I've been pretty consistent. I've missed a few days 2x/day, but I always do at least once a day. My next length check will be in March and I will have used the spray for 3 months. We'll see what happens.

I think every couple of days I'm gonna have to hit my scalp with something other than X21. My head is dry and itchy. I'm trying not to do the black girl head pat lol

I need to apply, but I'm doing a random deep condition right now. It was raining and my scalp was dry.

I'm not really a fan of products, but I wanna try this Lol. Do any of you using this currently have braids? I don't want it to loosen up my box braids as I'm not taking them down until April

did it help?
my scalp was dry and flaking so bad the last cpl weeks. For me I think it's the Xcel 21 shampoo. I henna and washed with an old standby yesterday. however I am out of my hairs first true love, Nioxin. ran out a month ago and got the Xcel shampoo. so the timing fits.
will pick up a large bottle of nioxin shampoo today.

I went to the dermatologist this week and she was really impressed with the thickness of my hair. My hair has been thinning out over the last year. 
I started taking an antibiotic to see if it would help (it did) and the Xcel has got my hair growing in places where my hair just doesn't grow or are problematic (temples, just below the crown).
Imma believer!

I alternate between the spray and the cream. I think that I can't just use X21, I have to use it in conjunction WITH something. My hair is a little thirst bucket.

It did, but I think I need to drink more water. I don't drink pop, and I haven't had any juice in a while. I just don't drink a lot of liquids in the winter.

Eek, my scalp is flaky. What do I do?

Have you tried exfoliating your scalp? You can use manual types (scrubs, shampoo brush etc) or a liquid enzyme one.

so I can't report much growth from the last 4 weeks. I don't think the cream is very effective for me and I used that for a cpl weeks. HOWEVER I can report a marked increase in thickness. I make twists or braids at night and they are getting fat from their previous scrawniness

@whosthatcurl ditto to scalp exfoliating.
Last night my scalp was itching me the entire overnight. I only use my spray M-F 1x a day and by Friday the itching is always the worse. Once Saturday morning hits (like right now) I place Komaza Pona all on my scalp and let it sit for about 1-2 hours. I can feel it moving about on my scalp (it's a liquid with decent viscosity) but it doesn't itch. It actually feels soothing.
Had it not been for this, I would have quit the netwurks when my scalp first flared up bad after just 4 weeks of use.

Darn, I didn't think of that. I have some scalp stuff from Silk Elements. I can use that.

Three weeks of shed wash day hair. My normal would be almost 2x the size.
The thing is, when i stopped using it, I didn't notice an increase in shedding either. It might be gradual though.
When I stopped in October to mid November, I had more shedding, but it didn't increase from not using netwurks, if that makes sense. It was the same from when I wasn't using it, then using it for a month, then stopping. So, essentially, the shedding stayed the same when I first started using it. The shedding decrease has been gradual and I think that's what is important.

@Saludable84,
That shed hair tells me what you got on your head is in great condition and is very, very healthy. I see no split hair ends and only 1 single strand knot. Wow! What is your regimen? Have you shared it yet in another thread?

Idk if there is a regimen thread. I'll need to find it. A lot of my wash day involves smoothing my hair down; that includes washing and applying DC. I only detangle after I let conditioner sit in my hair for roughly 30 minutes and that's about it. And when i apply leave in, I oversaturate my ends with my butters when sealing.

Ooh, do I have some new growth lol. I think this is gonna be my week off. I'm gonna be using the APB Cupachu in its place. I forgot to mention that I barely lose any hair since I've been using X21 and my seamless comb.

...and I comb my hair twice a day everyday.

I haven't been diligently applying, but I'm gonna try to get back on the wagon starting this week. I applied the cream to my scalp today.

I gotta cover my head. I applied the last for this week. I think my winning combo is the X21 and APB Cupachu moisturizer (I gotta find a shorter way to say this lol). The X21 goes on first, then the APB goes on after it. Even my new growth feels soft. Now I gotta figure out how often to exfoliate my scalp.
