My first 9 months of this haircare journey I think I was trying everything under the sun. Then I got sick and could not do half of what I signed up for.
I realized that my hair was still growing and I thought why bother with all of this just create a healthy regimen and be about your business. I simply like going the more Ayurvedic route. I just like the way my hair responds with these types of products.
1. What were your basic maintenance practices-- regular cowashing, deep conditioning and keeping moisture in it at all times if possible.
2. How much growth did you get in a month/year (whatever)--Each year was and is still different some years 3-4 some 4-6 others it felt like 2-3
During this really slow growth I was having health issues so that is what it seemed like since I didn't gauge my growth that much.
3. Did you trim on a regular schedule- I only do light dusting. I haven't had a real trim in quite a while like 6 or 7 years?
4. What was your starting length- I had it cut for make over in one of those really short in the back and just a little longer in the front but that was before my real journey. 4 years ago I was somewhere around neck length.
5. How long did it take for you to get from starting length to current length (or past BSL)- 3 years?
6. Any additional tips you'd suggest that lended to your success -- find a regimen and stick to it. Adjust when you have to and don't jump into every growth aid bandwagon. Too costly and with just a little patience you will get the length you want sooner or later.
