So I'm finally got some Wen! Anxious to try it but it won't be a few weeks.
Hope to length check this weekend to gauge how far I am and what I need to get to BSL by June.
A few changes--Taking a break from MN for the month of May. No problems with it, just like to take breaks. Will be using the liquid gold sulfur oil as my growth aid for the entire month.
Did not reorder viviscal. Replaced it with 2000mg of MSM in my vitamin regimen. Really taking that for the associated health benefits but if hair growth comes as a result, I will not complain! But I don't want any change in my hair texture as some have reported.
Haven't flat ironed since March 9. Almost 7 weeks...a nice stretch for me not using heat. Hoping that I had good growth since then. Going for flat iron tonight and then no more until June.
Been wearing wash n gos, banana clip buns and twistouts. Here's pics from this week:

Very pretty. I've been doing the braidout bun too. How do you get the front to look so smooth? I always have to wear a headband when I wear the braidout pony b/c of all the lumps. Do u comb out the braidout before putting it in a pony?

pelohello. I don't start my braids (I only put in 2) very close to my scalp so that part doesn't get so wavy. When I put in my ponytail I spray the front with water and comb it first with a wide tooth comb then a fine tooth comb and smooth with my hands. I used to just use a brush but I gave them up because I was breaking hairs. Also my last texlax was over processed so my edges are a bit straighter than normal. :-(

Hiii I was hoping to join you guys!! My longest layers were grazing APL about two months ago so hopefully by September or earlier I plan to reach BSL here is my starting picture. As of right now I'm currently in braids keeping my hair protected and my hands out of it and I want to keep them in for as long as possible. When I take the braids out I will take another picture with my bra lol sorry guys.

I did a touch up two weeks ago with Hawaiian silky lye two weeks. I was so under processed although I left it on for a while it wasn't worth updating but now the two textures are bothering me. I did like that it didn't strip or bleach my hair so I'm thinking of doing a corrective with it today. With the two textures I feel like I'm getting mid strand breakage 
for the summer I want to do more cowashes and airdrying but I can't with these textures.

Looking forward to this weekend's hair plans! Since my hair is looking mighty thin now I'm going back to my henna treatments. It's just gonna be me and my hair this weekend for some much needed TLC. Lol. Planning to clarify, henna, and DC, airdry, rub some oil in my lil baldie spots and put this bad boy right back into a bun. I'm hoping that'll give my hair a little life and myself some motivation from this setback.
Oh, & I've been ON IT with my multi vits this week & still have some Nioxin pills left. Once those are finished, I'm thinking of going back to Hairfinity. I remember getting some good noticeable growth w/ my hair when I used to take them. And my nails were just gawjus. That's motivation alone. LOL

I went to my stylist today for my color cellophane treatment. She noticed that my color still hasn't washed out from 8 weeks ago. I'm not sure if it lasted longer because I got a touch up last time or because of my baking soda shampoo. She thinks it might be the baking soda.
At any rate here is my length check. My hair is curled so I had to pull it. If I pull it I can make it touch BSL, but I'm not claiming it until it reaches without pulling.

@GettingKinky Once your hair is straight w/o curled, it looks like you will be there.
I got my hair done yesterday and it is curled right now too and I was pulling, but I will wait until the curls fall and see where I am this weekend.

I can see it. Are you planning to let it do its thing or even it out? That longer side is just about there if your hair was straight.

I'm wearing my hair out for the third day in a row AND I trimmed 1/4 - 1/2 inch off my longest layer in the back and probably 1/8" off the sides. For the first time, I'm in a "whatever it's just hair mood".
I got the biggest compliment from DH today! He just looked at me, smiled and said, "You're so beautiful, I love what you're doing to yourself". So I asked, "like what and he responds, "like the hair and the body". I have to admit, I am looking kinda cute lately...I think the clearer complexion is helping too. Earlier in the week I went to grab the mail, I walked back in the house and my daughter said, "you look different". My hair was down then too, it's the hair ladies, the hair is giving me life!!

I bought the boxed Shea Moisture. I dunno if I'm gong to do it, or if I'm going to return it. I'll have to figure out...
My hair gets Sooooooo dry from coloring. So I'm nervous! I think I know how to do better with my hair these days... But still...
I gotta think about it.

jprayze Don't cut it!! I'm sure the rest will catch up. Your hair is pretty.
GettingKinky your hair is beautiful as well.
I got my sew in yesterday and I love it!! I hope I still love it when I co wash it and wear it curly in a few weeks. I gotta make sure I take good care of my leave out so I don't get a setback.

KiWiStyle what are you doing to get a clearer complexion. My face is my current project
jprayze your hair looks so pretty I think you plan to gradually even up the long side is a good idea. You don't want to do anything drastic. Especially since you can't see it when you PS or wear your no heat styles.

I lurk on LHC thread where a lot of ladies have uneven hemlines much more drastic than yours, and they were able to correct it by trimming half their growth every month or quarter. Their results were pretty amazing.
I can't wait to see your celies hanging to SL
I constantly dream about having SL twist.

Thanks for the encouragement. I ended up going to the hair cuttery because I found more splits than a little once I really inspected my hair. Some of the strands even had white tips on the very end. So this will be the first trim and I will take another look in June when I wear it straight again.
