I have natural unpermed hair. I lobbed off about 4-5 inches of dry,damaged ends a few days before I began taking these pills, to get a fresh start. That was around the end of April. I barely had enough hair to put up in a pony tail, so I kept it braided back while still caring for my scalp with coconut oil and also eating an optimal diet. I kid you not, after a month, my hair is about 1.5 inches longer & I can pull my hair into a small ponytail. My roots are full and thick yet soft. I keep staring at my hair in the mirror from all angles, because I am in disbelief at how fast & full it has grown in one month. At this rate, I'll be looking like Chaka Khan by Christmas. I will have to start using a tape measure to keep accurate track and check back in another month.
