seriously, most people who's crown is that long have MBL to WL hair! Especially if you have a long neck or big head! That is a lot of inches of growth!That's what I was thinking. That's why I asked.

Shared this in the TWA thread and just wanted to share it here as well. Tried something new with my hair when I went out last night. Did a wash and go and pinned it up into a somewhat frohawk. My first time attempting it but I kind of liked it. Got a lot of compliments on it so I'm pleased. I did however had a hard time pinning the sides with bobby pins, they were very loose. Anybody else do frohawks and have a better way of holding up the sides or tips for using bobby pins to do it?

What length are you now?
just coming out of twa stage having BC'd to a fade in Jan
Natural/Relaxed/Transitioning?
Natural
What's your plan to reach SL?
Low manipulation low stress styles, gentle detangling and regular moisture.
What's your regimen?
Hopefully...Dc once a week, cowash and finger detangle twice a week, wash and go to style and I hope to throw some Bantu knot outs in the mix
Anything else you want to share?
I think i'll call shoulder length when my sides touch my shoulders, the back is almost there thanks to my mullet style and the front will reach there in 2034
Happy growing everyone!

I will. We will all know by my length check in December. That's enough time to see some type of change.
Honestly I've not seen any results from any growth aid including jbco. My hair just doesn't seem to be impressed. Lol

What length are you now?
TWA... I have maybe an inch in some places... less than that everywhere else!
Natural/Relaxed/Transitioning?
Natural
What's your plan to reach SL?
Moisturize every day and cover my hair at night.
What's your regimen?
LOC faithfully. When I get about three inches of hair I will also put my hair in twists once a week.

Pray for me because I am doing an all-around challenge to lose weight, grow hair, and get some articles out so I can transition back to academia.
I will get a picture posted by January 1st.

I know the feeling! I am in New England as well and I never saw my hair suffer as much breakage as it did last summer. What are you using to moisturize?

I put in two strand twists last night. I did an oil rinse, used kknt and then twisted. I'm going to try wetting my hair each night to see if my hair/twist can handle being rinsed.
I can tell my twist are slightly longer than the last time I did them. They are wearable but just slightly. Since I didn't seal, they are drying out and they shrink up and stick out as they shrink
If I can rinse in twist then in early spring I may switch over to 2 strand twists vs. the flat twists. But for now I will be returning to flat twist on Wednesday, my next wash day.

My scalp has been extra dry. It seems my oil is great for my hair but it my scalp. Any suggestions?

.How often are you washing your hair or wetting your scalp? The oil will help seal in moisture but if your scalp isn't getting enough moisture then it won't help much. You can try spritzing your scalp more often. You can also trying baggying or gheing
It depends. I wash my hair about twice a week on average. I am scared if bagging. I don't want my hair smell. I swear when I sleep. I'll try sprit zing.

Tried a flat twist/curly updo for the Christmas party. I so rarely wear my hair out my coworkers were surprised I had any hair
Your hair is so thick and beautiful! That's a rush job!? It looks really nice.
