October Hair Growth Update!
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!!!!
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 ran out of my regular magnesium powder. I was having sleeping problems anyway.
However, my hair does feel fuller more and more each day. I am still pretty sad my hair growth is pretty damn slow but that's why I love looking back at these pictures because obviously, I was looking WAY worse.
Here is what I take currently:
I also want to bring up a few health problems I had and what I did to correct them. Earlier in September I was freaking the fuck out because my tongue was starting to feel numbness off and on. I thought i was having a damn stroke! I was also having scary night problems when I try to go to bed. My heart would get scary low like talking about under 60 bpm and as low as 47 bpm!!! That's when I started upping to 2 iron tablets and over night, the tongue numbness went away. Google says that low iron could be responsible. Seemed to fix it so I will just assume that's why I had it. I suspected I had low electrolytes because one night my bpm kept dipping in the 50s every time I sat down and I felt like I was going to pass out. The symptoms went away after chugging an electrolyte drink and licking salt. I never want to have that feeling again! Electrolytes is important, people! So that is one thing I need to be more mindful off from this point forward.
I impulsively bought b complex supplements along with a better brand of biotin for when I run out. Essentially for free since I did not pay any money. I earned it from walking reward apps and redeemed for Amazon gift cards. So yay! That should be getting delivered today.
That is all the update I have for now.
