Well I am Attempting to start this thread for myself and for those who experience setbacks and hair disasters to come in vent,get support and get on track without being or feeling ridiculed!
I can honestly say I felt too embarrassed about posting these pics-but I had to because I felt the need to show newbies as well as others that this CAN happen if you don't do your own trims and REMAIN in control of your own hair at all times.... I have cried and complained-my hair is not coming back until it grows back PERIOD!
Long story short I was in the MBL 2010 challenge and made it! Joined the 2011 WL challenge-hoping to see WL or graze it by June! Went to the salon for a blowout and trim today. The stylist and I discussed EVERYTHING! She even show me in the mirror how much she was going to cut-an inch-MAYBE! Upon completion- from the side view it looked great and fine-once I came home and took a back shot I realized I was grazing BSL! WOW!
My plan: Braid my hair crown and glory for 6 months in an effort to reach MBL by then. Because I cant stand the sight of it! It makes me that upset. Not because it's BSL of course but because it's hard for me to swallow this setback! So I will hide it for 6 months and keep every inch by doing this-thats the plan!
Here are the photos-sorry but I will not answer any ignorant questions about why I let her do it! It happened and I am trying to move forward-nothing less!
Please share your story and help support one another!
