PROGRESS PICS FOR OCT/MT USERS: 6/1 - 9/1

[Nice & Wavy]

I finally got a change to go through every progress pic. OMG, your progress is phenomenal. Plus the support, encouragement, and love that is expressed in this & the main thread is so heart warming. I am so proud and happy to be amongst you.

Since I went through so many pix, I cannot congratulate or comment on each one - afterall this thread is getting to be long enough - LOL. However, I just wanted to say you guys have done well. Your hard work is paying off.

I also want to reiterate what others have said. Some people did get fast results. However, it generally does take "some" time. So if you started a month ago & you don't see a lot, please don't be discouraged. Give it some time.

Also, if you notice - many of us (me included) started not to post pictures because we didn't see progress or didn't want anyone to see our hair. You don't have to post. But I encourage you to do so. We often CANNOT see our own progress & it takes others to point it out. When N&W or JK, say something like "you guys really see that?" & I am thinking well it is obvious how long, or shiney, or thick it is, I then realize that may be true for me to.

So keep encouraged, be consistent, and I KNOW YOU WILL HAVE AMAZING RESULTS!!!!

Thank you all for who you are.

Thank you, sis. I'm happy for you!

Amazing progress ladies!!! I took the time to go through the thread and these pics give me more inspiration to keep using and stay consistent with this product. Wow, just wow. N&W, beautiful hair. I can see the growth with out you stretching it. Rhapsdyblu, you grow girl!!! You growing a whole new head of hair over there. Congratulations!!

Again everybody, CONGRATS on your progress!!! Subscribing for inspiration.

Thank you, sis.

wOW!WHICH ONE ARE YOU USING THE BLUE OR PINK BOTTLE?
Your hair has really grown

I use the blue bottle but, I also use OCT.

Yes I just noticed it too. It looks like you are leaning forward. Your hair could be longer. Must redo and allow us to stare at photo again.

Really? Girl, maybe because I had my camera up on a glass shelf in my bathroom on the timer and trying to take the pic before the timer is up....guess it didn't work to well huh?...lol.

Well, I'm glad you and Dlewis noticed that. When I straighten again, I will make sure to be more mindful of how I'm standing.

Thanks so much.

Here are my progress pix, which I did not expect to see this soon. I thought I was delusional. But others have confirmed growth so here it is:

08-25-08------09-04-08

ummmm, that's like 2 INCHES in a WEEK AND A HALF? Wow, congratulations but Girl, you could get about 50 inches a year at that rate

 

[Miss*Tress]

Looking good, january noir! I remember your first posts where you talked about how fine and fragile your hair is. It's come a long way since then.

I'll be a hairy ****!

Okay, so I finally decide to post my progress, yesterday I went to my stylist and got a perm. When she rinsed my hair I was ecstatic because I noticed at least 3 inches of NG, but as suspected my joy was short live, as she explain i needed a trim because my ends were splitting, but she promised to only take or 1/2 inchyeah and I'm Tyra Banks. I knew she was going to take 1 inch or more, so I explained how hard I have been trying to grow out my hair. The DH says it looks good, not to worry, but I've tried so hard to protect my ends. I have noticed the growth and I am pleased with my over all results. I started using Ovation kit around 7/20 the funny thing is that I wasn't even using it everyday. Maybe three times a week, & I still received growth.

OMG- you have had incredible results! Yay! These products do not need to be used daily- and it still works.

 

[Platinum]

Ahhh, I'm home and can see your pictures now. You're right, you didn't get much length, but holy thickness!!! You look like you have twice as much hair - and did you dye it, or is it darker too??



I keep looking back and forth at the two pictures - it's so much THICKER! That's just amazing!!! Your hair really looks healthy and - lush - now. Wow. It looks good.

Thanks. Nah, I didn't dye it ( I want to check out Henna & Indigo soon). I think it loks darker in the 2nd&3rd pics because I took then in a truckstop and the lights are low. I took the first one at home.

Thank you all for who you are.

Excellent advice. Thank you!

You got thickness!!!! Yay!

Thanks, sis!

