My 1 YR update, Grazing brastrap

[need2accumulate]

My fotki will be unlocked for a few days so that you can see how my hair has done on my 1yr anniversary of starting my haircare journey.

I am at the tip top of my brastrap stretched. I will claim brastrap because although the pic looks like its a V, my hair is even in the back pretty much, my sis just straightened a piece so that it was straighter.

In the front I am APL and as you can tell from the 1st pic I was barely past ear length on the sides on the shortest part, and that is the part i stretched.

I have trimmed a total of about 2.5 inches from my hair. I did I chop in September of about 1.5 inches and in May I trimmed about 1 inch. I could be MBL by now!

My new goal is for the front to be where my bicep and tricep meet. I want my bangs to be past my lips (at tip of nose now and i cut them above eyebrow in May). And the back to be at the bottom of brastrap (which is about the same as midback for me give or take).

I am giving myself a target date of November 30th!

Tips and Comments appreciated!

Excellent progress!!! What did you do to achieve the growth?

for the first 6 months i would co wash about twice a week and put my hair in a bun out of preference. i was lazy about moisturising inbetween that time. i would just leave it in a bun till the next co wash. I think i would relax every 6-8 weeks. no vitamins, no special potions. with a trim, i think that i had approx 4 inches and it grew about 6 before trims.

for the last 6 months i just deep conditioned once a week and wash. i still pull it back. i moisturize more, i try to do morning and night. i blowdry and flatiron on average every 2 weeks. i take vitamins and supplements which have really done more for my skin because my hair still grows about an inch a month no matter what.

i am in the adopt a newbie challenge so i have switched up a lot of products in the last month just to try something new as long as my hair is not being harmed because i feel like something can always be improved and besides the waiting, this journey has not been to consuming for me. so far so good and my big sis is awesome. I want to try to get as close to midback as I can with her insight.

really simple.
