Now that I have done a wash (after touch up and trim), I have determined that the stylist cut about an inch and one half from the back and about an inch from the sides. She sort of blunted my hair in the back, taking off my tail of longer hair. Although I was so proud that I made it to 24 (the tail)inches, I am now back to about 22.5-23. My hair feels much shorter, but I'm vowing to get it back, and this time it will hopefully be a little more even and w/o the dry, thin ends. My regimen will be:
Wash twice weekly (1x w/ CON, 1X No poo)
Airdry
Nurse my damaged hairline with ORS temple balm, Biotin Creme, and castor oil.
In about a month or so, when my edges are stronger, I will get braided. This always seems to work like magic for growth.
