Rapid hair growth

The only thing I have been doing to my hair is cowashing it daily and applying a shea butter pomade followed by kinky curly knot today and kinky curly curling custard. I am amazed at how fast it has grown since my bc on June 12. I just wanted to share my results so far.

omg, wow im happy for you (and slightly envious lol) your hair is gaw-gus!!!! i must admit, my hair has grown quite a bit as well, since my bc on april 26. yay us!!! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] what do you cowash with? and how do you like the kinky curly? ive heard mixed reviews on it.

and i love your avatar, did you do that with rubber bands?

lol thanks. i cowash with hello hydration, giovanni triple treat, or suave almond and shea butter. They all work well. As far as kinky curly line, i LOVEEEE it, mixed chicks leave in also gives great results.

as far as my avatar, yes it was done with rubber bands

were you eating alot of veggies and fruit and working out?

not really, i didnt do anything special

Wow, that is some great growth!

your hair is beautiful...

GORGEOUSSS I hope my grows like that haha I'm going on one month natural

That's crazy!!!! I must admit that I'm really jealous!
Do you take anything like biotin?

thanks everyone for the compliments! no I don't take anything, I literally just cowash every day usually and then put shea butter pomade mixed with a lil oil but that is about it with either kinky curly curling custard, the styling spritz, or mixed chicks leave in. that is pretty much all i do

Beautiful curls candycane1224!!!

thanks @allnaturalbeauty!

I do pretty much the same thing you are doing Candycane1224 except I add virgin coconut oil after the curly custard. Mine has grown a lot also but I am suffering from styles! It's not long enough to do a ponytail or much else and too long for a headband.

@sonance yeah my hair is at an awkward length too, there is not really much that i can do to it right now either lol

excellent growth!!!!!!!!

@ candycane gone gurl your hair growth is no joke..love it.

Just an update, almost to month 3.

omg i want minds to growth this fast, but i just started going natural lol this is my first month. But someone random tht i spoke to tht i saw was growing her hair natural said it wasnt ok to wash your hair everyday even if it was co-washing. So she told me as a transitioner to wash my hair every 2 weeks. So what do u ladies think on here? I wash every 2 weeks and do my braid outd over night using cantu shea butter leave in conditioner and coconut oil and braid each section.

@Stephy0306:
Keep in mind that everyone's hair grows at different rates. The amount of growth I have gotten in the 4 months I've been natural isn't the typical amount for most people. My hair grows really fast. Also, cowashing every day may not be suitable for the lady you spoke to but that doesn't mean that this is the case for you. You really have to see what your hair wants/needs, the results really do vary from person to person. Honestly, most of the products people rave about on this site, I tend to not like. I know what works for me and I stick to it. I love the giovanni and mixed chicks lines. I have some kinky curly but I don't like the results on my hair now that it is longer. I think what you are doing is good, if that is what you have found to work for you. It really is trial and error until you find what works. For the first 2 months I was natural all I did was experiment with products. It wasn't until the last month and a half that I figured out the products that reacted best with my hair.

Update: I no longer use the same products. I use Giovanni tea tree triple treat, mixed chicks shampoo, giovanni smooth as silk conditioner, mixed chicks deep conditioner and mixed chicks leave in conditioner.

Wow amazing results!!

Wow candycane1224, that is awesome, girlfriend!! I am having my very first cut tomorrow since starting my transition, and I'm not sure what to do with my hair, but I love your style on your avatar pic, and might have to bite that when I go to my sister's b-day party next Friday...lol.
