I'd like to join this challenge. I started taking Haifinity several years ago and have been off and off depending on what my budget permitted but I have been faithfully taking my Hairfinity for the past 5 + months. I have also been taking other vitamins as well.
Morning:
MSM (powdered in 4-6oz orange juice... it tastes rather bitter)
Biotin (started off with 5,000mcg for approximately 3 weeks then increased it to 10,000)
B Complex (1 serving when I was taking 5,000mcg Biotin then 2 servings when I increased to 10,000 mcg Biotin however I am back down to 1 serving simply because it's one less pill that I have to take)
Viviscal (Just started these about 3-4 days ago)
Evening:
Hairfinity
Folic acid
Viviscal
With the exception of the Viviscal and folic acid, this has been my vitamin regimine since the last couple of weeks in July 2012. At some point I was taking Silica and collagen but I stopped once I ran out because I was too lazy to buy some more. I know it seems like a lot but I accidentally ordered the Viviscal from Amazon (it was in my online cart for months and when I placed the order for the folic acid, I clicked to purchase all the items in my cart...smh). Since I have the Viviscal, I shall use them...
I drink an absurd amount of water and I oil my scalp with either JBCO or some other oil that I bought. I have a leave-in that I mixed up that I saturate my braids with and when I wash my hair, I do an ACV rinse before I wash. When I take down my hair,I have little to no residue form the oil or moisturizers that I used during the time I had my sew-in installed.
I have noticed my hair has grown considerably since the end if July when I got a sew-in by Reneice (she is dabomb.com) but I have not measured the length. I have not been able to make it back to Reneice since the July but I have been able to keep my hair braided up under sew-ins. I take them out every 6-8 weeks and I do an Aphogee Protein treatment, DC, leave my hair out for a few days then braid it back up.
The last time I had taken my hair out, my mom was just staring and she told me that she is amazed at how much it has grown and how much thicker it has gotten.
I wrote out a schedule for protective styles for 2014, it may sound stupid but I will commit to it if I have it written and planned out on my calendar, otherwise I will do something stupid just because I see a little bit of growth. I need to stop messing with my hair (coloring, straightening etc...), according to my hair goal when I first began my healthy hair journey (2006), I should be long past tailbone length by now.... Anyway, enough of my tangents, I will take pics and post them when I take my hair out of this sew in on the 28th. I expect the biggest reason for growth this year will be my vitamins, protective styles, moisturizing/oiling scalp/hair, and a lot of prayer and patience....
