Hello Ladies,
I have refrained from asking for help for so long but I am truely at my wits end. I have not seen any serious length retention in 2 years. My hair should be MBL by now.
I will say that I this change in my progress coincided with my two surgeries during my Sophmore year of college. I also started to have alopecia patches after that (two). Still, the patches grew back and the rest of my hair should continue to grow. My hair has always been thin and fragil, so I have always had some sort of breakage (I honeslty think my hair is too thin to aviod it all together). I am natural and wear my hair in a bun all the time (or I just put a scarf over my plaits and go). In January of this year I was optimistic, and thought if I did XYZ I would see growth (DC, protein, protective style, MTG). Now another year has passed and I see everyone elses progress and it just gets me so down. I have been on this board going on 6 years...
This is the only things I can think of doing:
-continue with my egg shake (everyday, started 1 month ago)
-continue with Shen Min vitamins or Andrew Lessman (started Shen Min 1 month ago)
-continue with iron pills (I am a little low on iron)
-Crown and Glory method for the year
If anyone else has any insight please contribute. I feel like I get breakage even though I DC once a week, co-wash once a week, and use Deep Protein when needed to keep my hair strong. I am honestly starting to loose faith in growing my hair.
I am around APL right now.
Thank you in advance!!!
