Ur sooooo right. I knew that she was doing damage to my hair. I wish I would have listened to my gut. When I walked in she was running around all crazy. I could tell she was new. Something told me to just leave because I knew she had over booked herself. Thank you again for your post. I am sure she does not even remember me today while I was up all night thinking about a possible setback.

I mixed up a pre-poo with half a bottle of DR Organics manuka honey protein conditioner, Roux PC, carrot oil, avocado oil and HOT 6 oil I'm in love, my hair was so soft it felt like butter, detangled with such ease and hardly any hair loss, I loved it so much I mixed up the other half 
Right now I'm doing my protein DC which will be followed by a moisture DC, after an hour I will coat in oil to seal for another hour and then air dry in a braided bun. My hair better be grateful for this day long treat.

coolsista-paris Your hair is looking great, I'm glad you're finding things that are working for you, it can be so difficult when your hair can't take much manipulation. Keep up the good work

I think I almost got an inch of growth last month just by being consistent with everything. Water, vitamins, no heat, ps, m&s, dc, and sulphur mix.
I can't exactly say which one is the most beneficial, but it's encouraging enough to keep it up. I can't wait to see how far I'll get if I don't slack off this year! Maybe even waist length, who knows? I'm pretty excited, I haven't seen any progress in a year due to my own negligence. Can't wait for the end of the year to get here!

Total newbie here! Hi all
I'll be celebrating 2 YRS NATURAL on August 4, 2012..I won't be doing a length check until then (my own personal challenge)
So as of right now, I only have an 'idea' of how long my hair actually is.
To reach MBL would be an absolute dream..count me in, I think I can make it there by the beginning of next year.Hopefully right on time for my bday (Jan 12). Right, so down to business..
Current Length=*Full APL?
Current State of Hair=*Natural
Regimen=*clarify/cleanse my hair 2x a month
*Deep Condition as needed
*CoWashing as needed
*Low Manipulation styling with a sprinkling of Protective styling
Goals for each check-in date=
*March 31st, 2012..Made it to APL
*August 31st..Grazing BSL
*December 31st..Full BSL
*April 30 2012..grazing MBL
*August 15, 2013..Full MBL
*December 31, 2013..WL?? (maybe)
What month in 2013 you hope to be at MBL=
*August 2013
Good Luck to us all!
Riiiight. So a feeeeew changes, lol! Surprisingly I made MBL last month just as I'd hoped. However, my ends were trashy so I had 3-4 inches cut.
Now I'm back up above my bra strap, soo BSB right? I'm giving myself 6 months to get back to MBL. (Starting from Jan) So I'm gonna shoot for July 2013.
I'm following the Curly Girl Method now, and it's done wonders for my hair!!
Just sticking to low manipulation for styling.
Braidouts are my staple style.

Checking In:
I received the results of my hair analysis this week and many of the things that were my tried and true methods have turned out to be bad for my hair.
My daily cowashing has not been the best thing for my hair, in fact Jenn said that my hair was angry. I've been told that the water being on my hair so frequently has been causing my cuticles to open to rid itself of the excess and fray from having to be open so often. Jenn shared that I should focus on washing weekly and to rinse infrequently during the week if I'm wanting to get sweat off my scalp. I don't think I'll even be rinsing like that. What sux is that I love cowashing because it feels great but it's not worth the possibility of making my hair even more fragile than what it is.
My hair needs protein treatments every two weeks and the moisture will come from misting my hair daily with a water based leave in and sealing with EVCO.
I was advised that if I braid my hair up that I should braid bigger because the manipulation causes mid shaft splits, which I have plenty of. Jenn reassured me that mss were typical to have but they're still an ugly sight, especially magnified.
I need to cut a half an inch and dust from there, every eight weeks. Jenn gave me a lot of great tips but I wanted to share the quick and dirty version instead of going on and on.
So, I will be taking my braids down soon and trimming that half inch, my spirit is hurting but I have to do what needs to be done. From there, I will up the protein treatments and find a style that will allow me to start using Jenn's recommendations. She encouraged me by saying that I will notice a tremendous difference in 90 days … we shall see.
I hope you all are doing well …
ETA: Received my written results and yes, I need to d/c after using protein. Guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow.

i found out on my own ...only 4 years after big.chop the things jenn stated. i know retain by:
-dusting everything 8-12 weeks
-if i braid they should be bigger braids
-i protein dc every 2 weeks
-between washed i moisturize With scurl and seal or dont sometimes (i really listen to my hair and do whatever functionning on the feeling of.my hair)
-i personnaly bun my hair. my fine hair doesnt like twists and all.those natural ps...(that ive been doing since bc oh my....)
-i dont co wash between washes.
-as i dont use à lot of products i can go 10-14 days without washing .
everything jenn stated to you is working for me. i hope you'll get great résults.
last year was the first year i retained Well. my fine hair is finally touching bsl. at last!
oh and i only wear my hair down like 4 times à year. if i reach my final goal ill stop all that bunning 24/7 .... k wanna rock this hair!.
im now gonna try rollersetting this year (last year i blow.dried on.médium with tension method and my hair was great)... im gonna.try and see if there is à diffèrence with rollersets(its not direct heat ive heard)

My hair has been straight for about three weeks now. Going to do Bantu knots to combat some of the frizz. Hoping to make it through February.
