I've been measuring myhair for a while now and Im
sooo happy becuz last month after a teeny tiny trim i
felt so discouraged(b4 i discovered Emergencee)
becuz i didnt see a difference from the last month
when i measured,, suddenly i see what appears to
be a good half an inch,, maybe its all the msm ,,
protein and flaxseed ,, its nothing noticeable but to
meits great!!,, if i can keep this up then i should have
reached my goal of 19in by perhaps sept or oct next
year,, ive been usng emergencee on a weekly basis
now and my hair breaks eternally less,,, (jst about a
mth and a half ago i was sitting at the salon waiting
to get a couple of rows of extensions put in and just
decided to check my ends and I nearly cried becuz i
kept finding hair after hair after hair that had that little
90 degree break towards the end and thats when i
decided i needed a protein so i used Emergencee
and my ends really look healthy and THICK and the
breaks are few and far between!!)
Hair type: 3b some c?, fine strands, last relaxer sept 05, never again!!! current :ap length on sides,,nearly bsl in back, damn those old frazzled ends! I am hair OBSESSED

That is great improvement. I recently found a split end but I had used a blow dryer with a comb attachment which resulted in so many knots that the S and D was not going to work. So I trimmed them off the best of my ability and I was so upset and sad that it was a set back...BUT then I thought to myself that it will grow back. That was just a few weeks ago and guess what...it appears to be back to the same length. I just took my hair out of a protective style so maybe that was the power to my growth.

    Cmesweet,, thats exactly what happened to me
about the trim,, i trimmed then found in a month i
was at or had beat the previous lengtth!! isnt that
such a great feeling? ,, cuz its a relief,,,,,,,
anyway Gossipqueen,, Nexxus Emergencee is
whats called a polymeric reconstructor,, it also has
alot of protein,,it is used to strengthen and reinforce
the hair ,, after i use it each strand seems thicker
and even my ends look healthy,, i use it weekly but
that may be too much for some ppl ( i leave it in 10
mins with heat then rinse and SHAMPOO, then deep
con with MOISTURE),, also when i let it dry hard into
myhair i noticed more breaking that week tho it made
my hair reallly pretty,, that method obviously doesnt
work for me... but works great for some

I had this same experience.  My hair always grows in uneven!  I got like 2 and a half to 3 inches cut off but thankfully it appears to have grown back and then some.  I don't know why but the right side of my hair grows longer than the left.  It really bothers me.

@ cookie......I'm gonna have to try this emergencee stuff as soon as I use up some of my other protein products.
