I've seen lots of pics of beautiful hair. It seems that except for those who how have done the BC most of you ladies had beginning lengths that I have never achieved. Is it really possible to achieve apl hair when I've never had shoulder length? I've rarely achieved chin length? In the past I never cared for my hair I usually become frustrated with breakage and slow growth and chop it off. Usually on the advice of hairdressers. Is there anyone out there who has overcome short, damaged, slow growing hair to achieve more length than they ever thought possible?
I have only started my 'haircare journey' since late March/April of this year and I am already seeing results.
Like you, I had never really taken care of my hair; also, I have never really been much past shoulder length.
I just have to keep reminding myself to be VERY PATIENT.
I have to get out of the habit of looking at my haiir in the mirror every single *ruddy* day and stretching my hair (I have 5 months of new growth)... It's like watching paint dry!
Ofcourse, you can reach APL, even if you've never been shoulder length... especially if you stop cutting your hair
.
There are plently of women on the forum who have never been past shoulder length reaching APL, BSL, MBL and beyond!
I think the key is retaining the length you achieve... and I think the key to that is mosture, moisture, moisture, protein, protecting your hair and low manipulation!
Good luck, HHG and soon you'll be looking back at this post having achieved milestones you never thought you would ever reach!
Just be patient!
