Apologies for this semi long post. I just want to give a little background about my hair. My profile pic is the longest my hair has been and that was in 2008. Later that year, I had surgery and the anesthesia damaged my hair so I got it cut really short. A few months later, I got micros which really helped my hair grow.
A year later, I stopped wearing micros and started wearing sew -ins. Everything was going great until I decided to get microlinks which did a lot of damage. Since then, my hair has been on a downward spiral, especially the front. So I decided I needed to get my hair cut again.
I don't go to salons often, maybe once a year, so I found one (I love the atmosphere but my stylist burns me several times when flatironing my hair). She just did the cut today (pics below) and I'm not really feeling it but it definitely feels so much better.
I'm relaxed, and I'm 4 weeks post my last perm. At this point, I just need a little help with my hair journey. My hair is always dry so any suggestions to battle dry hair will be appreciated. I know I will be doing sew ins as a protective style and to promote hair growth since my hair grows very well when braided. How long should I keep my sew in in?
I'm super excited about starting my hair journey. Im hoping to be necklength by August 2013.
