Thanks for attaching the full picture. I always thought all your hair was in a ponytail. I didn’t realize it was more half up half down.

But it’s still super long and lush and full and my dream hair.

You are welcome and thank you for the compliment. I think with your current focus, clarity and understanding you are well on your way to this length.

I reset my hair today instead of yesterday. I'm going to try to stick to Saturdays, so I feel like I'm not so rushed on Sunday night.

I purchased the Prose shampoo and conditioner, which is based on a questionnaire. I read so many things on line, I can't remember what convinced me to try it. But I received it mid-week and tried it today. The first thing I like about it is it is fragrance free. I really like my other shampoo but it makes my eyes tear so bad that I dread using it.

I cleanses twice with the shampoo since I only cleansed once last week. Then I followed with the conditioner. My initial impression is that I like it. I can't explain it but my hair looked cleaner. I know! I can't explain it (lol). The conditioner has me thinking I have been using too heavy of a conditioner all along. The conditioner is light and it doesn't really coat the hair like my other conditioners. But it left my hair very soft. Supposedly your hair gets better with the use of these products, so I will try to use these primarily until they are gone.

After that I applied the Mielle leave-in and the KCCC and put my hair into bantu knots while I cooked dinner. Then I put in my 2 strands.

On my hair I can feel splits. I'm not sure if that is because my hair is fine. But I can touch my strands and tell where I have splits and where I don't. The back of my hair is the worst because it is fine and it is various lengths. From my ears forward where my length is, my ends are good. From my ears back it is another world. I don't foresee getting out of splitsville with the back until the crown grows out another 3 inches and I can start to even my hair out. But I do expect that with each trim, that it should get better. In the meantime I will clip the splits I find as I twist.

I'm going to try to keep my hair in 2 strands at least through the end of March and then try flat twists after that to give myself a break. Will try anyway.
