Starting pic until I blur out my other ones.

Current length: stretched out to an inch past my collar bone.
Regimen: currently co-wash (hopefully once a week). Wearing a wash & go. Tie with a silk scarf or bonnet nightly.
What I plan to do to achieve my goal: co-washing, trying to learn what my hair "likes", retaining moisture, drinking more water, and low manipulation styling.

Idk if it's too late but I'm just now seeing this challenge and I'd like to join for this session.

1. I think I attached a pic. If not I'll edit and add

2. My current length is between chin, collarbone, and shoulder depending on the part. Hoping for APL by the end of the year.

3. I just added cassia to my regimen so I'll be doing that biweekly. I DC weekly and usually wear twistouts/ buns/wash and go's. I have had my hair in sew-ins for most of this year so I'm wearing it out for at least a couple months.

4. Actually paying attention to my hair outside of trimming it. It's not in bad shape but I have not conciously tried to retain length and I am now. Nothing too special.

OH I did forget I started taking Viviscal last week lol. I clearly am not that concerned b/c I forgot. It's cheap on Amazon Prime though so I ordered it! I've never taken a hair vitamin so we'll see if that helps.

Thank you! I wanna grow out the top, and keep the sides tapered for awhile. So about 5-7 at the top so I can do more styles, like two strand twist outs, Bantu knot outs, etc... I wanna add some color too! I plan on having fun this time around with being natural!

I've been massaging my scalp twice a week with safflower oil (on wash days) instead of using monistat. So far my hair is responding well to it. I have noticed less shed and broken hairs.

I know I haven't retained no 2 inches. lol When I combat the hair issues that my Komaza Analysis revealed, then I am sure I will be on my way.
