I think your PS looks great, its so nicely done I love it! I do understand the frustration with staying motivated with the same PS. I have been in box braids for a little over a year and a half, and what motivates me is pretty much seeing the new growth in my braids. I usually do a length check every other month when I take them out & every 6 months when I relax. Seeing the progress, in my opinion, is a huge motivational factor to keep the PS. Also I switch up my box braids a lot, I change the color, parting, and length all the time so I don't get so bored. I like to track my progress by using my length shirt when I length check & I also compare my pictures before I started my hair growth journey to where I am currently and then I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I agree with everything
@LonDone said. Spot on! I'm new to the regimented hair growth journey, but I do realize that my hair wouldn't be anywhere near where it is without my PS. Btw my goal is also WL lol at the rate I'm going, I hope this time next year I should be nearing full MBL starting to approach WL ... fingers crossed.
