trim 4 times a year.
I take 1500 mgs of MSM
GNC Megawoman Vitamin with No Iron.
Atkins Diet (no red meat though)
Exercise (at least) 3 days per week
1 Gallon of water a day.
Did anybody say when we are starting?

I got rid of my birth controll pills. Since it is said they deplete the b vitamins and b vitamins are essentially for growth.
I think that exercise and overall diet is essential for creating the environment for growth. Plus I've been trying to get rid of my belly for over a year
. I plan on exercising at least 4x a week (crossing my fingers hoping I can do it). I will continue to eat healthy and consume a fair amount of protein.
I have a lot of vitamins and I plan to at least take everything until it's all gone, but I will be most consistent with MSM, biotin, inositol, b complex and an EFA.
I will wash at least a week sometimes more.
I'll continue to keep my hair braided as that works best for my busy schedule.
I will continue to use Surge.
So far I've been taking my vitamins and surging every other day. The only exercise that I have gotten is from walking though. I have been just too tired to get up at 4am and too tired to think about exercising at 9pm.

This is what I already do:
Vits: Biotin, MSM, Amino Acid Complex, Vitamin C, Digestive enzymes, Multi Vit Plenty of Water, Daily washing
What I will add or change: Change multivit to hair skin and nails vit(they have the same ingredients and then some) Excercise more often, start massaging scalp, pick up on protein intake, maybe even add a protein shake.

I am going to take my vitamins faithfully. I have been slacking. Try to wear my hair in twists for 2 weeks at a time. I like to change styles alot, so that may not happen. I will keep my scalp clean. I usually conditioner wash 5 days per week, and use shampoo 2 days/week, but recently I have been slacking because of finals. My scalp has started to flake, and now I know I need to get back to washing more. I need to do more deep conditoning, and a protein treatment every now and again. I also want to grow in my thin spots with massages.

Im going to make my goal 12 inches, but I'm changing it to by January, because I want to get my hair trimmed and start fresh. I want all of the split ends gone before I start so that I don't have to worry about them.I'm getting it trimmed sometime after Christmas.

I'm not really sure yet, but I'll post my plan soon.
I have trimed my hair and will continue with my daily CO washes. I have increased my biotin to 8000mg & MSM to 3000mg per day. Drinking 8 glasses of water per day and trying to incorporate more fish in my diet. I am 8 weeks post touch up. Currently using Nexxus Therappe Shampoo every other week. Daily CO washes with Nexxus Humectress or Pantene Sleek and Smooth. Nexxus Emergencee once a month. I just started to use surge and WGO. I use the surge on a broke spot in my scalp and WGO on my ends.

I plan to get my hair braided Jan 1 2004 and keep it until March 1, 2004 I'm going to take it down deep condition and put it back up until May 1 deep condition with aphoghee and put it back up!! you get the picture every two months all the way until Jan 1 2005 meanwhile I'm surging every night and everytime I braid I'm going to put a ton of vaseline on my ends. I also will con wash every week and take my vitamins which I may revise at a later date.

I think of my 2004 plan in challenges:
Vitamin challenge: I still haven't refined it yet, but I am thinking of using GNC HSN, B-complex, Amino acid-complex, SS Cod liver oil w/evening primrose, & chlorella...phew.
Hydrochallenge: going for 64 oz a day
Scalp massage challenge: at least 5 minutes every day
Protein challenge: 100+ grams daily (including protein shakes, chicken and more stuff like sardines and tuna as opposed to red meat)
As far as how I'll be treating my hair directly: I plan to alternate protective styles (buns, braids), use less heat (I plan to straighten no more than 3 times for the year), and just overall TLC!
