Wild Growth Hair Oil

Amie,
I do not know if you are into the braid thing or not, but if you want your hair to grow really fast, I would suggest braids. Check out www.growafrolong.com. I found it to be very informative. I also had braids put in, and they growed my hair very fast too. So check the website out, and continue to use your oil. How long have you been using the oil?

I have been using it for about a week. I washed my hair, but a little choslteral, hot oil treatment, and then but some wild growth hair oil on my scalp and hair ( I only use 10 drops because my hair is short) and some 911 leave in conditioner and my hair feels great this morning. I sleep in a satin scarf now. I have worn braids before letting my hair grow out and it worked, but then it just broke off again after taking them out. SO my beautican said I shouldn`t get my hair braided any more to just let it grow out. I think I am going to start using that Keracare shampoo, after my current bottle is gone. I have some new growth right now but it is because my last perm didn`t take to well. I will be able to tell after my next perm, how well the oil and gnc vitamins are working on my hair. But foe right now I am happy with the shine and softest of my hair.

Amie,
I guess you know why your hair is itching. If not, it is because of all the oils you are using. Wild growth hair oil can be used as a hot oil treatment as well; therefore, you can delete the other oil you are using. I do not need any conditioner on my hair. I apply the oil onto my damp hair after a wash, dry it, oil the scalp, and then style. Braids can be used to your advantage if they are cared for correctly. Make sure that the braider knows what he/she is doing. There are so many stylist who loves to braid, but do not take your natural hair into consideration when doing so. The only problem I had with my braids was my edges broke off. With a week of wild growth oil gently massaged into the temples, I could see new hair growing. So I will be going back to the salon very soon to get my hair braided again.

I found that if you oil your scalp before drying, the heat sucks the oil out and then you will have to re-oil the scalp. Therefore, I oil the hair before drying. Then the scalp after it is dry. My hair was shaved in the back May of last year. Now it is on my shoulders. I do curl my hair. Only once a week though unless there is a special occassion then I may need to bump it again. After I`ve washed and dried my hair, I tightly curl my hair with large barrel curling irons. Then I wrap the hair. Bumping with the barrels allows my hair to stay in a nice bouncy wrap/bob style for an entire week. I am committed to a no heat policy, except on wash days. As you know, too much heat can damage the hair. I think the main thing that has helped my hair to grow is changing the way I maintenanced my hair along with my wild growth hair oil. Now my hair is a priority. The beauty of my hair has allowed my self-esteem to become even greater. But even moreover, "The men love." I was walking into my office building this morning, and a gentlemen said to me, "Your hair is so beautiful. There is nothing like a black woman with long beautiful hair." I was so flattered.

Amie, I do not mind at all. We both are trying to acheive the same thing. I was in the same situation too. I did not take time out for me. One day, I just made up in my mind that I wanted long hair. I knew that I had to make changes within myself first. My inspiration comes from my co-workers, friends, family, and my partner. They all are puzzled and wondering what I am doing to my hair to make it grow in days. I do not tell all of them my secret(wild growth). I like to keep them guessing. One of my friends offered me money to tell her what I was doing to my hair. I went ahead and told her at no charge though. That is what keep me going and not get lazy every 3 days when it is time to oil my hair. Because some days I just do not feel like oiling my hair, but I oil it anyways. I only go to the beautician to get flat twist, braids, or if I want an updo. Other than that I do not let the stylist do anything to my hair that will cause it to be exposed to the air(wrap/bob). It is very much possible to achieve the same things at home that a stylist can do in the salon. For someone that does not get her ends clipped, my hair is growing rather evenly. You know if your hair is uneven and you are trying to wear a wrap or bob, it can look real shabby if it is not even. I guess I am just blessed that all of my hair is growing at one time and not by areas.

I think braids would be a good idea, but you would have to make sure you keep them clean and get them re-done often, so they will not damage and break off your hair. It is very much possible to get 3 inches of length by August. Get your braids and continue to use the oil. As far as clipping your ends go, this topic is very opinionated. Some benefit from it and some do not(I don`t).

Amie, when I had my hair shaved it the back, the top of it was bobbed, and it fell long to the chin. When the back started growing, I would use a small curling iron to flip the back, so it wouldn`t just hang and look messy. You`ve probably seen all the stars now that wear their hair flipped up. Well that is what I did to the shaved area. I continued to style and maintain the top as usual. Air dries out your hair. Especially during the winter time. And of course, when the hair gets dry, it breaks off. That is what I meant by not letting air get to your hair. Many people call this no contact hair styles(ex.buns and ponytails). I do not roll my hair either. I just curl it once a week, and it will last all week. Your hair is not too short to be measured. I take a strand of hair and tape it down to a hard surface and measure with a ruler. As far as braiding goes, it depends on the professionalism that the stylist has. You do not want anyone tugging and pulling on your hair. That is where a lot of people go wrong. They try to find the cheapest bargain, and someone who can give them a quick fix. Then they are mad and upset because their hair fell out. You should be very picky when finding a braider.

Ashley,
Of course any braids will cause some kind of breakage. It is up to you to make sure you take good care of the braids to minimize that breakage.
I wear microbraids. Like I said before, microbraids caused my edges to break off, but I used the wild growth on the temples and they grew back so fast. So I like never missed my edges. But, don`t get me wrong though, the rest of my hair grew like grass. So I do not let my consciousness get to me about my edges because I know that they will be back in a matter of time.

Girlfriend, please do not leave the braids in that long. If you didn`t get any breakage last time, you are bound to have some the next time. I would say keep them for 2 months at the most(I could never go that long). Going back into braids that fast will weaken your hair. It is best that you wait at least a month, and use your oil as a hot oil treatment. Then go back into the braids. If you are going to go back into braids as soon as you take them out, I would suggest that you use a leave in conditioner(spray) everyday on your braids and scalp.

Ok, that sounds reasonable.
