I've had two setbacks. One in December 2009 with some self-installed braids. My hair tangled awfully, and I had to cut a lot of them out. The second was last month. I used a stupid blowdryer from walmart with a comb attachment and it ripped my hair. I had to cut two inches. They weren't major setbacks but nevertheless I count them as such.
Don't feel bad! I'm sure you're doing wonderfully in your journey. How long have you been on your HHJ?

Normally once a week I wash, condition, and style. However, since I've been wearing the bun it's been a whole month without anything. I'm thinking about revamping my regimen to every two weeks wash and style.
I'm actually sitting with deep conditioner on my head right now lol

My hair wants to look like yours when it grows up! Perhaps at the end of the year.

LOL MissAlinaRose Its been almost 6 years for me though! Autoimmune disease and hair color are no fun. *pouts*
But I'm on the positive path now and have my eye on the prize.
And BTW, my cousin stalks your blog. She is believer that our hair can grow now. Thanks for inspiring us with information and styling options.

Yes it is! I've never desired to have super long hair. I remember when my grandmother had classic length and because she is under 5ft it looked like it swallowed her up lol. I don't want that.
I'm sure you got it going on Chameleonchick!Your hair is BEAUTIFUL!! What am I doing wrong??

Ok, um.... is it just me, or did this thread depress anyone else? I'm 3.5 years natural, started with NL, and am still nowhere near your length!

Your hair is beautiful. Great growth.
And yes, sometimes I do preserve a cute style.

It was the first time I actually did it (kept a bun in for 5 weeks before washing) and I will admit, I actually enjoyed the break from my weekly washes/styling routine.
Garner No, I had it straight for about 5 weeks. As you can probably tell it was the last day of those 5 weeks so the reversion process had already began to take place.
