Did you all notice that the longer the length challenge the less activity the thread has? I came in here looking for a whole bunch of updates and there's some but not much (but I know good and well I haven't posted a thing in a while myself, lol
). Even going back to the really old threads with classic length goals you see the same thing. I wonder why that is?
Anyhow, here's my update....things have started to calm down finally and life is thankfully getting back to normal. Friday before last I washed, did a protein treatment followed by DC, air dried, then redid my twists over 2 days. This past Friday I washed mainly my scalp and did a dry DC of the rest but left a little in and just threw it in a bun. Today I messaged QB CTDG through the entire length and ends. I also messaged a mix a Rosemary oil, coconut oil, and castor oil in to my scalp. It's back in a bun now, will probably wash and redo the twists later this week which would put me back at my normal routine.
Generally my hair is doing really well but I can tell I'm going through a major shed. Not sure if it's from stress, hormones, or the season but will likely go see a doc if it doesn't settle down in a few weeks. I'm hoping that getting back to my pre-poo routine and good nutrition will help.
Other than that I took advantage of QBs sale and bought 2 big containers of the CTDG plus two trial sizes for when I travel. I can truly live with just that and the Bekura Java Bean and Honey Balm in between washes...at least through Spring and Summer. We'll see if that holds true for th Fall and Winter.
How's everyone else doing?
