My Results
After hearing so much about this product, my curiosity got the best of me.
I was looking for a leave-in anyway, so why not try this product?
After co-washing, i used this product all thru my hair, along with my
homemade moisturizer and almond oil to seal. I then air-dried with
all the products in. I don't know, but i don't feel anything special about
this leave-in, as a matter of fact my hair felt hard. It could be a combination
of all the products together. I will give it another try with just this product
alone.  Maybe the results will be different

Stretching

I am 9 weeks post. I am not sure how long i want to stretch. Usually around this time, i have a lot of problems stretching. My new growth is usually dry and brittle by this time, but since adding JBCO (Jamaican black castor oil) it has been very soft, so i am not having a hard time with the new growth, and my hair has over a inch of new growth, which is great, cause i usually have about 1/2 inch by this time. Could it be the JBCO? anyway i am also on a JBCO Challenge on MyHairSistas.  Let's see what happens !!!

What's Causing This Fast Hair Growth?

I am now 8 weeks post relaxer. My hair normally grows very slow IMO, but i am noticing that my hair has grown an inch in the past eight weeks. What can be causing this faster growth? Well, i believe it's the combination of some of the new additions to my regimen. I have been taking hair,skin, and nail vitamins, along with MSM and a regular multi-vitamin. I have replaced my mult-vitamin with prenatal vitamins. I also have add JBCO (Jamaican Black Castor Oil). I apply 2x week on wash days. I am not sure if i'm having a growth spurt or this combo is what is doing it, but i hope it continues
