I've been on a hair journey since Wanakee introduced her hair products and decades later, I'm here feeling disappointed that I've never reach my goal of bra strap hair. I'm almost five years natural and my hair isn't growing as fast as I thought it should be. I journal my journey and I predicted that my hair should be collar-bone by year five, instead, I'm stuck at, the best, neck length. I've done everything possible to retain hair length, deep condition under steamer, use the LOC method, handle my hair only when damp etc. The only thing I can think of is maybe I handle my hair too much. I install bantu knots every week so that I can wear a curly fro to work but that's it. Maybe my lack of growth is due to my age. I'm mid 50s so that might be the issue. Anyone here have the same problem? Please share.
