12 Inches In 12 Months - 2016

[Prettymetty]

Wednesday I rinsed my hair blue black and did a Garnier color mask

Yesterday I massaged my scalp with liquid gold oil

Today I massaged my scalp with mn/peppermint oil and wore a baggy

 

[Caramel74]

Nice hair! You're exactly where I want to be, APL in the front and MBL in the back.

Me too, MBL is my goal.

 

[Caramel74]

I'll be cutting several inches off today to start fresh, so I can start with one length.......around jawline length.
I'll post the pic later today after I do it

One length hair grows stronger, thicker, and faster. Cutting my hair all one length was the best thing I did for my hair, layers just made my hair look damaged.

I agree. My retention is excellent when my ends are blunt. There is strength in numbers so fir me thick ends means less breakage.

Finished my hair. I have my hair twisted and DCing. I will then let it air dry for a possible twistout tomorrow. I went ahead and did a protein treatment using Millcreek Biotin Conditioner. My curls were sooo tight after using protein.

ETA: I massaged my scalp today while I was finger detangling my hair

Definitely!

My current length: TWA
Goal length: APL unstretched

Ill be back with a regimen once I figure out what Im using.

 

[sky035]

I currently have a TWA and will post a pic as soon.

 

[Kells]

No it wont let me upload them. Im doing this from my iphone could that be the problem?

I wouldn't think so, but honestly I don't know.
PeloHello suggested resizing the photo, but if the 'upload a file' button isn't working for you, I guess that wouldn't make a difference.
Can anyone else chime in and with a suggestion for coconifah for uploads from an iPhone?

Already!
I feel much more confident with retention now that it's one length and it's much easier to detangle too.
You're not lyin about the layers and damaged looking hair; I'm so glad they're gone now lol

Clarified and did a protein treatment today.
Getting ready to two-strand flat twist and put my hair away for a week, then oil and massage.
Took the last of a supplement I was taking and just got a new one today, Biotin 10K mcg.

 

[tallowah]

May I join ?
Will decide on the "Hows" and take a photo.
I really belive I/We can do this.
My hair is apprx CBL. It grows but I need to baby ends.
From reading some of your replys I can see my hair totally dislikes twists,of any fashion.
Excited

Just completed my first full week of inversions in .... FAHeva. Also went to the gym twice. My goal this week is to up it to 3 times.

It's definitely babysteps for me if I'm wanting to make permanent changes.

@coconifah the way I uploaded was to choose "upload a file"here under my reply:

Then I choose from my photo library. The problem I have every time though is the file taking forever to load, so what I do is after 30 seconds I refresh the page and when I scroll down to my post, the file is already attached. Then I can choose insert thumbnail to put it where I want.

 

[jesusislove1526]

Clarify, cowash, and DC this evening. I did the LCO method after that with my wet hair, KCKT, and grapeseed oil mix. I'm still trying to decide what I want to do with my hair now, because it's still under the plastic cap that I put on after the LCO.

 

[Loveygram]

Finally checking in...
My length at present ranges from 1 to 7 inches depending where you look.
All last summer I wore daily wash and fro's. What I can twist up is now kept safely under a slap.
All I know is this was the biggest hair loss I've ever experienced and I want as much back as I can get. So far patches have already started to fill in so anything is possible.

new pictures to come hopefully

Reggie;
weekly washes mostly water but occasional co washes, clay or vinegar. Shampoo several times a year(coming soon) I just went back to water washing this year because of the heavy loss.
daily massages, moisturizing and oiling if needed.
daily vitamins, minerals and prayer !
monthly inversions- first completed last week

BTW I turned 65 this year and I don't know if it's possible to regain it all but I'm willing to try.

Today hair is moisturized with water, oiled with grape seed oil, twisted and feeling fabulous.

After reading this article ( http://www.livestrong.com/article/288179-the-benefits-of-green-tea-to-hair-growth/), I think I'm going to add green tea to my weekly regimen as a spritz right before I apply leave-in and gel.

Yes you can join, and anyone else watching from the sidelines, you can jump in anytime.

Washed my hair yesterday. I have my hair in a PS, that I plan to wear till Friday; unless I do my midweek rinse.

EDIT: I also applied some WGHO and massaged my scalp

 

[LexiDior]

Just washed my hair and now im DCing. Afterwards I will put in my leave-in and my mix of oil and aloe vera juice.

Washing my TWA is so much nicer than having to wash APL hair. I miss it but this is really nice.

 

[xu93texas]

I want to join! starting pic is my avatar.

Current length: SL
Goal length: APL or longer
Plans to reach my goal: PS 99% of the time; only flat iron for length checks and Thanksgiving 2016( yeah, only time I'm around all of my family so I'm going to show out!); GHE; inversion; continue taking various hair supplements:Manetabolism, MSM powder, Neocell collagen, and bamboo tea; exercise 3-4 times per week, increase my water intake, and improve my diet.

 

[YesToHair!]

Scalp oiled and massaged with Paltas
D3 inversion done
Manetabolism + 5 MG Biotin taken with 1L water
Protein shake taken
Now going for a brisk walk...

 

[Prettymetty]

I just washed my hair with Cream of Nature detangling shampoo. Now I'm under the dryer with Kerastase Maskeratine. I'm so excited about straightening my hair later today.

 

[Prettymetty]

I lightly flatironed my hair last night (one pass on 300 degrees) and did a lunar trim. Now I'm back on the grow. I massaged in some liquid gold oil earlier. Now that my hair is straight I will only be applying liquid gold once or twice per week.

 

[greenandchic]

I'm in! Though I'm a slow grower, I feel I will at least break "average" implementing the suggestions. I'm just below BSL though I will post a photo in the next week or two.
