Not a problem. I know how easy it is to forget and think you may have already done it. So I just wanted to put out a little reminder. This thread isn't usually on the first page so its easy to get overlooked.@faithVA apologies for the delay.
I'll post a starting pic asap (Friday at the latest). I need to take down these November cornrows. Most of them are flat twists at this point.
We need to see some pictures. Why are you hiding your hair from us?I just hit APL but just touching it but I want to be fully there so I will stay here for at least another 6 months.
Will try to keep it alive for at least that long even if I just bump it @faithVA . I am doing more inversions to fully get there anyway.
Please post pictures when you get a chance. Would love to see your twist out.no problem Ms. Faith!
decided against tension drying; used SSI coconut curl pudding and set my hair in ten flat twists. We'll see how it comes out tomor
Come on in. It's never too late. Just complete the questions in the first post and post some type of picture. Glad to have you.I missed the starting pic date. Is it too late to join? I'm technically not fully shoulder length because I cut my hair in layers (accidentally just wacking hair off in chunks getting rid of split ends) but APL is my next hair goal length for this year. My hair is currently in a sew in but I have pics of the aftermath of my split ends purge
I'm trying to work both inside and outside.How does everyone plan to grow their hair and stay healthy from the inside.
I'm gonna try:
- lowering meat and fish content in my meals. If I can cut it out then that would also be great.
- exercising at least once a week min. Even if it's only 10 minutes.
- less stress as I was having quite bad anxiety last month and the month before. I have a feeling that stress has contributed to my shedding now.
At the moment it's improved but I really wanna keep it that way.
Does anyone see the benefits of hair supplements?
I am so sorry hon.We need to see some pictures. Why are you hiding your hair from us?
Maybe you posted in the 2 inches in 4 months thread. I think I remember saying you were way past APL. In 6 months you will be bsl or longer.I am so sorry hon.
I thought I posted it in here but I guess I didn't. I'll post it from my phone soon. The pic is in there.
ETA: okay here ya go:
Oooooh, say it loud!Maybe you posted in

I wouldn't PS long term bc of the excessive shedding, it may create matting issues. Maybe month to month instead? Have you tried tea rinses? Evaluated your diet for recent changes? Your health?My update is that I've been shedding more than I like recently.
I also plan on paying someone to put my hair in a PS. Possibly a weave so I can't take the extensions out and fiddle around with my hair. I touch my hair way too much but that's another story for another day.
I've heard people keeping in weave for 6 months and their hair being okay... If I can stretch to 4 months max I'd be very happy.
I will probably get it done within two weeks so I'll update when I do.This is a lot better than me experimenting with PSs and wasting time and money when it goes wrong.
Yeah there must be some type of science to taking good hair pictures. I'm trying to be more patient but I'm not sure I'm getting any better.I wouldn't PS long term bc of the excessive shedding, it may create matting issues. Maybe month to month instead?

Ms. Faith, I wish I could, my twist outs always come out like a giant afro in photos. I cannot get good texture shots.
Your right. I will evaluate more when the time comes. I think it has something to do with my health last month. I feel better now though.I wouldn't PS long term bc of the excessive shedding, it may create matting issues. Maybe month to month instead? Have you tried tea rinses?

Anyone in here willing to help me keep this thread going so it doesn't drop down too many pages? I would appreciate any help. tia
Happy you're feeling better! I went thru a major shed a year or so ago and after changing my diet, reducing my stress and adding tea rinses every time I washed my shedding went back to normal.Your right. I will evaluate more when the time comes. I think it has something to do with my health last month. I feel better now though.
I will look into tea rinses thanks
I can help out.
