I have tons of new growth that has been coming in, I'm fairly positive that it's growth because it has been steadily growing. The hairs range in length up to about 9 or 10 inches. That's perhaps 1.3 years growth for me, give or take a month or two. But I didn't have necessarily 'bad' hair habits even before LHC, so I don't know what to attribute this to.
1.5 years ago I quit shampoo and brushes. I went to CO, and started using a horn comb. Also about this time I started wearing it up instead of in a braid.
1.25 years ago I went vegetarian.
1 year ago I quit commercial products, and went WO.
10 months ago I went NW.
1 month ago (to present) I use herbs to wash.
Those are the only significant changes I have made to my routine since joining LHC. I have, sporadically, improved my diet, though the improvements don't last very long. Occasionally I use oils on my length, but rarely on my scalp. And with the new growth being short, it therefore must be something I did to my innards or my scalp that changed this.
Might it be the vegetarianism? I would have thought that less protein would mean less growth, not more. Might commercial products have been stunting my growth?
