I hope everyone having a great weekend.
A quick check-in: my hair is grow faster than I thought it would.
I'll been step up my cowashing game. So I guess that helps. I did buy too many deep conditioner with protein.
That made me mad. A waste of money. I don't have protein overload...my hair was just a little dry with no breakage.

Good morning ladies! New challengers have been added. WELCOME!
I ordered some Manetabolism vitamins. I took them in early 2014 with nice results. I retained/grew about half an inch/month for the three months that I used them. I ordered a 4 month supply of the new formula. So hopefully they help me grow/retain a couple inches by the Spring.
Still doing my extra protein. Fell off a little last week since I ran out of protein powder last week, but I'm back on it this week.
Right now my hair is in twists. I feel like it's scraggly though. I want to cowash it and moisturize real quick or something.

I'm excited about straightening my hair next month. I'm finally at a length where I can wear my hair out more. Next year I will try to wear my hair 80% of the time. I will still wear wigs occasionally for color and shorter styles. I'm eyeing this lob wig right now...

I think I may need to stop washing so often. Think I will stick to wearing my hair in these twists with braided roots and take them out every two weeks rather than every week. Shoot, maybe I need to just get some box braids with added hair so I can give my hair a break for a few months.

Go to your local bss. Usually they allow you to try on wigs with the purchase of a wig cap. It gives you a chance to try new styles and colors without the commitment of dye or cutting.

Super excited to be here! I want gorgeous waist length hair, like yesterday. I have bleached and dyed hair in the back that i am growing out. I dont intend to bleach again until this section has completely grown out (i want a different dye style, not because its unmanageable or anything). I am also growing out my heat damaged bangs. They should be long enough to justify a cut of 3 or so inches by my birthday in March, if i can wait that long
Current Length: Grazing APL
Ultimate Goal: Full Waist Length, though I think there's a high chance that I'll be content at MBL
Regimen: Weekly shampoo and dc, twice monthly mild protein, m&s every 3 days, massage scalp 3 times per week with Green Magic, daily MielleOrganics hair vitamins
How many inches do you have to go to get to WL: Not sure. Will have to get someone to check for me. But im guessing at least 12
Natural/Relaxed/Other: (OPTIONAL) Natural, may become a heat straightened natural in 2016 to help with knots and detangling
Tips/Tricks: Im still learning, but i know i cant go more than 3 days without moisturizing or cowashing ny hair
Issues or difficulties you're having/Things you're tweaking to grow or retain more: I will be taking a hair growth vitamin, massaging my scalp with a sulfur based pomade, and keeping my scalp clean. I also am thinking about going back into half wigs to protect my hair from this cold weather
Starting Pic: Will have someone take a picture for me or try it myself today

My new Kerastase goodies are here. I'm not washing my hair until Wednesday, but I want to see how everything smells
Today is day 7 of my inversions. It seems like I got good growth in the back and on the sides based on the looseness of my braids.

Current Length: MBL (longest layer)
Ultimate Goal: WL or W"HIP"
Regimen: Clay wash hair once or twice a week, deep condition after each wash, and Aphogee 2-step monthly. Protective styling all of the time. And ACV rinse monthly.
How many inches do you have to go to get to WL: To be totally legit, I need 2.75 inches before I can claim WL. Hopefully I will be there by the next check in ...
Natural/Relaxed/Other: Natural
Tips/Tricks: Dusting quarterly and S&D as needed. Too much dusting and trimming led to stall outs for me in the past.
Issues or difficulties you're having/Things you're tweaking to grow or retain more: Aside from maintaining my patience, I need to figure out a style that will allow me to wash once or twice a week without causing setbacks. It is important to me that I deep condition often, so hopefully I can find a happy medium.
Starting Pic: ...
I am looking forward to gettin' it!!
I hope you all are doing well ...
