Am I the only one literally nervous about the end of the year?? I'm so scared I might not reach my goal and I've never felt this way before! Thats how you know this is not just hair, dammit! December 31st looming closer like
Lol. Naw sis, I'm feeling the same way. I know I'm not out of MBL land yet but I keep hoping I'm closer to WL than before.
I hope you surpass your goal at the EOTY!

I'm just trying to get to SL which I've been trying to reach for years. And even though the August pictures said I was close, yeah I'm still nervous that when I take the pictures in December they will look the same as AugustAm I the only one literally nervous about the end of the year??

But let's stay optimistic.
I'm looking forward to December though just to get it behind me.

Idk if I will length check EOY. At this point, i don’t think I’ll make it past waist length. Like, seriously. And I don’t now why.

I'm still tripping over all other these lengths reached, and the fact that we have been able to reach these lengths all along but felt we had to use chemicals.
If I reach full APL by December 31st and MBL in the back, I'm going to eat beef. A grass-fed cheeseburger. I haven't had beef since my mom sent me that datgum documentary.

@faithVA yes ma'am lets stay optimistic!If you were close in August then you are definitely making it in December, plus you're probably already there!
And I'm with you on just wanting to put December behind me. Just come and go already dang!
I feel like I have gone through a thickening stage since August and not really a growth stage. But we will know soon enough.

I feel like my progress over the last two years has been slow -- this year especially. I think it's because I started wearing my hair out more to enjoy it. Relatively speaking I don't even wear it out that much, but still.
I might have to step up my game and move from 85% protective styling to 99%.

Ooou sis https://hairveda.com/VATIKA-FROSTING-p32.html
I would describe it as an Amla infused coconut oil but better lol. I used to use it way back when. It’s great as a pre poo or for scalp massage or even to seal. Need it.....? Depends on what else is in your stash. If she has a good Black Friday sale it may not hurt to try a jar tho.

I agree. You can't pull enough to compensate for the texture. And products and techniques definitely impact shrinkage and texture.@trclemons it's that natural hair trickery girl. That has happened to me as well. I do a pull test and I get all excited and the next month it's an inch or so shorter

for those of you who cowash I read this and need to do more research, sounds pretty cray:
" I used to use Suave Toasted Vanilla or VO5 Strawberries and Cream until I found they contain DMDM hydantoin which releases formaldehyde".
I just started using suave for my cowashing and I love it. wtf already.

I'm also nervous about the EOTY. I trimmed my hair shortly after getting out some box braids in September and it was a decent amount of hair. I still have some more ends to cut so I'm not too optimistic I will finally get out of MBL-land but I've got my fingers, toes and eyes crossed I can finally get out of limbo. I'm trying to bun my way past it so we'll see how productive it's been.

I'm easy going.

I wont lie...I still feel salty about my hair history.
Oh what lengths I could have had the WHOLE TIME!!

@MzSwift mbl land is no joke! I'm stuck there too! Every time I think I'm in the clear my length check be like girl quit playin
I have been trying to escape MBL land for what seems like very long time!! Even though I have not checked it in a little while... I know that the hair is still there at MBL (which I am grateful for) .
This is why I don't experiment... I'll just keep doing what works until I get there.
I don't have time to be playing about with twist-outs, braid-outs, and Wash n Go's, over manipulation.
IM TRYNA MAKE GOALS!

And this is what took me from a little past shoulder length to 2" above waist length in a little over a year. not experimenting, leaving my hair alone because it works.

I was not able to keep my cool when Hairveda's 40% email came through. I got stuff I don't need just because of the price. SMH

I snatched up:
2 Vatika Frostings
1 Jardin oil
2 Deep Conditioning Masques
2 Jardin silken conditioners
A small disclaimer: this used to be my staple line later in my transition. I have been revisiting it as a fully natural head for the past few months. I'm finding that the bulk of the conditioners lack slip on my hair which is a major no-no. They are all uber moisturizing though. The ones I purchased above are ones that I don't mind not having slip as I only plan on using them after henna treatments. Tangles just fall out of my hair after henna, so it would be a non-issue. Just putting that out there just in case you find the conditioners lack slip for you as well.
Colocha
acne cream and afro dreams
For some reason the Hairveda deep conditioning masque stopped working so well for me. I used to buy like 8 jars at a time. Now I have to add olive oil and VO5 to make it work at all.
Which reminds me. I think the Qhemet Biologics products that don't work for me are too heavy on the ayurveda and that's drying my hair out.
