Hair Update! (and other plans)


Yay for September! You know, I was feeling pretty crappy in all of August because I was thinking my hair was never going to bounce back. That is...until I took my monthly picture and I actually see growth!!! You're going to be seeing a lot of these same progression pics lol

I see real growth!!! I am pretty happy! There is no July pic because the one pic i took was in the bathroom mirror and realized too late that my bedroom is the perfect place to take the same progression pic every month. The things I have been consistently doing that i am confident that helped was continuing in taking my iron supplements, massaging my scalp, water consumption and watching what I eat...protein intake in particular. And of course, waiting it out. I feel slightly better. I can even tell i have hair growth when I am in the shower. When I wring my hair out, I can feel slightly more fullness. I still have a way to go though.

Other things I have planned is that I want to aim to lose 20ish pounds by the end of the year. I'm content that I probably won't but any loss I will be satisfied with as long as I don't gain.

Another goal is to actually do to challenges that will eventually be aimed to be permanent: 30 day gua sha to slim down my face and do a leg exercise challenge to grow my butt. From that Daisy Ieech bubble butt challenge that was trendy years ago that I am finally finding out recently. If I am successful in both, I will make posts about it! Third, I will test more walking apps to see which is worth downloading. Starting today!

Testing: Cashwalk App - How Long Does It Take to Redeem? (Concluded)

Image
*All of my recorded earnings are at the bottom of the post!* There's a lot of apps out there that claim to reward you gift cards in exchange for steps. Ads in particular. I've used this app on and off for a couple years and I now want to document just how long it takes to redeem an Amazon gift card and is it worth doing as potential passive income. I just redeemed my $10 gift card today so that means that I am starting back at 0.  WHAT IS CASHWALK? Cashwalk is an app currently available on Google Play where you can potentially earn gift cards for simply walking and recording your steps. Easy as that! HOW DO I EARN THESE GIFT CARDS? First off, you can't connect/sync any app or device to the app which is a bummer. Apparently you MIGHT be able to but as of this date, I was unable to find a way to download the corresponding app to my Google Pixel 2 watch. Moving on. You have to use the pedometer that is the CashWalk app itself. As long as your phone is on you, even ...

October Hair Growth Update!

Image
It is that time again! I have had quite a bit of late breaking news in regards to my health and other things moving forward but first...the progression pics along with my current hair as of October 1, 2025.  Roll it!!!! Okay soooo a few things! 1.) I trimmed my hair. My ends were dry and damaged so I snipped about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. So if it doesn't look like much growth, that is why. I won't cut it again for another 2 or 3 months.  2.) Had a change in supplements. I ran out of my Vital Proteins Collagen in the 1st week of September and I didn't have enough money to buy more. I also ran out of my iron supplement and went without it for a few days before getting Olly brand chewable iron. I started off taking 1 but due to health reasons, I upped it to 2 tablets. I now take prenatal vitamins. No, not pregnant but I read prenatals helps with hair growth. I also now take my night time magnesium right before bed because I ...

Hair Update

Image
One thing I was glad I did was taking pictures before and after I lost weight. Right when I thought I wasn't making any improvements, I just looked at my old pictures. I want to do the same with my hair. I am quite stressed as my once semi full head of hair a few months ago is at critical levels of thinning. That's when I decided to take some pictures on the first day every month. So here are the past 3 months. Glad there is at least some growth in the past 2 months. I got to hang in there and continue eating right.  All I am doing is taking an iron gummy in the morning. After breakfast is take 1 omega 3 pill and 1 biotin pill. I am supposed to take 2 of each but I am financially struggling so I am trying to stretch the product until I can buy more. In the afternoon I take 2 tsp of magnesium powder and 1 tbsp of collagen dissolved in a bottle of water and drink it and maybe take a nap. All of those are supposed to help with hair growth. I...
