Hypothetically speaking...if someone guarenteed you hair that was between bra strap and waist length (you can take your pick of the exact length but bs would be the minimum)thick...natural or relaxed but you couldn't ever color it again or use heat aside from the bonnet dryer or go to one of those salons that use marecl irons...relax your hair any often than 10-12 weeks...or get any style that would potentially damage you hair...would you be O.K with it?
I've noticed that I am making progress with my hair growth...and I have gotten several pm's about the difference in my hair from April to now. But I have made many sacrifices in regard to styling options and I will most likely never color my hair again (aside from bigen eventually to cover my gray). I just want long hair so bad that I won't do anything to risk even a little set back.
I've never been the type to get a real "do" at the salon but aside from a braid out, roller set or bantu knots my hair has stayed in it's little bun for the most part since I have started my 365 day challenge.
I no longer care about having a few naps in my kitchen or if my hairline looks rough. I just want long hair...even if it is in a bun 90% of the time...I don't care...I just want to be able to take it down at home and know that it's all mine.
Am I sick or what?
When I read about all the hair coloring (aside from covering those grays) and the styling and the use of heat from some of you ladies...I get curious. Do you think this stuff is slowing your progress? And if it is...is this the price you are willing to pay to keep coloring...and styling your hair?
I am curious...what are you doing with your hair style wise right now? And what will you do with it once you are at goal?
For those of you who love to style your hair do you think this is causing you to progress more slowly than someone who just leaves their hair alone? Or has it had no affect as far as you can tell? AND IF POSSIBLE I WOULD LOVE TO SEE AN ALBUM WITH BRA STRAP AND LONGER HAIR THAT DOES ALL OF THESE THINGS ROUTINELY. Please tell us how long it took you to reach your goal...hairtype...etc. And please have some pics to back it up.
For those of you who are style junkies on hold...meaning you love to style...use heat and color your hair but have put those things on hold to acheive length...will you resume your normal practices once you reach goal? And if you do...do you think that there will be a negative effect on your hair?
What are you willing to sacrifice for long hair?
How far will you go?
