October's Results

Sweet October...

Ahhhh, so....

October was a fail in terms of keeping up with my vitamin regimen.  Of the 31 days, I only managed to take my vitamins 8 times.  *shame faced*  Below is the proof.

I knew I'd have a hard time being consistent but COME ON!!  8 days!?!  Gee whiz...

I'm really glad I decided to keep this blog because it is forcing me to take a good, long look at my actions (or lack thereof).  Despite the fact that I've done horribly this month, I'm proud of the growth obtained.  Below are a couple recent shots.  

Please note that my nape, a problem area, was originally only 1/4 of an inch long.  With new protective styling practices, namely braiding the nape 24/7 and keeping it well moisturized, it has grown tremendously and is now approximately 6 inches long.  

The area right above my nape was flat ironed and is therefore significantly longer.  This accounts for the photo below where it appears that the ends are thin when, in reality, its simply that the area right above is longer and lays atop the shorter nape, causing an overlap.  Next time I take a photo I'll have to remember to braid up the nape like I did before :)  

Take a gander:

 Now, what have I been doing?  As of today, I've switched up a couple of things.  I've implemented the inversion method (1 week out of the month), garlic tablets for my insane shedding, more water and....

Protein!!!  I know how awesome protein is in the quest for long, strong, healthy hair so here's what I'll be  having every morning for the month of November:

To spice it up,  I sprinkle granola on top and keep it moving :)

Just for fun, here's a side by side of how my hair has been doing so far:

Now, on to my outrageous goal for the month of November!  I hope to recreate my 2.5 inch mega growth mojo that I experienced before!!  Can it be done?  We'll see!!