Thanks Ladies. I feel better that you guys saw some improvement in my hair.wallbash: Dang it, I want some length) Sorry, I had a moment. Now that I've achieved some thickness, I'm ready to see some length. Next stop, shoulder length by Dec.

That's some good growth! Congratulations. Your hair has really improved.( Hmm. Perhaps I should order the Ovation to use with MT)

 

[flowinlocks]

Well, here are some pics. Not as much progress as everyone else but I noticed that I got a little growth but it got a little thicker. Sorry about the quality, it's from my phone and I didn't have anyone to help me take the pics.

It doesn't look like it grew much and I'm upset about it but I had to remember that my hair had been severely damaged for a while and instead of BC'ing, I opted to try to "nurse" it back to health. Hopefully, I can see some real improvement for our next reveal and have a digicam for better pics.

The second picture reveals a much thicker head of hair, if you look closely at the left side by your ear, you can actually see some length, hang in there!!!

08-25-08------09-04-08

OMG this is making me dizzy!!!

 

[flowinlocks]

I posted these in the other progress picture thread but I'll post them here:

NICE GROWTH!!!!

 

[flowinlocks]

Even though I haven't used the product in about 6 weeks I am still going to post my progress picks. I ran out and it wasn't in the budget to buy more. I am getting ready to switch over to MT. It's more affordable.

July update:

September update:

looks MUCH thicker & healthier in the second pic, in the third one I can see it creepin down yo back!!!!

 

[flowinlocks]

Ok, let me just say I feel the need to call you ladies out, I THOUGHT I was going to be able to comment on every progress pic. but IT'S JUST TOO MANY!!, today I go into work late so I finally had time to actually STUDY the pics. , and WOW!!!!, y'all bout to make me leap off my seat!!, mainly because it's a difference in (saying) a product works , and seeing actual results. It reinforces why I stick to my reggie, use my growth aids daily,makes me feel better about the money I've spent on products, etc. And last but CERTAINLY not least, it confirms why I spend the time that I do on this board, you ladies continue to inspire & motivate. Thanks for the best newbie experience I could have ever asked for. Some of you I have commented on your individual pics., but as I said before, it's just too many!!!, but I want to give a flowinlock shout-out to the ladies I didn't, you guys keep up the great progress!! I can't wait to post in Dec., If I missed anyone please forgive me.

Thank you hun, the $$$ I spent on this product has been worth it. It's more than just hair that's being uplifted. That's what's so great about this. I can't wait till my sister gets her bottle.

Welcome to LHCF.

Oh but look how lush it is! I absolutely love your hair slim. You will be back to where you were before the trim and beyond before you know it. I agree with your DH. Very good progress.

Thanks. Nah, I didn't dye it ( I want to check out Henna & Indigo soon). I think it loks darker in the 2nd&3rd pics because I took then in a truckstop and the lights are low. I took the first one at home.

You'll get the length in short order Platinum. Make sure you massge your scalp daily to get that length, okay honey? Stay encouraged and remember, we gat your back and we are your support here, hugs - .

Yay. Thanks!! I am currently putting it up in a sew-in so I won't be able to see it for a couple of months. That's a good thing for me!! Trying to do no trims for a while.

 

[dontspeakdefeat]

Congrats DSD!

Lovely growth.

Thank you!! I'm a getting all excited now. You guys have really encouraged me!

 

[caribgirl]

Well, here are some pics. Not as much progress as everyone else but I noticed that I got a little growth but it got a little thicker. Sorry about the quality, it's from my phone and I didn't have anyone to help me take the pics.

Beginning of August:

Today:

It doesn't look like it grew much and I'm upset about it but I had to remember that my hair had been severely damaged for a while and instead of BC'ing, I opted to try to "nurse" it back to health. Hopefully, I can see some real improvement for our next reveal and have a digicam for better pics.

Platinum!!

I see growth AND thickness!!! My hair was severely damaged when I started and I too chose not to BC it and nurse it back to health!!! Keep up the great work!!! Your hair is improving, sweetie!!!

 

[2inspireU]

I wasn't going to check my growth until Jan 2009, but I couldn't wait. I don't use OCT that regularly(running low on my bottle) and still managed to get the growth I did. I am going to purchase a new bottle and use it regularly because BSL here I come.
