Thanks Azalia and Adrienne,
I've been doing the castor oil thing on and off for a month. But I'm not consistent with it. The brand is The Palma Christi Castor Oil. Ingredients is just pure cold pressed castor oil. It cost like $3 for 4 fl oz which'll last me forever.
I'll continue with the vit e thing and see how it goes and I'll try to be more consistant!
Azalia, I get approx 1 inch a month ish. I don't really measure so I can't tell. I did get a trim of a good 1/2 inch in December and I'm getting a touch up later this month so it'll be interesting to see if there's a change or not. My growth slows down though in winter so there probably won't be much of a change, esp. with the trim too.
My regime is to usually wash and condition every 3/4 days. Although recently I've been exercising alot and do COwashes after a session, run Kiehls silk groom through and pin it up and air dry. Its just easiest since the next day I'll exercise anyway and have to re-wash it. I try and do a pre-oil treatment before I wash, putting olive oil on dry hair ends, pinning it up then exercising or just pre oiling then after say 30 mins or so, shampooing and conditioning as normal.
Vitamin wise: Approx 2,000 MSM powder daily mixed in my morning OJ, 1,000 B5, 4,000 biotin. 1 tablespoon of flaxseed oil per day.
The only advice I would give is to keep your hair ends moisturized every day. That'll allow you to retain length without getting too many split ends. That and pre oil treatments. I also like adding olive oil to conditioners sometimes. A nice tip to boost moisture in the hair when washing. Hope this helps? /images/graemlins/grin.gif
