I did an hour of cardio so I won't invert tonight
I also moisturized my strands and finger detangled before I redid my braids.

You are so consistent. I need some of your energy. I haven't inverted at all this month

Thanks love. I really want some more length (BSL) by the end of the year. I have some thickness but the length is not where I want it to be yet, although, truthfully it has been growing faster since the inversions. I can't say I'm getting 2 inches a month like some others but it is definitely a little faster than before.You are so consistent. I need some of your energy. I haven't inverted at all this month
I'm tired tonight as well - long hours at work and all but I'm on a mission with this hair of mine
.Now as for you, try not to lapse too far behind. Rest up a bit, but get back to your regular hair routine. I need company woman!

You can get sample sizes of tgin. I am so glad I did. The poo and condish is ok, nothing to shout about. My hair HATES the leave-ins and butter moisturizer. It left a hard,crispy cast on my hair. Their deep condish is great though!

Washed my hair today, but noticed product sitting on top of my head.
So I will later repeat my wash using a clarifying shampoo first, to remove buildup.
See how my hair feels after if protein is needed.
Deep condition with heat, moisturize/seal, put chunky twists in for a week.
I plan to trim for lengthening day per Morocco Method on the 19th and flat iron for length check in.

Used Tgin products for the first time.
Clarifying first, shampoo Vo5 Strawberries n cream.
Followed up with Tgin Sulfate free shampoo, this mimics an clarifying poo how it suds up and gives an good clean. Yet leaves hair moisturized.
Will test next time I clarify to check this out.
I than used Replenishing conditioner, like the slip and ease of detangling from this.
Towel dried, added Green Tea Super moist leave in, and Twist & Define Cream.
Sealed in with vitamin E oil. Since it's late I put four braids in for braid out later. I may go and purchase the rest of this line. Liking how my hair feels

I haven't done inversions this month, but my vitamin game is strong. I have also been exclusively finger detangling. I'll do a length check and trim next month using the Morrocco method.

Ah, yes. I'll mark on my calendar to do a dusting on the 20th. The last one I did was probably in February or March.

Anyone else considering a trim this month, try out Morrocco method lengthening cycle
May 19-21.

I've been slacking. I need to make another batch of my growth oil tonight.

Per another LHCF member, yesterday I added cayenne pepper to my clay mix for some scalp stimulation. As I noted in another thread, I added less than 1 tablespoon to a 22 oz squeeze bottle. I did experience adequate tingling w/o burning. The tingling was delayed, but I felt it before I finished my entire head. I'm going to continue using cayenne this way.
I also began drinking Beautifully Bamboo tea this weekend thanks to this thread: https://www.longhaircareforum.com/threads/beautifully-bamboo-tea-your-thoughts.789805/. I will post results at my 15 and 30-day marks (i'm only measuring my crown which is 6" long now).

I totally slacked on the growth oil in general; I have a whole batch just sitting in the fridge.
I've found that I like to just infuse a water bottle with EO's and I'm much more faithful to using that up than I do with any oil and it's been working pretty well.
(I'm not suggesting anything btw, just sharing lol
)Wow, so I haven't posted in a month.
I've just been wigging it and being SERIOUSLY low-maintenance.
I'm washing and conditioning about twice a month now (which was previously unheard for me) but it's going fine, I'm retaining pretty well and I think I'm scraping SL now or at the very least bottom of the neck, but I guess we'll see in the next length check.
I'm washing tonight and DC'ing overnight which I typically would never do, but since I don't do much to it in the interim, I don't think it could hurt and I'll braid it back up for the next 10 days and update on Length Check-in.

Got hair flat ironed and trimmed yesterday. She took off about an inch.
Thinking about revisiting bunning throughout the week, since I retained much growth doing so.
My hair is same length from a year ago.
Believe this is due to many different styles.
They were cute but now they gotta go
Here's my results

I have fallen off the wagon - with everything from exercise to hair care to my diet.
I have been trying new products and washing my hair once a week which is a no no for me. The good news is since my unintentional trim my hair seems to be doing just fine.
My goal this week is to step up my exercise game so I think I am going to give my hair a good protein treatment and keep it in a bun. Next month I do want to try the inversion.

I plan on washing my hair today and inverting. I really need to exercise today too. My hair and skin look amazing when I work out regularly.

I have used sulfur oil twice this week and mn twice this week. Yesterday I finished my inversions for the month. Today I'm just going to massage my scalp for a few minutes and moisturize.

Mini twists make me look gawd awful! That was the worst protective style yet!
Tomorrow I am getting my curls back - I am going to henna, DC and make a leave in tea with horsetail, slippery elm, marshmallow and green tea as a leave in.
In June I am also switching my hair vitamins to Millie Organics - my current length is about 11 inches. But I think something is wrong with how I measure, when I pull my hair straight it touches the top of my bra and when I measure that from the back of my head that is like 13 inches. Perhaps I should just get the tee shirt.

Today is wash day so I thought it a good time to add my length check for June 1st:
I found three products that have helped made detangling a BREEZE and have helped made my hair texture extremely soft, supple and shiny (KJ Naturals Jamaican Jelly and Hair Milk and Siamese Twists Cupuacu Carrot Butter).
I can't tell if I've retained any length here, but I do think my hair has gotten thicker and overall more healthy. I think adding castor oil to my hair regimen has done wonders.
