New Member - NEED ADVICE

[KeraQueen]

Came across this site yesterday, and decided to join straight away!!!! My hair is generally healthy, about 7inches at its longest point. (was about half of that 6 months ago!).

I don't have any problem with getting my hair to this length, but it usually gets a couple of inches longer than this then just stops!!!! IS IT SOMETHING I'M DOING/ NOT DOING?

My routine is as follows:

- relax using elasta QP regular about every 6-7 weeks
- wash once every week using KeraCare hydrating shampoo
- have just started deep conditioning EVERY wash - i use leKair with an egg added and just sit with a plastic cap under a towel for about an hour and a half
- i wrap my hair and use a dryer
- wrap hair after spraying with organic root stimulator olive oil spray if needed.
- i moisturise a little everyday with KeraCare creme conditioner
- and finally, i tong my hair probably every 3-4 days.

I always get complimented on the health of my hair, but it just gets 'stuck' at this certain length.

I am British (Black), so i don't know whether the versions of the products we get here are any different?!

also, i don't know if the lack of sun has an effect

ADVISE ME PLEASE

Welcome to the forum.

It's good to c another keracare lover, when i intially saw your name i thought keracare, i see y u chose it

and your regimen looks fine, great actually.
Now, speaking for experience, I too believed that my hair got to a certain length and than stopped. This baffled me for years and years to the point where i would cut my hair every summer into the latest short style b/c i was accustomed to it (i still have inklings to do a summer cut

). But truth be told your hair can and will grow as long as you continuously take care of it and treat it with TLC. Here's a pic of me in October 2001.

My av is my current length. Trust me, Your hair WILL grow! I can attest to that.

Welcome girl.

I too think your regime is good. Just keep it up. I use the think that my hair wouldn't go further than my shoulders so I got use to it. But when it grew an inch away from my bra strap I saw the light.

Then I went and cut it in layers, go figure

Your hair will grow just be patient.

Thanks sweetie.

And you said it yourself, your hair is already healthy AND you get the compliments so all you have to do is keep it up. Don't listen to stylist telling you you need your ends trimmed when you don't. If your ends are not split, they don't need to b clipped (hey, that rhymed...go me, go me

)

CP - that was at a birthday dinner at the twins house and yes, it is from my lost files collection
