I didn't hide anything. I listed everything when I got it and put it in my stash list
hmm let's see if I remember.
Deva curl conditioner
TW Herbal conditioner
Giovanni conditioner (don't remember which one)
SM Yucca Conditioner
SM Yucca Leave-in
Hawaiin Silky
Sta Sof Fro
S Curl
TW Mist Bodifier (2)
SM Mist
That's all I can remember right now. And I bought some stuff. Nubian Heritage Heat Protectant (Spray, Wrap and Leave-in). Because I straighten my hair all the timeAnd I bought the Nubian Heritage Strength Treatment because I had a $10 Walgreen certificate I had to use in April.
Even with all of those additions my stash is at 27 and I have a plan of attack.
That's pretty darn good!! When I get my stash, I'll add it to my list. I'm gonna get:
2- CJ Curl Queen
2-CJ Curls in a Bottle
CJ Curls Assurance Smoothing Lotion
CJ Coffee-coco Curl Creme
CJ Hibiscus and Banana Deep Fix Moisturizing Conditioner
Alterna Caviar Overnight Hair Rescue
Not too bad, but that's a lot for me these days. In PR, I'll probably end up doing a lot of WnGs and twist/braid outs and give the wigs a rest for a bit.

Hi Arianna!
I am so excited
. I got my length check shirt in the mail Saturday, but I have no clue about what the numbers mean. So how do I figure that out? Does it depend on the person or is there a chart, or what?Thanks for your help!

No worries TheNDofUO! Your hair will grow in time
have you updated your reggie? are you doing anything special to retain length like a few protective styles?

I think it depends on the shirt cause mines is meant to start at apl and they have the other shirts for shoulder length.

NikkiQ I haven't relaxed in two months and for me that's a long time. I can't wait to get a perm lol. Since my mini cut I have been praying on retaining some length so I try not to think about it. But I do need to change what I eat and drink, and I also need to add exercise to my regimen and I may get faster results than what I have now....not complaining

Hello ladies
Checking in- had a terrible weekend, I was unfortunately a victim of police brutality on Saturday so I've been dealing with that. Can't really do much to my hair due to a mild
Concussion , shoulder pain, and a sprained thumb, but I managed to wash it a few hours ago. I'm gonna try to convince the bf to put conditioner in it and see if im up for washing it out in the am.. Hope u all have a better week than I.

For those who didn't get a chance to see what I call my mini cut this is it. I took this about a month ago and I have been protective styling and completely hiding my hair. So I'm considering this my new starting point. Wish me luck!

I'm in a "seems like my Hair's been stuck at SL forever" mood today :/
SL is the longest I've been and I'm beginning to think one of two things:
Im a slow grower or SL is my terminal length *faints and falls on the floor*
No major breakage or shedding, just *wipes tears* taking forever to grow
*sigh*

Please dont cry. You might be watching the pot too much, and so you only think its not growing. When I want to forget my hair I install twists. If you aren't currently in the braidy bunch you might consider joining. Sew ins, wigs, braids. anything that will let you ignore your hair for a bit.
I prefer kinky twists because they are easier (for me) to take out, I forget about constantly 'checking'my hair, but I can still apply my treatments. I cannot wait to get a job, so that I fan go back to that instead of wearing wigs. I find I notice hair growth more after I remove the twist. Not to say they grow more (I dont know maybe they do), just that the growth is more evident when I do.
