I'm at neck length now. My cut was really short! It was ear length on the sides. It's growing out to where I don't mind wearing my hair out now. So I will be in this challenge for awhile. My hair likes heat too. I plan on washing twice a week as usual since I'm going to get back to working out.

Very nice shortdub. Thick too...
 
Well I'm back to wigging it lol. Need to hide my hair for a bit. I was going to get a sew in but I got all these darn wigs lying around I better use them lol. So my hair is braided up and wig applied.

Your hair looks so healthy and thick.

I want two more inches before I start wearing my hair out. I'll start going back to the salon every 2 weeks for a roller wrap set once I'm full NL.

Thank you and it is very healthy right now! That's why I don't wanna try or do anything stupid! Ya'll know I am known for doing something stupid and causing a setback.
 
I put in a hair wrap today. Well, you know that lovely thing called shrinkage is always active when your hair is dry. Well my hair ends right before that coin. Lol I love shrinkage, but I wasn't expecting my hair to be that long. The piece begins almost an inch above my ear. The wrap isn't at the root either.

Wow you do have some major shrinkage!
 
I bought my daughter two bundles of Mercy ' s hair kinky curly in 3bc 14 & 16 inches. It came yesterday and was extremely dark for her hair color. When she was younger her hair used to be a #6-8 (color in weave) but as she got older it has darken a tad and is a number 4. Anyway hair came out really nice. I used 4 box dyes (2 med brown and 2 ash brown) mixed them together. I used my own 30 volume developer (poured the box ones out) and let the hair sit for about an hour. The one that came out a bit darker actually sat longer than the other bundle so I'm not sure how that happened. Also i hate the smell when you use color bc it lingers and I dk how to get rid of it.

Before and after

I'm not making much progress and still trying to get to neck length. I had some major breakage in the back so I'm just going to have to be patient.

I want to do a rollerset on Wednesday to at least capture the little progress I do have. I will post pics if it doesn't frizz up due to the heat.
 
ladies how often do you trim your hair? i keep putting off trimming and i haven't in the six months since i got my hair cut will it really set me back if i am constantly protective styling and my ends are not exposed they seem fine to me...i am just on the fence of trimming so it can be even at this point.

I try to go a few months without trimming but if I notice my ends need it I will trim. What you could do is trim when you take your PS down and b4 you out the next one in. And when I say trim I really mean more like dusting bc if your ends aren't exposed you really don't need a trim per say but it's good to keep your ends healthy. Some ladies don't trim at all or only trim twice a year so it truly depends on your hair, your preference, and you.
 
HairPleezeGrow This sounds like a good idea. We have so much hair anorexia that we try to hold onto battered ends chasing a length goal. We need help. We are PJ's and length fiends.

Dusting 1/4" every 4 - 6 weeks

I think I'll really go ahead and trim that way I will have a fresh start for the rest of the challenge I want nice thick ends once I reach shoulder length..thank you
 
You ladies are so true and I love you for it. I need to trim these scraggly ends...sigh so I'm not claiming sl anymore not until it looks good too.
 
Today's my birthday!
Here's my length check! I need a touch up in the last pic, I have about an inch of new growth so u can't see much of a difference.
