grow...Don't cut me! I will throw all the scissors out right now!
Oh I didn't do a hard flat iron, I was nervous the whole time because I didn't want any type of heat damage to set me back! I think I will start just doing length checks bu blow drying until I'm comfortable with using serious heat. I will post more pics of my style tomorrow .
QueenFee, giiiiiirrrlll, i fell off the couch when i saw these pics!!!

YOU MADE IT!!!!!
you know you gotta post these or the link or somethin in the BSL thread!
you are officially OVER THE HUMP!!!!!
when i first got here, they told me, the length is measured by the longest layer, and your longest layer has PASSED your bra strap already!
honey, you need to start considering yourself to be in MBL territory now!
i agree with the "do not cut" idea. let those ends just do their thang.
that's my philosophy, too. there's always time to trim, but it's nicer to trim once the growth has already been secured.
get yourself on the MBL thread because you are only a sneeze from it now!
p.s. your ends DO NOT LOOK LIKE CRAP!
lillylovely, sweets i have never tried hot sauce on my scalp. (not to say that i wouldn't try it since i HAVE used products made for horses (MTG, MT) and feminine personal parts' products (MN) on my scalp before!
...i try to keep an open mind, lol!)
what i do with the hot peppers is put them in a jar with evoo and cook them like a crockpot. (i believe i have more details in the blog i wrote about the oils in my profile)
so i use the oil from the hot peppers and yes, it is hot on my scalp, but it does not burn at all.
the fact that it's so hot is why it's so benificial to us because it revs up the circulation sending lots of fresh blood and all to our hair follicles and this translates into growth!
that's how my hair "grew down to my boobies" (i love the way you put that!
) and although it's just the ends that are at my boobies right now, i'm sure that practice will take them further down, as well.
it's really easy to do and to make, so let us know if you try it. it works!
janda, ONLY an inch left?! honey, your hair has SPROUTED OUT!!!!
to what do you attribute this incredibly fast growth the most? (the 1 thing) thank you for your kind words and for checking out my pitchas on the BSL thread! i've done alot of different things to get growth, but if i had to put it all in one word, i'd say AYURVEDA!
never had hair past SL till i tried it!
jessicabarnes013, YOU CAN DO IT!!!
one thing i think we're all learning is that consistency is key, so stick with it and YOU WILL get results!
Lita, thank you for your kind words! so given that you agree that our grows at different paces on our heads, which is your longest layer (where) and shortest layer? i'm hoping to grow the hair in my front long like yours!
lushcoils, what an excellent progress report that your crown is getting thicker!
especially because that's one of the toughest areas for us! what do you believe did it for you?
thank you,
sweetpeadee!!! i'm soooo happy the garlic is working out for you!!! i take the supplements, too and agree that it really makes a difference! i'm also happy to see you are sticking with your MT and sulfur. i know they can be drying, as you've noticed, as well. getting moisture treatments and drinking lots of water will surely help! i also have tried spritzing my hair with rose water (organic, not the stuff with chemicals), aloe vera juice and evoo (which penetrates the hair shaft)....many times i'll add jbco for extra softness.
i just did a henna treatment, too! (yesterday) i did it with indigo. when did you do yours? how did it turn out? (i would comment on mine, but i still have dc on since last night when i finished so i have yet to see my hair dry)
HHJ ladies and keep up all this progress!
This year is the first time i've ever really tracked my growth. I'm so excited and motivated since i've actually gained and retained an inch. I really have no rhyme or reason to my regimen...ialways have my reggie written out to a tee--but then iNEVER stick to it. This month, iknow i used my sulfur mix 3x a week for like a week--then my hair got too thick. Then i co-washed everyday for about a week--but then my hair got too dry. Then i bunned for about a week and igot ssk...and then i did a rollerset and didn't really comb it for a week--and got dreads! lol...So today i washed, dc, and flat ironed. I'm going to try to keep this flat ironed hair for 2 weeks, very low maintenance--buns/hair sticks. I wanna get my hair strong and healthy b/c i want to get a sew in as a protective style next month.
erplexed ...ok great?? they just don't get it... lol. Anyways... I HEART LHCF. 
:bouncegre:trampolin
..we've got some serious growth goin' on in here!
..heck, i LOOK for your avi JUST to drool over those luscious, perfectly even, straight ends!
. But here's what I've been doing:
, but I only had it in for 4 hours! I used yogurt and honey in my mix (hair felt okay) then DC'd. It wasn't until after I DC'd that my hair felt dry!!! And my chop-happy side was about to go crazy:axehunter: But I calmed down and assessed
Where do you get your rose water and aloe vera juice???
