I am not Retaining *sigh*

[SimpleKomplexity]

I was looking at my pics, and it seems like I just got back to the length of my March update *sigh* I am not retaining my length even though it is growing a lot. and I mean A LOT!! I think I am growing about an inch a month. I might have to keep my hair in braids for about 3 months to end this shoulder length woe.

I am 10 weeks post. My newgrowth is not moisturized very well. It feels wirey. I'm getting frusrated lol. I used MN everyday. I stopped cowashing so much becaue of the mani. I just wash once a week and throw in a cowash every week.

Any suggestions?

Just incase you aren't retaining here's some suggestions. They're also good even if you are as I found that I have zero split ends because of doing this: Forget the newgrowth. Yes you should moisturize it, but the ends are where retaining really comes in. the mn could be making your hair drier. Protect your ends with conditioner. I use shescentit.com's avocado conditioner, but you can use whatever. Just pure moisture. Take a little and put it on your ends each day to seal in moisture. I do that whenever I wasn't using moisture block (moisture block locks in the conditioner, so there's no need). I am not talking leave in conditioner, I'm talking pure moisturizing (no protein) conditioner. Put it on your ends like you would some shea butter or other stuff. It's all I need to retain. I read about it somewhere and the girls hair was super long no joke. Since I've been doing that I always retain my length. Knock on wood. Hope it helps you.
