Fast forward to today, I noticed while she was trimming the fly aways, she cut some of the twist and, as a result, cut some of my hair. I was beyond pissed. I started crying. So far I've found about 7 twists with nicks in the actual twist which includes my hair. I've taken out 3 and my hair was in there, nicely sliced. 2 were about 3 inches, one was like 6 inches.

mbib0002 I can't believe this happened to you, I hope the damage is minimal and that you can recover quickly.

growbaby and NikkiQ I hope you get well soon

Just yesterday I opted to blow dry on low. It took an hour but I think it takes that long on the high setting anyway. Previously, I lowered the flatiron temp to 340 still doing one slow pass (that took another hour). Everything else is the same. Will see if this helps my hair in anyway. I'm about 2 inches away from BSL.

Okay, I've been doing better with my biotin...

I don't think it's actually working lol, but it's all good.

I'm realizing more and more I don't really HAVE a regimen. I wash occasionally, I deep condition occasionally... I keep it in braids, buns, stretched, wigged.

I feel like after all this time I should have something set especially since my friends always ask me questions! I'll figure something out one of these days to do consistently.

So when I checked on 2/15 (left pic), I said BSL was 6.5. Yesterday I got some curls in my hair so I pulled a piece down and it looks close. Once the curls fall, I will take a bra pic and let y'all know for sure!

Hey ladies...tried to take a bra pic but I was too ashamed of my back fat. Seriously that needs to be a priority for me. Anyway I took a look at the shirt and felt where the top of my bra strap is and I think 7 on my length check shirt is really BSL so I have about .5 more to go. The bottom is 8...or MBL. SO helped me with my previous measurements :-/

Hoping to claim BSL by the June length check. In the meantime, I would love to get my hair in crochet braids because I need to stop looking at my hair like did you grow yet? But I'm trying save money...and I don't know how to do them myself so...I have to see what my next 'free' style is (at home).

Congrats on all that growth jprayze that .5 inch will be here in no time :)
 
Dear God,

I pray for continued blessing on shortdub78, her little one and her extended family. May she have a smooth and incident free delivery, and have a healthy bouncing baby to hold, care for and love. I also ask for a recovery without complications.

We thank you for the love and support she has had thus far.

Amen!

:bighug: gforceroy Sorry to hear that! Do you know what may have caused the breakage?

Hmm, I am not sure, I have been keeping my regimen consistent. I do switch up products a lot though, I might be a product junkie lol. The water here is hard but the only problem I noticed is scalp build-up...maybe it's coating my hair too? But I alternate between a chelating and clarifying shampoo sometimes.

Yes ma'am it's def resting peacefully on your back looking luscious lol! Get it ;-)

I'm going through all of these hair products that I don't use I'm gonna put myself on a no spend $ on hair product challenge and use up the stuff I still love! I've been working out and keeping my hair on cornrows under my wig someone else is Wigging as a ps style how is it working for you? What's your regi? Thanks in advance ?
 
Got a good workout in today and sweated like a BEAST in my head so I will probably condish cleanse today in the shower.
 
So I got my TU today, after a trim of about an inch or slightly more, I took a bra pic and I appear to still be at BSB :ohwell: on the plus side my thin ends have gone :grin:

I am giving myself till August to get to BSL :look:, I will post the pic on the official length check date.
 
I just had someone measure my hair at the back and apparently it has shot right past APL and is almost at BSL :grin:. I asked her to check it again. Since the first update is March 31, I'll wait to see where it stretches comfortably on that date. I'll claim full BSL when my hair reaches the bottom of bra strap so I still have a few months to go yet. This is encouraging though!
 
Blew out my hair using the tension method then cornrowed it. Not sure if I'll keep the cornrows in, but I actually like how I did them.
