Ok take me step by step through your reggie, what ayurveda products do you use exactly? O MY YOUR GROWTH IS INSPIRATIONAL!! I started my journey before you (february) with sl hair and Im still sl...ugh!

I started off in April/May doing hot oil massages with Shikakai or Brahmi Amla oil the nights before I washed my hair with Ayurvedic powders. (I wash my hair twice a week). I started using Shikakai, Brahmi and Amla twice a week, but later switched to Kalpi Tone. I haven't used any powders in the last 6 weeks or so though .
After every wash, I deep conditioned for an hour minimum, alternating between moisture and protein. I alternated between ORS Mayo + 1 egg and any cheapie deep conditioner such as coconut and almond conditioner.
I never really stick any brand.
I add rosemary oil to my deep conditioners too.
I was taking MSM, Flaxseed, Vitamin B Complex, Vitamin A,C and D and Silica... need to start taking my vitamins again... .
I always plait my hair after every wash and wear a wig (or phony pony on rare occasions) as a protective style.
I baggy and wear a satin bonnet every night.
I used to moisturise and seal daily, however, I have got lazy with that as well and maybe do this twice a week (after I wash my hair).
At the moment, I'm Co-washing, but I'm going to get back into the Ayurvedic regimen soon... hopefully.

Thanx for all the comments girls!
I can honestly say, that without LHCF and all the great advice from you guys, I would have still been stuck at shoulder length and my hair would have been in terrible condition .

Its still not in the condition I would like it to be in, but its a h3ll of a lot better... TRUST ME!

I wonder if I could make it to BSL by the end of the year since it took 4 1/2 months to get from SL to APL... ... nah, I'll be happy just to get to full APL and have thicker hair by then.
