.25 of an inch on a good day

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

About 1/2-1" per month

i'm honestly not sure how much growth i get

i dont pay enough attention, i guess.

what have you been doing differently with your hair
that you think is contributing to this extra..
or more rapid growth?

 

[HoneyA]

Wow! I get 1/2 inch per month. I'd love to have 2 inches per month. What do you do to get that sort of growth?

MY HAIR SEEMS TO HAVE A MAJOR GROWTH SPURT AFTER A RELAXER/TRIM. I SAY ABOUT THE FIRST 2-3 WEEKS AFTER,....MAYBE BECAUSE THE TRIM GIVES IT A NEW START. OR MAYBE THE RELAXER CUZ WHEN I STRETCH RELAXERS MY HAIR SHEDS REALLY BAD AND KINDA SLOWS DOWN FROM GROWING.

i think a quarter to half an inch without using any growth aids (like topicals, pills, vits etc)... so i guess i'm average to slow when it comes to growing naturally...


what I dont get is when I see someone that I've known for a long time with short, brittle, damaged hair (but have NEVER seen their hair longer than maybe neck length... and thats on a good day) say that their hair grows at least 1 inch per month... come on now... that annoys me

Even if their hair grows at a better than average rate, if it's breaking off and they're not properly grooming it, they'll never show length or a healthy head of hair.

WELL, I'VE IMPROVED MY REGIMEN A WHOLE LOT IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS. THESE ARE THE THINGS I THINK HELP ME MOST:

1. GETTING THE PROPER MOISTURE/PROTIEN BALANCE.
2. GNC ULTRA NOURISHAIR VITAMINS, ONE A DAY MULTI, AND FLAX OIL DAILY!
3. 2-4OZ OF CARROT JUICE DAILY
4. RELAXERS EVERY 6 WEEKS TO PREVENT SHEDDING AND BREAKAGE. (POST RELAXER BREAKAGE=THINNER HAIR AND A BIGGER TRIM AT THE SALON!!)
5. LESS MANIPULATION. (ONLY COMBING TWICE A DAY AND I DON'T BRUSH MY HAIR ANYMORE)
6. DRINKING 2 LITERS OF WATER PER DAY
7. REMEMBERING TO WRAP MY HAIR WITH MY SATIN SCARF EVERY NIGHT B4 BED. (SOMETIMES I USE TO GET A LIL LAZY)
8. ORS MAYO (THIS STUFF MAKE MY HAIR GROW LIKE A WEED,..NO JOKE)
9. I USE IC HEAT PROTECTING SERUM WITH ALL HEAT STYING. THE ONLY TIME I USE HEAT NOW IS WHEN I FLAT IRON, I DONT USE CURLERS OR BLOW-DRYERS.
10. KEEPING MY SCALP CLEAN AND FREE OF BUILD-UP BY CLARIFYING.
11. MOST IMPORTANTLY, I NO LONGER SELF-RELAX!! I GO TO THE STYLIST FOR ALL RELAXERS AND TRIMS NO MATTER WHAT!

HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE

[TLC1020]

I never measured but I believe my hair grows 1/4" per month..

 

[The Girl]

About 1/2-1" per month

yeah that is me too. I would be a hot mess if I got 2" a month. Posting pics everywhere!

 

[meaganita]

I think I get about 1/3" per month or less.
