WTH happened, I left my hair alone and.......

[SerenavanderWoodsen]

I have been leaving my hair alone for about 6 mths now,, straightening rarely ( just havent seen the point lately lol), never combing or brushng and I was under the impression my hair was not yet at waist lengtherplexed..... I SOAKED my hair with water and conditioner tonight and took and hand mirror and looked at the back of my hair for some reason and stretched,,,, my hair is nearly at my tailbone!!! I was totally shocked!! I wish it were thicker but no trimming yet, im just gonna let it keep going for now... I just think its pays off superbly to LEAVE THE HAIR ALONE ! lol, its like magic..
Here are a couple of shots of my hair soaked with Joico Moisture Retention and water

[Jetblackhair]

Now that's a pleasant surprise! Congratulations. I so have the hand in the hair disease right now and it's so ridiculous. I need to just let it be and give it some space like you did.

Great job on your progress!!!

That is what actually helped me as well. I left my hair alone for a good 8 months. All I did was just cowash and let airdry, no combing or brushing. When I finally went to the beauty salon, my hair had made it from neck length to collar bone length(which is in my siggy). I tried this method again a few months back, and now my hair is fully shoulder length.

I believe this is a great way to grow hair without heat. Plus I added an extra boost by applying coconut oil and EO.

Im trying to keep my hands outta my head too. . Ain't really happenin' though. It's all the new growth that I'm fascinated by.
Anywayz...Congrats girl.

Now THAT is the kind of surprises I like to hear about. The KISS method *definitely* worked for you!

 

[MiWay]

Great progress and beautiful hair!

 

[halee_J]

Fantastic! I wish I could leave mine alone more...

 

[stinastina]

Do you relax your hair ? There is no way I could go without combing for 6 months ! I would end up ripping any new hair out trying to comb out the knots and tangles.

 

[MizAvalon]

Lovely hair.

 

[Fine 4s]

Yep, that's the KEY. Just like folks who lock their hair is left alone...

I was surprised to see my hair at BSL under the shower a few months ago...So hopefully by next summer, I should be MBL....
Congrats!

CONGRATULATIONS! This is what's getting me to my goal of midback/waist length. I just leave my hair alone and seal the ends of course! I'm so due for a new progress pic but I need to purchase another cam. My last update was July 07. I can't wait to show my progress
