lol that was the only reason i even tried it is because my bestie literally dropped off the whole set at my door and said "I've been listening to you about my hair and my hair has gotten so much better.... but this time i need you to listen to me. TRY IT!!!" lol so since there was nothing coming out of pocket to try the whole line, i figured, why not. and now i'm in love.
i've never had an issue with 2nd day hair but this 2nd day hair is GREAT considering all it went through yesterday lol

Hello ladies,
I want to join in on the part II of this challenge. I have three layers going on. My front is APL, My crown in back and sides is waist and the lower layer of the back of my head is hip length. I went some years now not being very kind to my hair the way I should have so I am back on track to, try to grow out the uneven hair, strengthen the total volume and than continue on my growing a nice head of hair. At least to obtain most of the hair to a nice classic if that will be possible.
I am returning to the regemin in my signature with commitment.
Here is a photo from today. Its in braids and you can clearly see the difference in the top and bottom braids.

Glad to be back. Very happy to see so many ladies here confident and growing long locks of beautiful hair.
ADDED!
You have been missed!

Sorry I have been away for a while.... My laptop gave out on me so I had to pull out my spare.... I am still trying to configure it.
Anyway, as for my hair.... with all the snipping and the last trim, there is no progress lengthwise. But for fullness, it is progressing nicely. I also learned something about my hair. The center, which I always claimed is so dry and grows the slowest, actually had a different problem. Let me explain. For those who deal with SSK's you can identify with this. What I thought was a different texture and dry to the touch, wound up being a lot of coils that form into knots. But in my case they would coil around other hairs and break off when I comb. So the center of my hair was always lagging behind the rest of my hairs length. I started doing a small section by section analysis of my hair and discovered this. I have been on a vendetta snipping them out. I didn't care how much hair had to be cut, I just wanted to conquer this problem. Turns out most of these coiled hairs are shorter length hairs anyway. So lengthwise it is not that big of a deal. The end result is the center hair is now growing at a faster pace, thus catching up and the center hair itself is not a different texture. It is soft and smooth to the touch. I just needed to keep the coils at bay. I also discovered that I can't go 3 weeks with no S&D in this endeavor. I must S&D every other week to stay on top of this problem. My hair is loving me for it by growing and not breaking off.
I hope this made sense....
Next time I do a hair update, it will be very clear about what has happened to my hair.

i was really liking my hair today so i had to take a pic... excuse the chunk, i'm still on my weight loss journey thats THE LONGEST JOURNEY IN THE WORLD!!!! lol
You look beautiful
BTW last year your hair just had a huge growth spurt. I blinked and you went from BSL to hip length LOL What do you think attributed to the growth? Protective styling? I'm hoping to be on this challenge next year.

so i've gotten my order and i'm still in love. i dont seem to have a bad hair day with it
now lets see how long it lasts me. if i go through it too fast then of course i will have to give it up. i cant shell out $60 every month for hair.
but my best friend who uses it has had hers since dec and she has A LOT left. she thinks it will lat her til may at least... so $60 for 5+ months that's like $12 a months... that's totally doable.
so far i use literally 1/4 of the shampoo i used to use per poo wash. about 1/2 the cond, maybe less than usual. and the hair milk.... well that's about less than half the amount of hair milk i use in my hair than the HE HH in my hair. like the squirt of hair milk i use for my whole head = 5 squirts of HE HH its ridiculous. i dont know how to explain it
but i'm really feeling it so far. but of course the true test is time. come summer if i'm still using it, it will be a staple and i will give away all of my aussie moist bottles and HE HH bottles.
now i still use my home made juice and i still seal with oil (way less of it now though)
posting over here too

so i'm supposed to do a trim this month...
i'm a bit torn. i want to do my own trim cause i know i will only take off what's needed. but on the other hand, i think i want to go get it cut to have a nicer hem line... only problem with having a nice hem line is that will probably take my a little below wl.
what do you ladies think?

You can always do a small trim yourself and when it grows out a bit more you can get a proper hair cut. I going to do the same thing as my hair grow in a v shape and would like to have a blunt cut but only until I achieve my goal length, until then I'm dusting.

last night I had some time and found the old Hip, Classic and longer club thread. I did not realize how soon I went MIA. Computor had gone down and life soon followed. Things came at me hard and fast. My physical self was a causualty. I went along feeling on the edge so long and just getting by. All my resources went to caring for children, grand children and then my mom. I knew I had to take care of my self but it is so easy to neglect ones self. My poor hair suffered. I had huge boughts of shedding. I had accepted the thought that it had been wonderful to acheive allittle of something I had always wanted and be happy. I barely gave my hair what it needed and sometimes not even that.
Recently as my 14 year old came to the desire to grow her hair to longer lengths I pulled out my old journal and saw that my hair deserved a chance again. I deserved a chance again. I reregistered my membership but was to shy an embarrased at first to log in. Then I figured well, know one would remember me anyway and just suck it up and jump in again.
Reading the old posts last night was so wonderful. I am sorry I missed out on so many of the milestones acheived by soooo many ladies striving for longer beautiful locks of hair. I felt like I was reading a fairy tale last night that ends in happily everafter. I know there are many woman of color out there in the world with long hair. But this website is different. Its for those who want long hair and have to strive to obtain it.
I am very humbled and proud to be back here and to have the opportunity to be aquainted with all of you. I may never reach my desired goal. However, it is exciting just knowing others have and will.

Thanks for that post it keeps us inspired it's food to look at old posts and see how many and how happy we are when we reach a goal.
Your daughter is starting at a perfect time with healthy haircare she can prob grow to WL beyond lenths by college time and have fab hair as an adult. I'm sure you've done a good job with her hair already.

Thanks, look who's talking, your hairs thick too. My thick hair is exactly why I'm stopping @ TL/CL. I don't think I could handle more man I can't imagine how much conditioner I would need-maybe 1L/month?
