Tangling and even though you're using the same products huh, maybe it's time you dust or trim your hair? That always does the trick for me! I know when I wore high puffs last year I retained zero length. I was diligent with my regimen too (wash, dc & detangle one week / light protein, dc & detangle the next week / M&S every other day). When it wasn't wash day, I was busy picking at knotted ends 24/7 (mistake #1). And because my hair was always moisturized and sealed, I thought I didn't need to trim (mistake #2). My hair is on the thiner side, so those tangles ate away retention regardless (lesson learned). What's your hair like though?

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe it is time to trim and to stop wearing the high puff. Trimming my ends on Friday.
 
Back on my Green Magic starting today. Havent been feelong like wearing my half wig. Its synthetic and getting a little rough looking. Luckily its curly And has lots of volume so its hiding it a bit. Tried to order a new one but fingercombers site wont let me use paypal. Grrr
 
I feel like I'm at the point where I have really great products. Some aren't holy grail status, but they are effective enough that I can reach my hair goals.

The only thing left to do is keep my hands out of my head. My hair does so much better when I don't touch it throughout the week. I've been looking up styles to wear throughout the week and I feel like I'll see a big change if I can commit to this.
 
Its been a week since I washed my hair. I was back in my wig this week. Saw a good few shorter hairs in my wash tonight:ohwell:. I haven't really noticed much before. I'm hoping it isn't anything too noticeable in the grand scheme of things.

Still deliberating whether to overnight DC or overnight clay (never done that before) hmmm...as much as I wanna try a new clay mix ASAP, I may just DC overnight. Don't wanna change up too much too soon.
 
I'm gradually transitioning into my hair regimen. So far plus deep conditioning weekly, I'm also moisturising with water every two days. My breakage has decreased dramatically. I always used to see advice but ignored it thinking it wasn't important or wouldn't be beneficial because of my shrinkage. How wrong was I! So I'm listening to the experts (everyone on this forum) and caring for my hair..

Once I've figured out the best way to moisturise I will be set to see the hair growth!
 
I decided to get a new wig so that I can focus on working out. I probably won't straighten my hair again until Spring. I got a new purple lippie too :)

Hello all! Lazy Presidents' Day at home. You were all 100 percent right as usual. I dusted myself and did OK. It was so nice to have the control instead of cringing in my stylist's chair and attempting to explain what I wanted. See pic-- I think it's fine and the sink showed the appropriate tiny length hairs.

I want my hair to stop flipping up at the ends and not sure how I can accomplish that--but for now just focusing on thickness and shine.

Man! Alter Ego is the business. My hair is soft, smooth, detangling was easy and I barely shed any hair. This was my first time using it as a dc.
 
I recently made a change in my diet with fruits, veggies, less sugar and sodium, and about a gallon of water daily. I did it for health reasons, but I hope I see a boost in growth. My old diet consisted of sweets and maybe one fruit or vegetable a week smh.

That's awesome! If ever you have too many fruits and veggies going bad all at once, just chop em up, throw it in the blender or a juicer and you're set!

ETA: You could always cut em and freeze em too. :)
