Vitamins/Overall Progress Chart
Nov.: MSM, Biotin, Silica. Serious tangle and matting problem. First began new prod./daily washing.
~ I really discovered how much I love washing my hair. It’s a great way to start the day.
Dec.: HF37, MSM powder, Silica. Tangles all better. Massage and No-Measure/Journal Challenges.
~ Massage is the first part of my morning routine and the horn combs are great. I’ve also been trying to spend more time on my journaling. Sometimes I’ve done well and sometimes not. But it’s a great focus.
Jan. Goal: enzymes, PF, Biotin, FSO, EPO, MSM, Silica. Brush/horn comb routine. Doc. measure-ins and notes. (Note new meds: FS-15 mg.)
~ Well I didn’t actually take all those vitamins in Jan. But I did keep up the Biotin, FSO, and MSM. I ran low on Silica and didn’t take them as often. The Enzymes were difficult to remember b/c I kept them refrigerated. I did plan to start charting growth as well as targeting. Since curls have shrinkage I thot that I would keep a little separate focus for my long-term appearance goal.
Feb. Plan: HF37, PF, PD, Biotin, FSO, EPO, MSM, Silica. +½"? I don't wanna set too high.
~ I didn’t go back to the HF37 nor did I get the Garden of Life stuff either. I stuck with the MSM all month. I had run out of Silica and was very low on FSO so I was sparing with it. I ran out of Biotin completely around the middle of the month. The good news is I stuck with MSM every night as well as the Enzymes at least once a day. The best news of all is that I surpassed my goal of ½. I got a whole inch btw. Jan-Feb. and a ¾ btw. Feb.-Mar. so that’s better than I expected. I feel a need to get back to the Biotin tho’.
March Plan: I really think I would do well to get more Biotin, FSO, and Silica. The Biotin most especially as I feel rather lost without it. I have considered getting HF37 this month so I can begin that in April but I’m not sure if it’s feasible yet. I caught up with an MSM deal on a swap board so I won’t run out of that. The Biotin, FSO, and Silica should be about $20-25. The HF37 is $50/mo. and I’m still not sure if I can take on that expense. I think the key with HF37 is to be consistent and if I can’t do it every month I wonder if I should even start. But that’s something to consider.
Growth
As for charting I have made real progress this year. I got an inch a month to start with. Tho this month I only got ¾ and wondered if it’s b/c I ran out of Biotin mid-month in February, I really wasn’t expecting such a growth spurt and ¾ is still above the typical average so I’m content with that.
Jan. – 24” (BS)
Feb. – 25”
Mar. – 25¾”
I achieved an 1” a mo. and then ¾” this month. A good way to start the year I think.
