Hair update (picture heavy)

How are you retaining all this length?

That's what I want to know lol.

Protective styling, mostly buns.
I find that my hair grows faster and longer when I toss it up in a bun for at least a week or more-no combing in between, nothing- until it's time to wash or straighten (which I barely do, esp since i'm lazy about it heheh.) And also stretching my perm, I'm due for one soon and my ticker says 5 months and 2 weeks, I'm trying to push a little longer and then give in ahaha. Another thing, I trim at least once or twice a year, I think some people trim a lot more than that so how are you supposed to retain length if you keep trimming any gain off?...just a thought. And, taking vitamins, although i've slacked off, but it kinda helps with hair growth....
gosh I really need to start making youtube videos again lmao, I kinda wish I never deleted the ones i had while natural. ah well.

How did you bun your hair when you're hair was shorter? I have no problem not combing my hair, I just don't want a baby bun

But really.

But that's cool. I'm on a no heat personal challenge for the summer, so we will see how this goes. I just don't want my ends to get ravaged and knotted up .

I think not combing your hair and letting it rest from all that manipulating is a good thing! when it was shorter i'd do twists a lot and at night use my satin bonnet, my twists weren't that great so I couldnt last for too long with them. In the winter I wore a lot of hats with my satin bonnet underneath lmao... I was taking classes so it really didnt matter and people barely notice your hair in college. Well as long as you stick to protecting your ends you'll be good to go, yeah laying off the heat for a while helps tremendously, I found that I have less split ends when I try stretching the amount of times I straighten my hair per month. Last month (april) I straighten my hair once. I was supposed to get a trim by the end of april but, I chickened out and decided to see what May has to offer xD .

It's nice to see, according to these pictures that there has definitely been some significant growth. I am currently headed towards classic length So maybe i'll get there by march 2011? *crosses fingers... God willing*
