Nutrition, Water, and Exercise for Hair Growth Challenge. You might have a better title in mind. You and @BellaRose could cohost, maybe?

N-E-W for Hair Growth 2018!
(nutrition, exercise, and water)

There's a gif/poster thingy that summarizes food for hair growth. Besides food, nutrition would include vitamins and supplements and so forth.

It hits me all the time that my hair gets nutrients AFTER my heart, brain, other cells, etc. Until my nutrition is on point, I won't be maximizing my rate of hair growth! :yep:

People could share smoothie recipes, keep accountable for weekly water intake and getting enough sleep, etc.

That sounds great. If I am not one of the ones hosting, then I would definitely join :look:
 
So I finally bought the big bottle of redken hair cleansing cream. Holy Grail status is now official I guess. Otherwise, I'm tired of these crochet braids already and I think it's because I did them so soon after the last set. I need a longer break from them.
 
Yesterday I asked DH to help me get out a knot (because wash day was going on and on, I was consequently getting tired, and so I was about to just clip it and he has the patience of Job).

The knot hairs wouldn't budge and were making a squeaky noise when he tried to pull them apart out of the knot. He said, "What is going on? Do you hear that noise? That's not supposed to happen. Where is that slip-n-slide? Do you have that on?" :lachen:

I said: "That stuff is $16 a bottle plus shipping. I was thinking about not repurchasing it anymore. I'm on my last bottle."

He has me get it, puts it on my hair, detangles the knot with ease (saving many hairs), and says, "Worth it though, don't you think. Now THAT'S one product that is actually worth it . . . right???" As he's talking, he's looking at me as if to see if there is AAAAAANY logic working in my mind when it comes to my hair product purchasing.

:lol: :lachen: Ohhhhhhhhh! :rofl:

What did it do you. Over the summer I had Marley twists in somehow my scalp got infected or something. Anyway I had this huge bump in my scalp. When I took the braids out all my hair in that braid came out. I had a big ole bald spot.

My scalp gets very white and flaky and if I try to scratch it off it bleeds:nono:
 
I dreamed about my hair last night. It was so long that I had to pile it on top of my head to keep it from dragging on the floor. May it be so.

I got up this morning and infused coconut oil with henna, amla and brahmi. It's currently solidifying so that I can add the shea butter tomorrow to make the CP Whipped Shea Butter.

It's funny, I'm on officially in any Ayurveda Challenges, but my regimen has been heavily Ayurveda-based for months now (maybe years when I really think about it and start looking at some of my staple products). My hair digs.
 
I've been in a personal ps challenge for two years, iirc. I'm still wearing wigs until spring- I need length and my hair needs care- but I had it in a little roll and tuck yesterday while I did stuff around the house and it looked so pretty! And then SO played in it while I fell asleep. :sleeptogether: :lol:
 
Which product?

@Prettymetty, I'm just checking in.

How's it going, lady? :smile:

For my part, I'm dog tired. Yesterday I worked and then later hosted 5 super young kids at the house (including our 2). I thought we were hosting just 1 extra, but it ballooned somehow. Food and trampoline and go carts and in-house movie and popcorn and Xbox games and noise and energy. I looooooooove the joy that children exude :love2: -- especially little brown ones -- and their joy is so healing and contagious and ALL of that. But they don't get tired! :lol: They just keep going and going . . .

The grandparents have the kiddos at their church right now, and I'm going to have to try to get some sleep today. I will watch our Sunday service online (not ideal, but I can't imagine us driving there this tired -- not safe, really). Hopefully I can stay awake through it.

Anyway, I was just thinking of you. Much love.
 
@NatrulyMe, how are you?

I'm just checking in: I haven't seen a lot of posts from you in the places where I visit at LHCF.

How's your fitness plan going? How's your hair faring?

For my part:
I have rededicated to my exercise and fitness goals. I had a setback because our little guy's schedule changed, and that had me driving around a lot and/or away from home. I don't like to purchase fast food from anywhere but Chick Fil A, really, so I ate too much carby stuff.

The good news is that I'm babystepping back: I have found some good alternatives, such as packing stuff. I am eating more veggies, better about my iron pills, etc.

Hair-wise: I feel my hair has consumed more time and energy and funds than I want at this point, so I'm designing an ayurvedic regimen that I'm just going to run for the next 3 months without a lot of thinking and worrying and so forth. It's DIY and logical, and I'm really enjoying it. Even though it's DIY, it ends up reducing the time sink somehow. I make an herb-infused oil mixture that -- minus its MSM -- is also used for a DIY buttercream. I mix 6 easy ingredients (distilled water, amla, brahmi, aloe Vera powder, argan oil, and vegetable glycerin) to make a DIY curl activator tea leave-in.

I've gotten my wash day simplified: Prepoo, exfoliate and treat scalp, cleanse strands, use a balancing deep conditioner, detangle, and finally Cat-DC-B: curl activator tea, detangling cream, butter. I install 6 sleek twists on each side of my head, ponytail them, and wig it until I'm ready to wear a twist out. I gently retwist at night. When I get tired of the twist out, I convert it to a twist-bun and rock it for days until the next wash day. Every now and then I will covert the getting-too-old twist out to a wash and go done on dry hair (I just learned how to do this and it ROCKS!).​

Much love, lady! Hope to see you around the board.
 
@YvetteWithJoy thanks for checking on me :bighug:

I'm feeling much better. I washed and styled my hair Friday. I'll wash again tomorrow, but this time I will dc with heat.

I've been working a lot trying to pass the time and get over everything. I may get that blonde ombre wig that I've been eyeing after I trim my ends. I feel like I need another 6-12 months to achieve my length goals.

What better way to wait it out than under a wig?:rocker:
