WL?
No. My nape just grows faster and would hit my shoulders long before the rest of the back of my hair.

I took out my kinky twist yesterday and styling my hair for a twist out tomorrow and while styling, I saw a quarter size bald spot in the area I always play in in my crown area. Seeing that scared me straight. Im not playing in my hair anymore.

I woke up this morning and said to myself...I'm shoulder length. I have another 3-6 weeks before taking this weave out but I kind of feel it. I am also not weaving up again this year because my crown where my leave out is doesn't feel like it's really growing. I have maybe 1.5 inches of visible growth there after 5 months :/

Mizani butter blends relaxer + Wen is the TRUTH! I didn't burn like I usually do, no nasty relaxer smell, very very minimal shedding. My hair hasn't been this sleek, shiny, and healthy looking In a very long time. I think I'm gonna enjoy this HHJ this time around 
Trimmed like an inch but still got noticeable growth. Will rock this kanekelon bun with a side part, leaving it in for 5 days then washing with Wen followed by aphogee 2 min. Moisturize with Wen leave-in mist, and seal with JBCO.
After about 1 1/2 months to 2 months I'll put it back in my Brazilian deep curly sew in (or wig) with closure until next relaxer.
With this Reggie I think I'll have great retention.

Oh and here's another LC. It's from April til now, July. In April my struggle ponytail was way above my neck piercing and now it's below. So I'm happy with the progress. ETA, I know it's thin, but it's wet in most of these pics, thus appearing thinner. Plus id never rock this ponytail In public lol. .

shortdub78 faithVA like October? It's so disheartening to grow your hair for TWO years and still not be SL. Most people are working on getting to BSL at this point.

Trust me, we know more than you
I really can't predict when you will get there. But I think October, November is a good time frame.
Don't be disheartened. Your take care of your hair and it will get there in time.

Sorry ladies I've been MIA. My daughter and I left out of town to New York on Saturday for her IMTA convention. I'm extremely exhausted having to get up early and have competitions and seminars to attend! We will be leaving New York on Friday. Didn't get a chance to go to the hair show either. Now time to read and catch up since I have a little down time (30 minutes lol).

Naj you have to be patient and find what truly works for you. Find something and stick to it bc it could just be a matter of your regi.

I ended up trimming my nape back to neck length because my hair was starting to look like a mullet. I gave it a nice shape which I think will look nice as it grows out. I think I'll be SL by fall at this point. I don't plan on doing any more major trims or cuts, but I'm going back to a 10 week dusting schedule to keep my ends fresh now that my transition is over.
I'm also going back to baggying for the first time in probably a year. I used to baggy daily a couple years ago and loved to results. I'm going to try two days/week for now.

i would say yes. please don't get discouraged. you are on the right path and it's growing! it might be Sept? stick to what is working. don't try anything different. i learned that keeping things simple, being gentle as possible, and keeping my hair and scalp clean works for me. remember i am the setback, bc queen! lol i have cut my hair so many times due to a whim to change, or doing something dumb.

i finally got some vitamins. i am going to do my best to stick to them consistently for 2 months and see how things work. growth is not much of my concern, but more about the health of my hair. i just had a touch up, so i guess i will document things to see how it goes. my nails grow pretty fast already, so if they get stronger and thicker, that would let me know they are working. i guess this is going to force me to increase my water intake. i will also start back drinking a protein shake. i guess i can start now. i didn't get anything too expensive though.
i might roller set my hair and see how that works out for the next few days. i plan on washing my hair tomorrow night.

Hi ladies! I'm 2 weeks post and I'm finally updating pics. My stylist gave me a trim to even out my hair in the back. I'm not sure if I'll make SL this year. As long as it's healthy and growing, I'm ok with that
Sorry about the big pics
Pretty hair and healthy. my hair was your length in February. It's touching my shoulders now. You would be surprised how much length u get by the end of the year.

I'm getting back in weave or braids next week after my spartan race this Saturday. I hope that I retain another inch or so and I'm gonna try inversion this Sunday lol to see if it helps any.
I'm thinking I do cornrow extensions for the rest of the year because 1) it's cheaper, 2) better access to my scalp, 3) I can switch it out every month and track progress better.
I'm also gonna take biotin again
