Does diet and physical activity/massage really help your hair grow faster?
I can't believe there's not another thread like this! I think it would be fun to start a challenge where we modify what we eat/drink/supplement/exercise to have some anecdotal evidence once and for all! It's also a great place to collect mini-reviews of methods and vitamins out there for our other readers and lurkers.
Please join me?!
Challenge months: May 2015 to August 2015 (for now. Might extend it)
Challengers:

In your introductory post, follow this format.
Hair type: type 4C, fine to medium hair thickness (.05 to .1 mm), high porosity
Current length: different lengths all over, longest section at 4.5 inches
Current hair & scalp quality: split ends & some mid-shaft ends an inch from ends, very fine hair at the crown, sensitive scalp
Typical rate of growth and retention: Hair grows 1/4 inch per month and I don't retain anything after hair gets to 6 - 7 inches.
Goal by August: Growing 3/4" per month, trimming 1/4" per month or every other month. Longest section of hair will be atleast 7 inches long, crown will be thicker.
Diet & Activity goals: Higher intake of leafy greens, higher intake of PLANT-based protein (nuts, seeds, beans, whole grains), drink more water, more weight lifting, daily scalp massage, maybe inversion method
Current Supplements: Megafood Hair Skin Nails (3x a day), L-cysteine 500mg (3x a day), Cod Liver Oil (1 - 3 tsp a day), Vitamin D 1,000 IU (1.5 sprays per day)
Current Exercise: Aerial dance & yoga, 2x a week
Current Regimen: Weekly: search & destroy trimming, hot oil pre-poo, shampoo, protein treatment, leave-in
Give updates as needed!
