This is an 18th month comparison. My hair looks the same length to me. But, I know it's longer in the April 2019 photo. If you look at the ends in the 2019 photo, there is more hair or length in the curl. My hair does not hang as it gets longer. It hangs at the same length unless I pull it.

Here's another April 15th, 2019 photo where I am pulling my braid. I can see the length I've gained. Also, the braid is getting thicker at the new length:

Hair on point and skin on point too! I can see the difference in your skin from you reducing your sugar intake. Just beautiful all around....inside and out!

Thank you:sneakyhug: to you :infatuated: for noticing and for letting me know! :blush: I love hearing that the whites of my eyes are brighter! :)
 
I finally measured my hair. Below are the results.

Bang: 9"
Left side (below temple): 10.5"
Right side (below temple): 10.5"
Top Crown: 10"
Back Crown: 9"
Nape: 8.5"

My hair grows in layers. It seems my stylist evened out my hair a bit back in March. This Saturday will be my last appointment for a while. My goal is to take care of my ends, minimize my shedding, and retain as much length as possible.

From the bottom of my nape to BSL is 16"; to WSL is 18"; to TBL is 24"; and to Classic is 34". With my growth rate of an average 0.5" per month, I will hopefully gain 4", barring any setbacks. I will not reach BSL this year, but I will be close.

On another note: I finally have 5lbs of Shea butter coming my way :bdance:

I’m mad at myself that I let it get this far. :eek:In my defense, both of my preferred suppliers were out. :cry3:Luckily enough, I have a jar of Shea mix to carry me through. :abducted:

I feel you. I had to do what needed to be done though. Keeping all my bills paid up and whatnot. Hadn’t bought any Shea Butter for well over 2-3 weeks. My hair had a straight up fit. It’s still not up to par with its softness, but it’s calming down now.
 
I’m still maintaining my blowout from 3/29 for my sisters wedding on 3/30. I use macadamia oil and now pin curl in 6 nightly. I don’t recommend my process but I always maintain my straight style for 30 days but this time I’m treating my split ends. I didn’t recurl w/ heat but below is my left back quadrant.

The color, the shine, the thickness, the length: UNREAL.
It MUST be Shea butter.
Gorgeous!​

Your hair looks amazing. You can definitely tell the quality (length thickness and more) has definitely improved greatly!!

I really appreciate your tip about not going to get a cut until AFTER you have surpassed your length goal because then story stylist always want to “even up” your hair. It’s one of the reasons I always tell them don’t worry and to cut my hair in layers - makes them cut less. Last time I got a deeper cut because my stylist was trying to blend with my crown which is shorter because of some breakage I hadn’t experienced. Now I am slowly and lovingly growing that section out as the rest of my hair is continually reaching for new lengths. Thanks for all your great insights Chicoro!! They really do help take understanding and care of my hair to the next level

Thank you!
 
Why is it that the first thing kids do when they sneak into your stuff is put it in their hair?

My 18 month old was having him a good ole time in my Shea butter. Rubbed it in and everything :lachen:

How could he resist the creaminess and the delectable scents you create with the Shea? :lol:
How could you do that to him, Mom?:p
