Twists I like!

I finally styled my twists a way that I like so I don't feel the need to hide my hair under my hat!

Vitamin supplements

I've been taking my vitamin supplements daily, in the mornings. My lashes are longer to the point that I don't even need to use mascara now.

Here's the list of vitamins I take that are supposed to aid in hair growth:

Silica 500 mg

Biotin 1000 mcg

One A Day Women's Vitamin

MSM 1000 mg (sometimes I take 2 of these in one day, making 2000 mg)

I drink a lot of water so the breakout horror stories I've read about haven't happened to me, but I did get a couple of tiny bumps that were barely visible. I can definitely see how the crazy breakouts can happen but I think it's a temporary thing until your body gets all of the impurities out.

I've had my hair in two strand twists for the past two weeks but tonight I'm going to be cowashing my hair because it's been too long and my hair is begging me :-)

Prior to that, I did flat iron my hair (I felt like doing something a bit different), so I've included that photo as well.

Flat ironed

I have avoided the GHE for the past 5 days because I flat ironed my hair. I'm pleased to report it's shoulder length! Yes, I gave in and did a length check. I couldn't help myself. It rained yesterday so my hair is now an afro, so I'll be cowashing and doing two strand twists along with the GHE.

Brief Hair Update

Last night I simply sprayed water on my hair and applied the original Wild Growth Oil to my scalp and applied my GHE gear. My hair definitely seems to have less shrinkage and more curl definition.

Tonight I'm going to be applying my castor oil to seal my ends after putting on the leave in. Then I'll apply my WGO to my scalp even though the instructions say use 3x per week. I haven't seen any flakes or thin film like some claim to have gotten.

Wild Growth Oil Update!

I dropped by Sally Beauty Supply again and picked up the original Wild Growth oil so I have moisturized and sealed my hair with my new mixture (leave in, castor oil and both Wild Growth formulas after spraying with water) and I'm now wearing my GHE head gear.

I was expecting the original formula to smell way different, but other than the rose oil smell in the light formula they smell very similar. I'm liking the smell actually. Detangling was much faster and already I can feel my hair starting to tingle. Apparently I sweat very easily.

My twists are getting longer so I may have to start holding certain twists up with hair pins because I don't like my hair on my ears while I'm sleeping :-/

Well I'm calling it a night, just wanted to update the info on my search for the Wild Growth Oils.

My Experience With The Cayenne Pepper Scalp Scrub

Long story short... It was awesome. I love how my scalp felt after applying the scrub and washing it out. My only complaint is that it was sticky so I could have gone without the sugar. The smell was good because I mixed it with my conditioner.

Afterwards, I applied the wild growth light oil moisturizer and it made my hair so soft and manageable. Detangling was a breeze and I can't wait to mix it with the original formula. This morning after removing my GHE gear, my hair was shiny and even softer!

I think I've finally gained healthy hair!

Day 15 of GHE Self Challenge

I'm currently still wearing my GHE gear. I decided to do an all day deep condition/protein treatment (my deep conditioner contains protein and keratin) which I mixed with castor oil (of course). I've been wearing this since about 8 pm last night and my scalp is slightly burning but it's a pleasant feeling. No itching and a little tingling.

I've been terrible at keeping up with uploading my hair photos simply because I'm usually blogging from my phone and I use my Nikon to take photos of my hair for better quality images. Last night I was shocked at how much thicker and longer my twists have gotten, but I'm still fighting the urge to do a length check.

So far I've been successful keeping my fingers out of my hair and THAT is a huge plus for me. I'm not walking around constantly rubbing my hair. I imagine when I was doing that, I looked like a prude *lol*.

Tonight I'm going to do my cayenne/sugar scalp scrub just to ensure my deep conditioner doesn't leave build up and then I'm going to rinse thoroughly (and carefully) and moisturize and seal as usual. I'll reapply my GHE gear and then remove it in the morning. I think my hair is going to thank me for it.
