Updates: So I went to the hair school by my job at lunchtime. I found a very knowledgable and friendly senior student and we talked a lot about my hair. I ended up getting my hair trimmed...now 100% Natural! But I did get it blow dried with the comb attachment and flat ironed. Sorry NikkiQ you can smack me now.
But he was very careful with the amount of heat he used and he got me the same feathery style that I love with so much less heat than my previous salon. So I got his number; I think he's the only person who is doing my hair from now on (besides me of course).
He also told me to stop using my sun-in hair lightener... http://www.sun-in.com. I've been bad yall!!!
It's like church, most things you already know you're not supposed to be doing, but sometimes you just need someone else to tell you.
Going to keep it straight for 2 weeks, probably bun after a few days...then I will do wet buns or something like that for 2 weeks without a ponytail holder! shortdub78
Mjon912 I was still thinking about what you said about the glasses because this bald spot is directly under my glasses which is another reason why I proabably didn't notice it right away.
NaturalfienD I'm going to call a dermatologist tomorrow.
About to apply MN & JBCO, pincurl and put my scarf on.
OH and pics are coming...

My hair is dirty. But I don't feel like washing. I miss wearing my hair out, but I'll ust look at pictures. 
I'm gonna go out of town from Thursday to Sunday and when I get back on Sunday is when I'll wash if I feel up to it. I'll wash and dc in the twists and let them airdry. Then retwist in the twists. I may tri mini braids next just to see what it's like, but I know it'll be scalpy.

itsjusthair88 said:Hey ladies! I haven't been here in awhile (the least of my concerns are hair these days) I have been in weekly protective styles (twists, mostly) and I am seeing some progress, I thought out progress pics were due on the 1st of June, so I took a few, and here are some comparisons:
The one on the left is March 31st and the one on the right was yesterday, June 4th.
I have also come to the conclusion that I am having breakage problems, I know because I BC'd 20 months ago and I trimmed once, about 1/2"-3/4" of hair, so I should have about 9.5" of hair, in some places, I only have 8" and in the nape, I only have 6"
Your hair has grown alot.

I try to alternate protein and moisture DCs using Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque and Aubrey Organics GPB Conditioner. I usually use Cream of Nature Argan Oil Shampoo and HE Hello Hydration to condition but I've been using different stuff recently so maybe i should switch back. I moisturize using the loc method with a light oil and either oyin handmade hair dew or the original Shea moisture leave in.
tot after seeing that, but no more heat until your edges are much better young lady. We gotta keep this lovely hair as healthy as possible.

Your products dont sound like they are the problem. Are you using heat to dc? And sealing in your moisturizer? Protective styling? Covering your hair in satin or silk at night?

I did an impromptu length check on Sunday. Wish I was further along. Had trimmed about 1/4 to 1/2 inch in April I think - just to keep the ends fresh. Did the pull length check - so comparing the pics I took with the blowdry length check I did in Jan is a little discouraging. I have no intentions of blowdrying again anytime soon......so yah

Depends on your current length. I started my hair journey at NL last year Feb and I am still waiting for APL
I never PS though so with PS it is faster. Also if you have only 3 inches between your neck and APL it is possible
I am at CBL, i did a big chop June of last year, and had alot of hair loss during my transition. It was 2-3 inches all around after my chop. Almost a year later i'm at CBL after having to cut alot of hair because the lady that braided my wet and wavy used nail glue and added it onto my hair, even after i told her make sure it does not get on my hair. i think CBL is a good progress? but i'm greedy I want faster growth,
. what is your current lenght? What is PS? i'm not even close to 3 inches between my neck and APL,
. i'm thinking of going back to taking MSM? ever took it? have any of you ladies seen any progress with the MSM, i took it for a month and stopped, i started getting head colds.

I usually keep a beehive in for up to 2 months,but that's with a sew in. Its just the braids this time and its only been 2 weeks. Ready for em to come out. The MN mix is working better than I thought. Lots of NG to say they've only been in so short of a time.
