If it's very curly and you started short, you have an incredible hair growth rate there!

I also rinse daily which has helped my hair significantly.

Rapunzel
I have changed my lifestyle completely. In February 2002, I was overweight, I just started swimming, once a week. In July I hired a personal trainer and I started exercising on a regular basis, I changed my eating habits, I eat mostly vegetables, proteins and little carbohydrates, I drink more water, and hot water with lemon, and I find the lemon helps to flush my system out. I also started taking in December 2001, Hair Formula 37, which I found was very good, then I added vitamin E, cod-liver oil, flaxseed oil, evening primrose, biotin and a low dosage well women multivitamin, MSM and pantothenic acid. Plus, I do conditioning washes daily, and I rinse with glycerine/rosewater and Infusium 23. I think that helps, but the problem with me. I have problems keeping up with those regimes, but I am going to try. I do hope Rapunzel, that you can keep me motivated.

Thanks Ladies
Don't think, I don't love eating chocolate, I do, I also love ginger beer and other fizzy drinks, I drink them and have lots of water. The last time, my hair grew well, was when I went natural and I was able to grew to shoulder length. I drink seaweed tea and I again eat lots of vegetables, I did this for three months. Again, I got fed up and went back to perming. I got thicker hair already, but I lost the will. This website is great, at least I have you Ladies to help. Grin

High_Priestess Amethyst Offline Posts: 10 Gender:	Re: Introductions Reply #8 - Feb 26^th, 2003 at 11:39pm HEllo, I'm new. I was wondering what type of rinse you used to grow your hair 10" in 1 year. I'm a natural 3a/b and my transition from a perm is complete. I find my rate of growth faster too without the perms. lol Oh! P.S. Please forgive. Could you tell me what culture is Afro-Guyanese. (I'm Mestizo)

Guyana is a country in South America, and a lot of people went there from places such as India and Africa. Afro-Guyanese are descendants from the Africans who first settled there.

Thanks, I thought it was of African descent. I've heard of Guyana but I guess the "Guyanese" part threw me.
