One of my reasons for joining was to post and share a growth experiment that I’ve started on 8/27/10. I had my last micro trim then, and have added a growth routine to my regular doings. I am using Capsicum Oleoresin and some others. I will post monthly pics, or links to my blogger account for pics, since I’m not sure when I will have permission to post photos here.
Capsicum Oleoresin, found it at Garden of Wisdom, for like 3 dollars. It’s VERY strong, I mix in single use batches with Avocado oil, ratio about 20/80. I start on one side of my head, making small parts and using fingertips to apply directly to scalp, and I work my way across to the other side of my head. Quite a warming sensation. I leave it on over night. WARNING! If you choose to use CO - cuts around the fingertips will hurt for hours if gloves not worn (I don’t). Stray hair coming in contact with eyes – hurts bad. Rinsing/washing out – be very careful not to get rinsewater in your eyes. Of course I’ve done all 3 and I’m still here J But seriously CO is essentially pepper spray so being careful is a must. I bun/sleepcap it after application. 2-3 times per week.
Scalp massage mixture of Camellia, Argan, Black Castor, Broccoli Seed oils, and Shea Butter, Salicylic Acid and Rosemary EO. I don’t have dilution ratios because this is a finished organic product that I buy. 1-2 times per week using same application method. NOTE: this oil is very dry, I can do this at night and by morning my roots are no longer oily, so this is what I do before non-wash mornings.
I supplement these applications with fingertip scalp massage and massaging with my paddle brush which has blunt, wide spaced, rounded wooden bristles. I am shooting for 5-6 inches in 6 months, my normal growth rate is right at .5 inches/month, so I want to shoot for doubling it. This may very well be a pipedream, I know.
If anyone has an advice or input please share!! I’m impatient as all get out and welcome new things I may never have thought of. Cheers!:rolleyes:
