5 Month's Natural/Hair Growth Products

   Hi Everyone! I can't believe I have been natural for almost half a year. Yes, I did Big Chop October 3, 2015 but I have been growing my hair natural since August 2015. As I had mentioned previously I wanted to grow my hair back out from rocking a undercut style for over a year. So the last time I shaved the sides and back  of my hair was the end of July. I then waited until my sides were as long as my new growth on top and "Big Chopped" the top. So since August until now I have about 2 1/4 inches of growth!!! I'm pretty happy with that because my hair grows slow. I'm hoping to see at least 5 inches by my one year mark. But to be honest I really just want to have healthy hair.

   In October I started using products to help my hair growth process and one of them were Hair, Skin and Nail Vitamins. The first brand I tried was Natures Bounty 90 count gummies. I really liked them they had a good Strawberry taste and they lasted me 45 day's. I can't say I noticed rapid hair growth because I was still newly natural, but I did notice my nails grew long and strong fast. After I was done with those, I wanted to try a different Brand. I went with Spring Valley Hair, Skin & Nail pills 120 count. With this particular brand the serving size is 3 pills a day which seems like a lot. Some day's I took 3 other's I took 2. If taken as directed this brand would last you about 40 days. I have had more hair growth than I expexted at this time so I beleive these vitamins are good and actually work. I have also seen lots of growth and strength in my nails. Not so much difference in my skin though. I'm almost done with these vitamins and would Love to try something different. What vitamins do you reccomend? Please let me know in the comments below.

   Along with vitamins I have also been using various hair growth oils. The first one I use is the Jamaican Black Castor Oil in Coconut. I have read great things about it's hair regrowing abilities so I wanted to give it a try. One thing I love about it is the smell. I heard the regular Jamaican Castor Oils don't smell so good so I made sure to get a scented one. The second thing I like is it really makes my hair soft. The next growth oil I use is Alikay Naturals Essential 17 Hair growth oil. This one has a mixture of 17 ingredients for healthy scalp and hair growth. I like the smell of this one as well it smells like peppermint. You can check out my previous review on Alikay Natural products a few entry's back. And last but not least is Yani Care's Everyday Spray Serum. It helps promote healthy scalp and hair. It is made up of a nice assortment of essential oils and distilled water. It has a very nice fragrance as well.  I have only been using it for 2 weeks but I honetly Love it. It is not too greasy and my hair is so soft after using it. I'll have to give you an update on it after I use it a little longer.
   I always mix my growth oils (hoping for a little extra growth) LOL! I first spray my Yani Care on first. Next a couple drops of Jamaican Castor Oil and a couple of the Essential 17 growth oil. Then I use my fingertips and gently massage my scalp for about 15-20 mins 3 days a week. Massaging the scalp helps with the circulation of your scalp allowing blood to flow and hair to grow.

   And lastly, I always knew my hair took a long time to absorb product so I decided to do the water porosity test. Basically you take a clean strand of hair and place it in room temperature water. If it floats you have low porosity hair. If it sinks you have high porosity hair. So I placed two stands in (hope you can see them) and kept checking on them. They never sunk and stayed on top. So I have what I thought, low porosity. I really need to find some products that work for my hair. I hope to try the new line by Shea Moisture for Low porosity hair. I would really Love to review it.
   I hope you enjoyed my hair growth update. My next one will be at my one year natural mark, October 2016. Hope you found it a little helpful.
