Re: why is it that professionals say we can't speed up growth - BUT WE'RE DOING JUST
I think the "professionals" are correct...you can't speed up growth...HOWEVER if you aren't at your optimium level of growth any increase in growth that you do see based on growth aids or supplements or what have you, may appear to be increased growth, but is actually just you finally reaching or getting close to YOUR OWN personal growth rate.
As for me, I am getting there... So far I am at a solid 1/2 inch per month and this is due to supplements, exercise, hair care to retain my ends and increased water intake. I have recently noticed that my NG grew out even more than before from my last touch up... so perhaps my body is responding to my consistency with my vitamins, exercise, water, proper hair care routine by sprouting more hair. I think my body was like, "ohh, ur deciding to take care of me now... okay, ur exercising now and taking supplements...guess i will make some more hair for you since you may need it from all that exercising and movement you are doing"... (hair is there to protect our heads and keep us warm)
I know it sounds crazy...but makes sense to me.
