Hey everyone! Sorry 4 not updating for so long, but here I am now. As I think I mentioned before, I'm 15 yrs. old, and I recently was going through transitioning from relaxed to natural. Well, since I had 5 months of new growth and my hair was impossible to comb, I decided to get my hair relaxed yet again, and I'm SO happy that I did. My hair is shinier, longer, and stronger. Well, after I got my relaxer, I went to the beauty supply store to buy Wild Growth Oil. Have any of you tried this? It's REALLY, REALLY good! My hair seems like it's growing rapidly. My hair is a little bit below the shoulder, so I'm getting to my length goal pretty quickly (my goal is bra strap length). All you do is put the oil (only a few drops) in the palm of your hand and run it through your hair and scalp. The testimonials on the site are amazing! Some people notice growth in a few days of use. Plus, it's not greasy and you only need to use it 1-3 times per week. The only bad thing about it is that it smells! It smells sort of like castor oil - yuk, but it does the job and the smell wears off quickly. Well, that's it for now. By the way, honeydoo, exotic allure is a vitamin that promotes hair growth amongst African Americans. Go to www.exoticallure.com for more info.

You know, I don't know what Exotic Allure is either. I've heard of it but have never asked what it is. Does anyone know?

I'll have a regimen to post sometime this weekend, but can anyone tell me what "Exotic Allure" is. I already have Biotin and a multivitamin.

I want to join as well, I don't have a regimen until now but planning to have one soon.

My hair is above bra line and I am planning to make it grow to elbow length.

Tomorrow I am going to wash my Hair using Karestase shampoo which I have been using for about one year and then will apply deep conditoning and leave it for about half an hour or so. Then will see what to do from there.. will keep you updated

 I want to join the Grow Out Challenge. I've just recently decided to transiton from relaxed to natural hair. When My relaxer has grown out, I intend on using a wash and wear relaxer (texturizer). My hair is shoulder length and relaxed now. Hopefully within a year my natural hair will be just above that. Pray for me!

I think I want to join the grow out challenge. I am working on an online album and it will hopefully be up by the end of the week. To track my progress online. I don't have a regemin worked out really, but I have started to wash my hair on sundays and allow it to air dry. Sometimes I twist or braid my hair while its almost dry, but lately have just been putting it in a bun. I use tea tree oil on my scalp b/c it gets dry easily. I do the baggie method and usually keep that on with a satin bonnet on my head. Its easy for me to do b/c I stay at home with my son during the week. Wednesday I wash my hair in the morning, airdry, then flat iron.

The products I am currently using are Nexxus Therappe, Nexxus Humectress orCreme of Nature shampoo and conditioner Once a week using Aphogee  Intense Keratin Reconstructor. I put Gensing Miracle wonder 8 oil in my hair, with elasta Q P recovery oil moisturizer to let it dry, or the recipe that is posted on the homemade recipe board.(don't quite know what to call it) I use a mixture of olive oil mixed in my hands with elasta qp mango butter on my ends when I do the baggie method. When I flat Iron I use Ion anti-frizz solutions heat Protection Thats about it. I'm trying to use a protein treatment, but haven't really ever tried any so I bought a few small packs from Sally's this weekend, to try some different brands out.

Lemme know if thers anything you think I should try! Thanks!

Missfro, OF COURSE you can join! You don't necessarily need a regimen. My sister has never had one and her hair is growing like a weed. You can join anytime.
