No. Because I had extensive damage (heat, etc)...not to mention very uneven hair (trusting hair salons back then).
Now I'm just starting to see healthier hair and 'some' growth.
Congrats.You are like me. The uneven hair seems to take forever to fix. Especially when it is not uneven on purpose like with cut layers. I don't think I have really been concentrating on too much length and more on just getting my hair balanced out and back to normal.
Like you, I just started really seeing progress, according to my standards anyway. But over the years I have gotten soooooo many compliments on my hair. Something I never really got in the past.
This thread is for those who have been on this forum for 2 years or more. I've been here a little over 2 years. I'm just wondering if you have reached your goal length with success, I don't think I've reached my first goal of APL but I am thisclose in my estimation and how long did it take you to reach it. My husband stretched my hair in the back and *he* said that I'm already at "The Pit" (APL)...I haven't flatironed to check the length for myself yet because I want to stick to my personal goal of one year of no heat used in my regimen, but if he's right then it only took me 8 months to grow from SL to APL.
What were your setback if any? Yes I only had one setback (braids disaster )
Also if you haven't reach your goal, can you please explain why you think so. My first year here I was quite the PJ/bandwagoner/inconsistent regimen. Once I simplified my regimen and became consistent with my haircare is when I started noticed nice hair growth retention
I went from shoulder length to bra clasp length in 14 months, and that was with two big cuts.
My goal was always to have bra stap hair thick and healthy.
I reached it but not thick like I wanted it and I was also transitioning from relaxed bone straight to texturized which I am still in the process.
I cut my hair a lot in the last 2 years.
My biggest struggle was and still is finding the right combination of hair products and dealing with hard water in my area--my hair hates it
BUT overall-I learned to how retain length and self-relax
I've been here since the beginning. Quit. Came back. Reached my goals, had set backs, cut it, reached my goals again, on my way to another goal.... it's been a curvy winding ride It took about 2.5 years to reach my goals.
