Double/Triple your hair growth with the GHE (Open)

Will doing this technique, give me to much moisture and create mushy hair and hair loss?

My answer from experience, is no it should not. Anytime your hair is getting to much of anything it will let you know, so if you hair starts to feel mushy, then I would stop doing the GHE. I find that doing this 3 to 5 nights a week did not over moisturize my hair or create hairloss for me. Also when we had Gheri Curls, we put plastic caps on our heads every night (minus the scarf) and it did not bother our hair, it made it grow.

How can I do this technique if I am trying to maintain a straight hairstyle?

Some ladies have  success with first applying a scarf, then a plastic cap and then another scarf. Some ladies have stated that doing it this way, helped them to retain moisture, but the hair did not lose its straight style. (My hair is natural)

This sounds like the baggy method, where did this come from?

Go to the REALQUEENS.com website for more information.
Also you can type Greenhouse effect hair on youtube and find some videos from the creator.

I have tried the GHE it makes my scalp itch. How do you take the itching?

Not all complain of itching while doing the GHE. Sometimes my scalp itches sometimes it does not. When it does, I just ignore it and it will stop. I find that not using product on my scalp at night keeps it from itching. Also the when my heat is on in the house, I find it makes my scalp itch more. I guess from the extra heat and the plastic cap.

With the GHE you are suppose to apply oil on your scalp then cover with a plastic cap. Why do you not apply any product or oil to your hair when you do the GHE?

I do the original method. I use the Sauna effect to stimulate my own sebum to moisturize my hair. The heat penetrates to the root and it stimulates the blood flow and give me that extra push I need with my hair growth. It kinda like keeping my hair in a summer climate all year round. This works well for me. I like for my hair follicles to be as clear as possible to create healthy growth.

Is it okay to do the GHE every night?

Personally, I would not do it every night. If you feel you need more than 3 nights a week. Then up it to 5 nights. I find it works to take a break in between treatments. But if you are experiencing very dry hair that will not stay moisturized, I would start out doing it every night, up to 5 nights a week. For one week, to see if this corrects the problem. If it does not, you more than likely have overly porous hair. You will need to correct that before your hair will retain moisture.

Should I use a different plastic cap every night?

I brought a large bag of clear conditioning caps. I use one cap 2 times before I throw it away. You must be your own judge for that. However I would not recommend using the same cap over and over more than 3 times. To save money some people use a shower cap or plastic grocery bags. If you choose to use the shower cap, I would clean it after every other use.

How do I figure out my normal rate of hair growth?

I would chart your hair growth from 6 months to a year. Then pick the average. It is best to do a whole year and chart your growth rate monthly. So you will be able to see how your hair grows in different seasons. Some people experience more growth in the warmer months. So this is a good time to chart your growth. Because when you do challenges if you do not know your normal growth rate, then you will not fully know how a particular product or technique effected your hair growth.

Yes that is fine. Did you get a good buy on your rosewater?
Also I wouldn't spray a lot, just like mist it, so it is not to wet in the morning for you.
