Njoy girl, your hair growing fast!!! Congrats!!! Girl pray tell what you're using?
I've been on these Nioxin vitamins, they alright--it haven't been long enough to tell.
My reggie is in my blog. I don't think I mentioned that I'm also taking supplement (I'll add that later). Biotin, MSM, HSN-W, Prenatal vite, Fish Oil, Co Q10 and sometimes Chlorella (spirulina gave me a rash so I cut back on Chlorella...just in case)
I stand by the fact that I seem to be able to feel growth spurts. Who really knows? lol.
Residual conditioner on the scalp? I don't know. I try to keep the conditioner on the hair and just massage my scalp to clean it. I do use a homemade sulfur-based concoction that may be stimulating the follicles but, I think it cleans up the scalp more than anything else. If there's a build up of product, then the tightness and itching must be the hair pushing through. It sure isn't stopping growth so *shrugs*
I think if you have itchiness (and I know what you mean by it not really being a strong itchiness) then why not use a little oil (like jbco) and massage your scalp. If there is any dryness, that will deal with that and also loosen your scalp for growth. Ah well. That's JMO but, it's what I do. It's why I couldn't wait to do a mid-month visual check, to see if I got another spurt. *shrugs* HHG, girl.
