Hello Ladies, my two-year growth update is overdue (4b/c) 
. I have consistently been on the Komaza plan regimen for 2-years! See this thread for my background & previous updates: http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=675865
So when you read that thread, know my routine has not changed. AO Gpb and castor oil rinses are my babies
. After much contemplation, I incorporated finger detangling last September. It was the final thing that helped me to break through my growth plateau (always stuck at SL-APL but thin/broken). I have not seen a comb since then. I know I said I would do a finger detangle thread, but first I had to see if it would work! Now I can safely say yes, it works, and its doable. Three years ago (2010-2011) my hair was oddly thin and broken down to about an inch in the crown. Regular heat usage, combs, and lack of protein were the culprits. So happy to finally replace my signature.
The signature pic is from 2009. My hair got there by accident (after a long stint w/microbraids), and broke off right after the pic b/c I didn't know how to take care of it. I rejected alot of advice and techniques on Lhcf (like co-wash, lo-poo, protective styling), which was a mistake, but I have definitely learned from it.
Quick regimen: Now I DC on dry hair/water spritzed hair w/ AO gpb, finger detangle while its soaked in DC, lo-poo my roots w/diluted shampoo in an applicator bottle, and finish everything off w/an oil rinse w/castor oil. I slather on my leave in (Komaza Shea Butter Lotion), seal w/Komaza Jojoba Hemp butter then style. I also DC w/Komaza Protein Strengthener once per month or so.
I am now retiring the side-ways signature pic, whew, its been a long time coming. Please excuse the bum pic, I'll try and crop or something when I figure out how. But I wanted to show you all my FIRST OFFICIAL LENGTH CHECK. I have never been able to reach my hair to pull it down b/c of the shrinkage! Now its long enough.

, and it took a lot of practice--- I mean it took me months to get it down. When I FINALLY got it, it was worth it
