Well, I got my touchup today. Everything went well, except that my stylist got cute on me and cut off more than I wanted!!
I was also mad cuz he said my ends look beat up!!! I guess if I'm being really honest about it, he was right. I did have those dreaded see-thru ends, but you know I was trying to hold on to 'em!!!
He didn't cut off much on the front & sides, cuz I told him I'm trying to get my hair to be all one length. He said, Oh, you can do that in about 3 months if you cut the back... I said OHHHH NO!! That's quite alright. When the sides catch up with the length the back is now, THEN I'll cut it all even!! He must be
!!!! Anyway, as a result of this, my hair looks to still be the same length it was at my last touchup!! Oh well. At least my ends should look a little thicker now.
But there goes my summer growth challenge!!
I was hoping to see some progress but so much for that!! I guess i can also count out reaching my goal of bra-strap length by my b-day. I'm gonna try to step up my vitamin regimen - maybe there's still hope for that.
On a more positive note, one of the stylists at the salon noticed how much my hair has grown and asked me what I've been doing different. So I started telling her about the deep conditioning, protein treatments, and twist-outs and she was really impressed!! She looked like she was taking mental notes.
OH another thing that pissed me off was that my stylist said "You women kill me; you all want to grow your hair but don't want to do it the right way." So I was like "HUH??? What is the right way?? He said "Getting regular trims" I said OK, I know that but you want to trim off all the growth I've gotten since the last trim, so how am I supposed to achieve any length???" He claimed he was talking about trimming only 1/16" of the 1/4" we get per month. I was like "WHATEVER, MAN!!!"
So I came home feeling a little discouraged, but I'm not gonna let it stop me from pressing on to reach my goals.
