Visualization


[/ QUOTE ]

Does this mean that you visualize your hair growing? If so, I can say I do something similar...every night I dream of all the new hair products I'm going to try soon and of my hair growing. Don't know if its working or not because my hair is still in braids...

 

[lunalight7]

I use visualization for everything. All things begin with a vision...

 

[Guest]

Thanks for answering, lunalight. I think I will do more research on visualization. I heard it helps with illnesses too, not to sure though which is why I need to do more research.

Sure i dont mind sharing. i got it from a member of another site

you could either buy dry rosemary leaves or buy rosemary tea bags from the health food store.

get a pot of water and either drop 4 rosemary teabags or 4 tbsp rosemary leaves into the water and boil.

let steep for 2 hrs.

when it cools drain it and put in spray bottle

As a preservative put a few drops of sage oil or vitamin E oil ( i use vitamin e oil)

keep refrigerated and spray scalp daily

I find this method very effective and my hair has definitely grown. This is why i havent even bothered with surge.

*note dont use if you have high blood pressure or if u hate the smell of rosemary which can be strong.

happy growing!
