Okay so this is an UPDATE to this thread. There is a lot of growth so I want to share what I was doing originally and what I am doing now: I am now putting in Pic five of my bangs for this date. Please look at pic 4. If you want to click it, it will show Oct 25 2008 on it as that was the date it was taken. I just took this one so it will say Nov 14th on it 2008. I use my bangs as a reference because even when I braid my hair up, I leave out some bangs and swoop them to the side. And please I know I don't cut them even, I'm not perfect. That's not the point! I am also letting them grow some more until they are possibly longer then chin length, and then they can have that sexy longer swoop to the side thing going on. I will then cut to even. So anyways I took a pic of the same area again now, and you can see for yourself. The 4th one barely touched my bottom lip with a part of it slightly grazing over. The one weeks later is going in between lip and chin and I have 11 days before Nov 25th almost two more full weeks of growth. Who knows what will happen! Keep in mind, no growth until this week and then another mad growth spurt. The only thing I changed since last time which could've contributed to what I was already doing is below. BTW pic 1 was taken OCT 19 2008 (click it and see the date as it was on camera phone and captures the exact date it was taken) So from Pic 1 to Pic 5 in less than a month (a little over 3 weeks, you can see the growth). Although I just perfected my eating plan and tea rinses within the last week, so we'll see if I can top that too!)
I did have a growth spurt originally from eating right but that soon stopped. Then last week, all of a sudden my hair had another. I did change a few things I still eat a lot of veggies but I added 1-2 eggs breakfast, and also fish 3 times a week (well this week it was fried fish sandwich, some shrimp tempura, and a piece of grilled fish. I was craving fried so leave me alone I hardly ever do it so I went a little overboard) Also I've been washing my hair with nettle rinse (just added peach pits and strained last week to that nettle rinse), as a final rinse. I also drink a cup of nettle tea a day. I also tried coffee wash early this week too, so I don't know which took off. If you want to know in detail what I did step by step let me know, but I know my eyes aren't deceiving me. I didn't want this post to be a novel so I'm just writing a basic write up for now. I can only imagine how fast the rest of my hair is growing if my bangs which are always manipulated are growing this fast). MAKE SURE TO CHECK OUT PIC 4 AND 5 Oh and please, I am no longer freaked about my growth as I just started trying to enhance it, so disregard that part of the thread...

Okay, so I know my hair has been growing fast, but this is just weird and scary. So I've been doing some changes to my diet, but I don't know what to say. Over a month ago I cut my bangs myself just above the tip of my nose to even them up a bit,so they aren't perfectly even. I am not the best cutter in the world. Also my hair does not grow out even. What's my point? well I'm using my bangs as an example, as it's the esiest way, and I haven't finished completely flatironing it. I still have one more pass and to try to get the edges, but I don't think I'm going to do it anyways. But I did completely flat iron my bangs, and I'm showing roots to demonstrate. I'm natural by the way, I just use certain products to get it really straight and shiny. so anyways. My bangs have grown, yes, but this is just odd. Okay so on the 19th of this month, I took a pic of my bangs, to use them as a start on my picture phone, so that my eyes weren't deceiving me. When I washed again five days later (Lots of sweat yuck!), I decided to press out my hair again. I use Sabino so I don't worry about heat damage. Anyways, look at the difference, are my eyes deceiving me? I know that I really changed my diet and did a few growth "tricks" so to speak. Meaning I changed eating patterns specifically for growth and health purposes, but dang! I don't know if it'll keep up but I'm happy. Pic A is where I started, day 1 and then here's day 5. I would not believe it if I did not see it. forgive my crazy hair, it's only half straight. I thought to myself, I'll just flat iron it a little, and my bangs, get them really straight, and then braid the rest up into an artful bun. I used my thumb as a guide so that you could see where the hair fell in reference to my lip.
I had to do the flat iron to show the growth as I am a natural and I have much shrinkage! I did this whole bang test because my hair has seemed to grow crazy lately. I did not want to measure because I just think that makes me mental, I'll get obsessed with it. I think when I do the righ things and leave it alone it grows. Excuse pic three, I moved some of my bangs to the side, and it's not all straightened. I know I look like a crazy woman. So is it just me, or am I over focusing on this. Where is this coming from? People eating lots of veggies, did you get a spurt? The first one on the 19th of Oct is barely touching the bottom of my top lip. The one today is touching the bottom of my lower. And I have full lips so I'm thinking over half an inch. I don't have anything to measure it except my fingers and my lips (the point of start and finish after five days)
