Grow It Long 2025 Challenge!

[MzSwift]

Well ummm ...uhhhh

I discovered a long time ago in 2015 after doing some measurements that my hair grows 0.75 inches a month, and not the average 0.5 inches per month.

So my hair grows pretty fast and all I do is focus on retaining.

PLUS I'm built like a spider, so BSL, MBL, and WL are very short distances from each other on my body

Lucky lady!!
As a slow grower, I'll be watching your progress with lots of interest!

And, yeah, take it easy on yourself - you've been through a lot! But you're getting back on your HHJ and I'm sure you'll see the difference in your hair soon.

I fixed that for you to make it more accurate and true.

I'm not doing a wash today. My spirits are kinda low today and I've been fighting this anxiety attack all day, finally took my anxiety meds.

I'm just gonna chill out.

Thank you

I’ve been bunning for 20 weeks now. I really hope this is helping me with length retention. Doing the buns is really easy, but I’m starting to get a little tired of them. But my current goal is to keep it up until June.

@GettingKinky, you've got this.

Going to do my first trim of the year but looking good so far.

I alternate between buns and clips

@SmilingElephant does you hair ever get caught in the hinge of the clip?

No, I use the RC Roche Ornament hair clips from Amazon. My hair never snags with them...so far.

I looked at my post in which I listed the products I'm using. I forgot to mention that I'll also be using Wild Growth Oil, Nature's Bounty HSN gummies w/collagen, and Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie (as my main leave in)

I'm not very consistent with the WGO but I'm wanting to use up my 2 bottles. I already finished one (I had 3 total).

I try to remember to take the gummies

Your hair ends look thick, full and even and gorgeous.

Do you have split ends? Is that why you are trimming? Or, do you prefer perfectly blunt ends? Or, are there other reasons for why you are planning to trim?

To be transparent, although I trim my hair more often in a year now, I am “trim adverse”.

The idea of trimming creates anxiety for me, so because of my own personal issues I’m questioning the trim now.

The questioning is coming from a place of fear ( me having done it wrong- others having cut too much of my hair). The questioning is not coming from a place of criticism or judgement of you and your choice.
