It's funny because so many people keep telling me that. It just seems like it's doing the average growth rate and retention to me. Thank you!
As far as your questions, no I do not take a topical growth aid. Not sure what that is though LOL. The only vitamins I take are those one a day Multi woman chewable vitamins but I honestly don't think it has any affect on the growth. Besides I only been taking them for 6 weeks.
Yup, I only been wearing wigs consistently since April when I did a nice 2 inch cut/trim. Before that I wasn't getting any retention at all. Under my wigs I have about 8 to 12 plaits. I leave them in for a month at a time. After a month I do a protein and deep moisture treatment. I do however wash more times after a fresh relaxer. I do it every week for a month after a fresh relaxer. My hair tends to need more protein after relaxers. But after that, my plaits stay in a month at a time until my next relaxer. That's it. Nothing special. Really, low, low regime.
Moisture and sealing, I guess I do it a lot more within 4 weeks of a fresh relaxer. After that, I do it once a week or whenever needed. I don't remove the plaits though, I just rub some oils down the plaits and a moisturizer on the ends only. It seems to work okay for me.
I truly truly believe with everything that I have tried throughout my journey that it's the protective styling 110% in wigs that is doing the retention for me.
Edit: I forgot to answer one question. I only use Nexxus products at the moment. So the shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, protein treatment are all Nexxus products except the moisturizer. It's Elasta QP Olive Oil and Mango Butter.
