You went from ABOVE armpit length to BELOW armpit length by 2+ inches. Great progress @Napp !!! I'm glad I called you out to say hello. I got to see some ca- yute hair pictures and some inspiring progress. Those ends do look good: silky and smooth!

Thank you for the update. You are solidly on track for 2026.

I hope we get the privilege and honor to see some of those pictures you take.

For some reason, this year im over the whole length check thing. It may be because I already knew in September that my progress wouldn't be picture noticeable. So, I only took 1 picture and I will post that later today.

I've mentally moved on to 2026.

Understood. I will be waiting to see that one picture.

Are we continuing in this thread for 2026?

The left is last December. My hair is flat ironed and I dont think it was long enough to pull for a length check.

The right is yesterday. My hair is blown dry but not flat ironed. If flat ironed I think it would have been close to the 1st line. But the right side is shorter.

The layers above are between nape and shoulder.

I have a more solid regimen now so Im optimistic for 2026.

Are you ready for that gorgeous afro-textured hair of yours to flourish?
Then you are at the right place!
It's time to focus on those Luscious Ends!


Yes, hair does grow from the scalp. BUT it's those Luscious Ends that determine Length, and Healthy Length at that...​

December 2025 Update:
Posted January 12th, 2026

How are you progressing?
I keep my hair braided and the ends oiled and rolled up, per usual. I undo the braids to re-moisturize. I have not trimmed it since June.

What are those ends looking like?
My ends need a trim but they are moisturized for now and rolled up/balled up and protected.

Have you had any epiphanies?
I love my braids and think they are cute!

Have you set bolder goals?
No. Went back to my monthly wash schedule.

Have you pulled back on some goals?
No, not really. Just a re-affirmation to stick with clay cleansing and keeping my hair braided so it does not get matted.

Have you had any realizations about your hair or your hair care practices?
I think my braids are beautiful. I enjoy them and they fit right in my current lifestyle.

How is your consistency?
I am quite consistent in keeping my hair protected. I use my fingers to detangle when I re-do my braids. I don't keep my hair covered at night and I want to go back to that. I also want to go back to oiling my hair at night. Got to get back to my fenugreek oil. I really like that oil. It feels good and smells good in my hair and it creates an opportunity for me to enjoy my hair and make time for me.

Extending grace to you?
Most times.
