OK, so I made a new hair growth concoction last week. I apply nightly and moisturize 2x a day (as always) with distilled water and glycerin. When I clarified and DC today, I decided to take one braid down for a length check because my the braid was super loose. Now I didnt use a ruler, but I swear I got AT LEAST .25 inches of growth in one week. I will keep using this concoction and take weekly pics to determine if its as effective as I think it is.
