Hair growth without extensions...Gotta be a better way!
I'm very new to LHCF so be patient with me. I did the BC in August after 15 months of transitioning. Shortly after I was introduced to all of the online hair communities. I decided to follow the C&G method to grow my hair out long enough to do protective styles, maybe longer. On last Saturday I went & got my hair braided with human hair. My intentions were to follow this method for the next year, maybe two. By yesterday my hair was so fuzzy, it looked like I had been wearing the braids for months. I was wetting my hair daily so that might have been the culprit but I didn't want to go days without cleansing my scalp. So out of despair I took my braids out on yesterday. So I failed (miserably) my 1st LHCF challenge (the hard core C&G challenge)! So what's the point of this thread you ask? I need some expert advice from all of you ladies out there who have successfully grown your hair BSL and longer. Can I obtain my hair growth goals without the braids, weaves, etc.? I didn't mention that I got a weave last month & took it out in less than 12 hours. In being honest with myself I now realize that I don't want to wear extensions but I do want long, healthy hair. So maybe I just need encouragement. I also would like to hear from ladies that are perhaps going through the same thing. Thanks in advance for taking the time to respond...Nakia
