SL 2014

Most of my hair is between EL (crown) and NL. By the end of December I think most of my hair will be NL so I will claim it then. My necks pretty long so its going to take me all of 2015 to get to SL.
 
I've been gone for a little bit, due to some personal issues but I am back!!! I used my stress as an excuse to not take care of my hair :-( After I wash my hair I'll post pictures.

thank you lady! Yes I am. I posted this pic for my starting length. I am going to try to use my length check shirt for now on. This will help better with seeing where I'm at. You see what I gotta go through to grow out this cut!

Yes you've got that full angle thing going on :yep:

The length check shirt definitely helps. I have one. Maybe next year this time I can put mine on :yep:
 
I've been doing weekly S&Ds since my setback last October. I will be so glad to be completely out of that phase :yep: It makes wash day so long. But my ends are getting better. I can see an improvement when I finger detangle.

With the MHM my moisture is getting better, so I can make it from wash day to wash day without my hair drying out.

I'm hoping with the combination of increased moisture and increase length I can get better retention and then move back to 2x a week washing in the near future. I was doing 2x a week washing earlier this year but I just got burned out due to the time it was taking me to style. Now I can style my hair in 45 minutes and I just don't feel like being bothered :lol:

I've had so many setbacks in the past few years I think I'm a little anxious. So for the next 8 weeks I just need to keep a steady schedule and chill.

Lawd, I'm trying :lol: If I weren't dating I would have shaved it. I think I'm finally over my rough patch. I will know by December.

I that was the only reason I talked myself off of the hair chopping ledge! Lol did the analysis really help you get to the bottom of things?

The analysis told me what was wrong but it didn't tell me how to fix it. They made suggestions on how to fix it but it didn't work.

It wasn't a waste of money because I knew something was wrong but not what. I would have never guessed the problem.

I wonder if this is what I have to do is weekly s&d bc i get splits easily and it causes knots and tangles. Either that or dust every month.

Yes stick to your steady routine and you will be fine. No more set backs for you! :-)

I wanted to buy some Alma oil. Anybody got any advice on that? I wanted to use it to darken my hair over time.

I will sometimes use it as a prepoo. How are you going to use it? As a sealer? Never got the darkening effect but then again I dont use it consistent. I mostly have used amla powder to condition. No darkening effect there.

The ladies in the coffee, tea, powders challenge have experience with amla use if you want in depth responses.

Most men don't understand hair because they usually don't have any :lol: They usually have to be trained to accept certain parts of the process. They may not like it but if they understand that in the end they may get what they want, they tend to be more cooperative or at least keep their mouth closed.

faithVA and HairPleezeGrow my SO just wants it long. The other day he just advised me to never cut it again. He wants that but doesn't understand protective styling. SMH. I will say that I roller set it the other day and he liked that. So maybe the key is to just slap some rollers in.

Its very common. Do what's best for you and bring him along as gently as possible.
 
Hair feels good today! And it is styled nice and neat. I just keep a scarf on at home. Washing my hair tomorrow. Frequent washing really helps me out tremendously.
