This is not a trend....
In 2010 I experienced a really bad kitchen beautician, I got a simple press and curl and the lady FRIED my hair! After that it started breaking off, it was dead. In that time I had pretty long hair it was below BSL and this was before I knew about going natural and about LHCF, I have always been natural my whole life so I did not have to deal with any relaxers or chemicals and I did get my hair flat ironed about every 4 months.
So anyways after this incident where my hair was fried(in 2010) I just kind of left my hair alone, back then I use to use A LOT of grease and that was pretty much it, I also washed my hair very infrequently. So by 2012 my hair had long since stopped shedding and it actually was pretty healthy, I still had straight ends from the dead hair but I did not cut them, it was time for senior portaraits so I wanted length. My hair seemed pretty healthy I got it flat ironed for my pictures and it was a good shoulder length but my thickness was back like it was before I started having all of that breakage.
Now fast forward to 2013 the behinning of college I got Senegalese twists because I was in a new climate and did not know how to deal eith my hair, I kept those in for about 3 months when I took them out my thickness was great my hair seemed pretty healthy I was still pretty much at the same SL and I still have some straight ends. I get my hair flat ironed and I keep it for about 2 weeks I also do a little dusting of my ends begore I wash my hair. After this I get loc extensions which I keep for about 2 months, I take these out and get my hair flat ironed, again pretty much the same length and straight ends, i keep my press for 2 weeks and then wash and comdition my hair, this time I deep confition and blow out my hair and get Senegalese twists again which I keep for a month and a half. When I took them out I wash condition my hair. This is the present I have been conscious of LHCF for years but now I'm really health conscious of my hair, my goal is WL hair. Since I have not flat ironed my hair I can't get the most accurate length check but it does not seem like it has grown that much.
I'm just wondering after about 6 months of protective styling why my hwir is not retaing a good amount of length especially since it was such low manipulation. I now do the LOC method, cowash 1-2x a week and deep condition weekly. Why am I not retwining length? Before that incident in 2010 my hair would just grow with just grease. What's going on? If I would not have had that incident I would have waistlength hair with ease but now I can't get my hair padt SL.
