I have decided to let my hair grow out and I just started to use that wild growth hair oil. I love how it makes my hair feel especially when I sleep in my satain scarf at night. But can get really grease if you put to much on. My hair is about 2 inches above my ear because I just cut it all off again. I have never had shoulder length hair, but that is my long to have my hair grow at least to my shoulder, because I have never let it grow beyond the middle of my neck. Does any one have any tips on growing short hair out. I am also taking gnc ultra nourishair, but they are really to big to swallow, I have to cut them in half.

I hope this can be of help. This is a lucky time for you because you can definately grow your hair past your shoulders with the products that they have available now.
I`m going to give you the advise that I used and that my clients used. After using this system for about 5 years my clients have hair to the middle of their backs and they have relaxed African American hair.
1. Shampoo your hair at least once a week, but perferrably 3 times a week. Believe it or not every day is best.
2. Use a botanically based shampoo, conditioner, and cuticle sealer every time you shampoo and condition your hair. I recommend Biosynthesis system. Biosynthesis.com I`ve seen it work. It is great because it has amino acids, proteins, and moisturizers. If not Biosynthesis, use a botanical producut because they grow your hair faster.
3. DON`T SLEEP ON COTTON SHEETS! This is most important. Cotton sheets are like velcro to your hair. Make sure your hair is touching satin and silk!
4. Take a hair vitamin supplement. It`s best if you take one that has a good amount of Biotin in it.
5. Have your ends trimmed every other relaxer touch up with SHARP JAPANESE SHEARS. You want it every other because it will accumlate length faster. You want Japenese shears because you trims will last longer.
6. Have a positive attitude and relax. Stress can create a chemical in your body that is very damaging to your hair
7. No permenent color and relaxer.
There may be a few more things but those are the most important things. Your hair is growing right now. Once you arrest breakage you will see your length accumulating.

Our hair loves moisturizers. If you can remember when curls were in just about everyone had a good length of hair. I am also growing out my hair. At night I use a curl moisturizing spray that I spray into my scalp. The "Wild Grow" oil I put onto my brush and a reconstruct spray. The curl spray has really helped to keep my hair from breaking, the wild grow has help to make it fuller looking and the reconstruct spray helps to seal the moisture into the hair shaft. I hate to say it but it honestly just takes a little time, so hang in there, and eat healthy.
