Do you ever doubt your hair growth?

[summerof1990]

Lol I always do this this and its the exact reason i need a length check shirt!!! I will look in the mirror and see my hair and think nooo its been like this and my eyes are playing trick on me. or i think to myself i look at my hair everyday and just being over imaginative.

Am i the crazy one here?

 

[Amoreofcurls]

I'm currently doing it now :-/

I don't even feel like my hair is full enough...

 

[boundlessbeauty]

i'm there now. i know it has grown because my color is almost completely gone. i've had to cut a lot due to damage for coloring. i think the better question is...are we retaining growth?

no im talking about when u know your hair grew but u doubt your hair and say things like maybe its the angle...maybe its always been like this and i havent noticed

I was really surprised to see the length of my grey roots. I didn't think it had grown that much

I doubt my hair all the time! Nearly every day in fact!

I've accepted it as part of the process. When I first did my BC, I was highly doubtful I'd make it to SL, let alone my current goal of full APL. Now I think it might be possible to make it that far, I just don't know how long it'll take. It already took longer to reach SL than I thought it would, not to mention my chronic lack of protective styling!

Wait am I rambling... I think I'm rambling.

At any rate, I doubt my hair all the time. I've never successfully grown it out before and just have no idea what it's capable of.

I doubt my hair all the time....that is until a couple of weeks ago. I was twisting my hair and when I instinctively thought I was to the end I realized I was still twistin'! I looked in the mirror and finally a switch went off. WHOA where'd all that hair come from?? Your eyes really can deceive you, because it felt like the length came outta nowhere, yet I've been watching it the whole time.

Girl, take pics at reasonable intervals. The pics won't lie and will reconfirm when you start wrestling within your thoughts.

I can't deny what's right in front of my face lol. Even so I do like to track my results over time so I just ordered a length shirt to make it easier. I'm getting monster growth right now and I want to track it to see how fast my hair can grow.

I've started to feel this way this past summer. I'm nervous/excited about straightening my hair at the end of this month......

 

[leiah]

I was just squeezing a towel down the length of my hair.. my hair was in the towel so I couldn't see it. I stopped and pulled it off and I wasn't even close to the end

Yep. Its mostly bc I'm natural, so its hard to tell how long my hair is really when I go long periods without straightening. One day its more or less stretched out than the day before, so I always feel like I'm tripping or something. Or I'll assume my ends are probably jacked and whenever I straighten again it'll have to be cut, so it probably doesn't count. I think I don't want to get my hopes too high and be disappointed.

A good way to solve that is taking lots of pics and also keeping a ruler. But even as a natural I'm doubtful of the ruler, again bc its tricky stretching out hair and getting consistent measurements w/o straightening.

Whenever I straighten tho I take measurements and pics with the exact same pose/style to compare. Its just in between straightening that I start bugging.

 

[greenandchic]

I do.

Mostly because I feel that I have a lot of shedding and breakage no matter how hard I try to keep it at bay. I feel my hair doesn't grow fast enough too.

 

[Aireen]

I do it all the time until someone says that my hair looks longer. I guess the confirmation gives me reassurance. Although, recently I've kind of not been fussing over my hair too much.

 

[BlackHairDiva]

YES!

I'm going through this as we speak. Im not if I got hair growth or not. Right now I'm trying to figure a way to ensure that I retain all my growth.

 

[Carisa]

I doubt my growth all the time (even with pictures) and sometimes I even doubt that I will ever reach my goals. I think this is mainly because i wear braids a lot and really cant see my length due to my lack of hair straightening abilities.

When I look at my hair I don't see a difference, that is because I see it everyday but photos tell the true story. I saw my hair from a Feb. 2010 photo and I see a big difference. I have people tell me that its growing but I don't see it but I know it is. I am making progress and I see the variation of styles I can do compared to a year ago.

 

[SuchaLady]

This is me all the way. It's worse when you're in between milestones and your hair isn't hitting a definite spot. You will drive yourself crazy.

All the time, but it's probably because I do a length check like everyday.

This. All. The. Time.

I don't doubt that it's growing, but it doesn't seem as long as it is. When I see someone with full APL hair, I tell my DDs "oooh, can't wait til my hair's that long". Then they say, "mom, your hair's already longer than that". And I say "really? really?" lol
