My hair has been pretty much in hide mode the past 6 months. Now that it's getting warm, I decided to start wearing it out again. For me I don't really "see" the difference, or see there being a drastic change in length, but I've had a lot of people make a comment about how much hair I have and how it's grown.
Even though I may not "see" it so much, I have noticed in handling it that I cannot do my wash and go's like I used to. I used to just jump in the shower, wash, detangle, and apply product. Now I actually have to section off my hair to detangle, wash and condition in sections, and apply product by section to style. It takes longer, but the two times prior that I didn't do it this way for my wash n' go I wanted to tear my hair out!
Anyways, here's an updated pic, my siggy hair is pretty old now. I think I am going to keep going. Currently this is the longest length I've been since going natural in 2004. I think the protective styling (me just being lazy with my hair and not doing it) worked for the best and I'm considering going back to it (although my BF HATES it!!! He doesn't have to handle this stuff on my head though lol!).
These aren't the best pics as I took them with my phone, but it gives you an idea of where I am at on this journey especially for those who have following from the beginning.
HHG!!
ETA: 4 day old hair...it looses definition and gets really "fluffy". I'm hanging on though, wash day isn't as easy as it used to be for me to redo it every other day lol. Just pinned up the front and kept it moving...
