So I once again sat down and compered pictures of my hair 3 years ago to my hair today. The pictures show me at approximately the same length / range that I was 3 years ago today. While this year I have accomplished hair that is defiantly thicker , stronger and I practically no breakage at all. I am still the same as I was 3 years ago. I dont know what I am doing wrong. This year I kept my hair up and plated underneath scarves and caps for six months straight and still no real growth. Aside from some minor splits and the ssk that are common to every natural my hair had no real issues. I shampoo weekly and deep condition weekly braid my hair and hide it underneath a scarfs/ hats. I only use heat 1-2 times a year. I finger detangle the majority of the time but use a BASS brush for the final detangling. I really have no idea what I could be doing wrong. Aside from growing my hair has no real issues with dryness or breakage or shedding which I really dont have.
I dont know if it matters but my hair is two different textures and thickness. In the front is 3c thick strands that tend to be harder to moisturize and in the back is 3b that is very easy to detangle and moisturize. I have always had a natural mullet and the back has always grown much faster than the front. I trim regularly. I was also just diagnosed with hypothyroidism and low Ferritin ( iron deficiency) and too low cholesterol. Am I an example of terminal length or exteremly slow growth rate?
