12 Inches In 12 Months - 2016

[Prettymetty]

I just washed babygirl's hair with Loreal smooth intense samples. I used the shampoo, preconditioner and conditioner. Once it airdries a bit I will attempt to straighten it. She probably won't sit still.

I will wash my hair in a minute, but it won't be dry until tonight.

Yesterday I shampooed with Giovanni Dandruff Shampoo (2% salicylic acid) and followed up with Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Shampoo. DCed with Joico Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm. I oiled and massaged my scalp with my EO blend and grape seed oil and LOC in two cornrows.

Ok so I'll officially start inverting at the top of the year.

I also came across a thread about the hair cocktail. It's basically an egg shake. I might consider this but I don't want to do too much. Trying to keep it simple

@NaturallyBri87 I've been drinking the hair cocktail since August last year. It's great for a quick healthy breakfast and I add most of my other vitamins to it also.

I straightened my hair today and it took 2 hours. I'm only bsb. I can't imagine how long it will take to straighten waist length hair...

I'm very excited! I have found hair vitamins that do not break me out!!!! Yay!!! They are Solgar Skin, Nails and Hair vitamins. It's got MSM 1000 mg as well as some other vitamins including copper and zinc. I believe the combination is what is making my skin not break out! So happy!
I'm on Day 6 of Inversions and have been massaging my oil mix of MN, sesame, castor, peppermint and rosemary oils! I need to be MBL at least by June!

Im prepooing right now so that I can co wash in an hour. Today i saw strains of hair without bulbs on the end so I think I have some breakage which scares me! My hair was doing so well now this. Hopefully it something I can easily fix.

Oiled and massaged scalp with JBCO...

 

[greenandchic]

This evening I cowashed with Trader Joe's Nourishing Spa Conditioner and did a short DC with L'Oreal Total Repair 5 Damaging Erasing Balm. I LOCed and sat under my cool dryer for a bit to knock most of the water out.

How do you like the damage erasing balm? I use it occasionally when my hair is overmoisturized

I plan on washing my hair today. I haven't washed it in about a week, but I have kept it in it's protective style. And every couple of days I M&S and massaged my scalp with WGHO.

When I took my hair down the other day to remove tangles my mom mentioned how long my hair was getting. I've noticed alittle growth too. I think I did get a inch this month; now I just have to retain it, lol.

@coconifah the way I uploaded was to choose "upload a file"here under my reply:
View attachment 345461
Then I choose from my photo library. The problem I have every time though is the file taking forever to load, so what I do is after 30 seconds I refresh the page and when I scroll down to my post, the file is already attached. Then I can choose insert thumbnail to put it where I want.

Ok gonna try because yes it was taking forever to load

I just massaged my scalp with liquid gold oil. It is tingling like crazy.

 

[xu93texas]

@Prettymetty

I love it! It's one of the one of the best DCs I've tried in recent years. I now try to pick up a tube whenever I see it at Marshall's.

 

[jesusislove1526]

I've been DCing weekly and putting my hair in 12-15 chunky twists. I leave those in until Friday for a twistout and wear that until Sunday or Monday when I do it all again.

I washed my hair yesterday using rhassoul clay and ACV. I also massaged my scalp with the clay. It felt soooooooo good

I am feeling really positive about obtaining 12 inches next yr .

All of the Marshall's in my area carries Joico. Sometimes they just have the conditioner but I am usually able to find it eventually.

What's your supp regimen?

 

[tianhu23]

I'm switching back and forth between mineral rich and bamboo supplements every month so that my body doesn't develop a tolerance and they stop working.what supps are you guys taking?kind of want a 3rd one just to be safe.

 

[morgandenae]

First day successfully drinking 96oz of water + my green smoothie ! Felt so hydrated and fresh all day hopefully faster hair growth and clearer skin will come along with it Will continue this for the next few weeks to allow my body to fully adjust before added any other liquids (protein shake, bamboo leaf tea)

Off that high note I need to up my hard protein in my regimen I am experiencing some breakage. I did a mild protein (Aphogee 2 Minute) last wash to get me over this hump but it wasn't enough still experiencing breakage. I do my next hard this weekend and will be doing it every other month for now on.

That is pretty my supplement regimen @tianhu23 except I take everything in high doses especially bamboo and msm. I could that increasing my msm provided greater thickness, less shedding, and more growth
