I have tired MN, MTG, may own MTG mixture, biotin, MSM, etc., but nothing I have tired has seemed to increase my growth rate.

My hair has been able to retain length and my current length, APL, is the longest my hair has ever been.

I was just wondering if other ladies have tried numerous growth aids that don't seem to have any effect on their growth.
 
Re: Growth aid don't work for me

WGO, MTG, BIOTIN, MSM, MN, they have all contributed to my hair health and increased my hair growth rate in some way or another.
 
Re: Growth aid don't work for me

I'm sorry they haven't worked for you. How long have you tired using each one? I have been using MN and Indian Oils and have seen growth. What did you mix your MN with?
 
Re: Growth aid don't work for me

I have gotten good growth from BT, MN, essential oils and vitamins. See my siggy for the vits.

HTH!
 
Growth aids dont work for me either and I think I have tried just about all of them. I normally give growth aids about 4 months (give or take) to show & improve, and I never seem to have any great results from them. I have given up on the growth aid thing. Now I just concentrate on being consistent with my current regimen and products which will allow to maintain my reg. growth rate.

Sorry they didn't work for you. I used MN mixed with other things, and it worked, proof is in my siggy.

No growth aids have really worked for me either. The only thing I actually think normalized my hair growth was scalp massages.
 
Unfortunately, everything does not always work the same for one as it may for another. Your hair is always growing however so the key is maintaining your length in order to see the growth results. I didn't receive any results from growth aids either until I went ayurvedic. Have you this tried route?
 
I agree with Redd Tweety, everything does not work for everyone.. I personally am using Redd Tweety's gro-aut oil, and I am on my third bottle, with excellent resuts.. all ayurvedic.:grin: I absolutely love it.!

I usually try using them everyday or every other day for a two/three months.

I mixed my MN with Sulfur 8 at first and then started using it straight from the tube. This is the lastest growth aid that I have tried and I have been using it for about a month now and I don't see a difference.

I just picked up some Ayurvedic Indian products and I am going to start incorporating them into my regimen after my MN trail period.

Hey Growinglong777,
Can you tell me more about this product? Do you have a picture of the product and where did you get it from?
 
Hey, they are all Indian oils and a mixture of some other goodies like biotin, MSM.. I use it daily on my scalp for a massage. I purchased it from www.myfasthairgrowth.com It is made by a member on the forum.. ReedTweety. It makes my new growth soft, hair shiny.. and it doesn't make my hair shed.. It is giving me really good growth.

I am actually on my third bottle. I had approximately 1 1/2 inches. My stylist just relaxed me at 5 weeks.. and I was having a fit in her chair. I had so much new growth and I didn't tell her what I am using.. so in order to stop my hair from breaking and I was going to some formal functions, . I let her relax me.. My normal relaxer schedules are 8-12 weeks, but with this gro aut-oil, I relaxed the time before this at 7 weeks. I have probably been using it since the middle or end of Octboer 2007. In order to continue to use this oil, I am going to have to avoid my stylist for about 8-10 weeks so I can really stretch. I don't like getting relaxers to often, but I also love the growth.

P.S. I also eat a lot of protein, fresh fruit, fresh veggies, and raw nuts and seeds ladies because I work out.. so it could be a combination of the both.:rolleyes:

I also forgot I gave a little to my niece who used it to fill in some sparse areas in her temple areas, and they filled it in so nicely, she ordered her own bottle and joined the LHCF board.:grin:
 
i dont know what it was but after taking my combo of vitamins my hair seemed to grow faster. i went from my longest layer a little past shoulder to an inch from bsl in about 8-9 months my hair never grew so fast or long before but i wonder if that was always how fast my growth was and i just did a poor job in taking care of it.

I've definitely seen more consistent and thicker growth with the following:

- daily multivitamin (Whole Foods 365 Everyday Value Adult Multi for Women)
- nightly 1 minute scalp massages with a homemade scalp tonic (1/4 cup of water, 10 drops of rosemary, 10 drops of peppermint, 10 drops of bergamot, and 6 drops of glycerin)

I'll be 4 weeks post this Saturday, and I definitely already have half an inch of new growth.

I tried MN and it didn't do anything for me. I also can't take globs of biotin because it interferes with my monthly cycle.
 
I can't say whether they work or not for me. I really don't make the time to be consistent with them and end up slacking off using them. There are several ladies on this forum that have had amazing results without them. I just decided they weren't worth the time and effort personally and chose to let nature take its course.

Does the gro aut oil work on highlighed/color treated hair. Right now I'm using WGO and I'm not seeing any significant results - I've been using for about a month now.

I did not get any growth with WGO or MTG. I have to be honest and say I didn't get increased growth rates until I started using BT. I'm going to add the Aut-Gro Oil soon. As a matter of fact, I'm getting ready to splurge on nothing but oils, oils, oils. I have simplified my regimen and now I know I don't need all those conditioners, shampoo's, and what not to have/maintain healthy hair. ( I had lost my job at the time and couldn't afford to splurge anymore:lachen:) but I did realize I didn't need all those products but I am splurging on oils though:yep:

Hey NYLegalNewbie...your scalp tonic seems interesting....my scalp does not really like oils so I might give this a try one day! I am using MN and I have seen results, but I would like to try something new just to have options...

Since you are using water as the base are you spritzing this tonic on your scalp and then massaging it in? If not, how do you apply it?

Are you just using the oils? or Are you using the shampoo's and conditioner also?:grin:
 
I don't currently used growth aids, but I will say that when I did cleansing out my system first made a big difference. Before then I don't notice any benefits. There is an old thread (either here or elsewhere) in which the posters talks about how after doing a liver flush (squeezed lemon with 2 tablespoons olive oil) for a few days they noticed that their skin was better and all their vitamins which previously didn't work had started working. That has been my personal experience as well, though I don't imagine it will be the case for everyone.

If you google "liver flush" you should find additional information. Some recipies consist of apple cider instead of lemon juice. I prefer the lemon/olive oil.
 
This forum is chock full of info. I am going to try this grouout for my daughter she needs so much help right now. I am upset about her hair condition MTG brought her hair back but she keeps getting long moments of alopeica outbreaks and she is almost completely without hair - not bald but just nothing to help her maintain her natural beauty. So here I am trying to try something else for my daughter. I'll be ordering in a few days I wish it was today but a sister is not with funds for a few days.
