I dont really have a set regimen right now. before i was bunning 24/7. My hair was longer but thin and uneven when straight. Now i just wash and go and leave it alone.That's a nice bus to be on! Join us to make it to your next mile stone
Share your regimen, maybe we can help
I have heard mix things about wash and go. For some it makes their hair thrive and others the opposite
Take your time and don't stress. Stress is the worst for our hair. Do some yoga, relax, and come back when you're ready. We'll be here

Maybe stop wash and gos to see if you'll get over the hump to BSL and beyond
Maybe develop a regimen with healthy hair practices to keep yourself on track. If you notice something not working, eliminate it from the regimen
If you need help developing one. Look at the regimens here, Grow It Long 2025, and other threads for inspiration
Happy Growing

Did low heat on flat iron since I wasn't flat ironing all my hair
I created a homemade LC shirt to track progress
The longest lines are the major mile stones. I'll add WL and WHIP when I reach APL to BSL

Hey y'all!
I managed to get a little energy today and I did my regimen. I also did laundry! A LOT of laundry!
I Co-Washed with L'Oreal Dream Lengths Conditioner. It's really good with detangling but it left my hair feeling REALLY strengthened.
So, I counteracted that with the L'Oreal Hyaluron Plump Serum spray and then I went in with Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie (this stuff has NEVER failed me!) and I put my Super Wet gel on top.
I was taking a good look at my hair today in the shower...my medicine cabinet mirror faces the shower so I was able to see myself. My hair is GROWING. And all that talk about thin hair, I think it's because my hair grows as different lengths, which is why it grows in a deep V.
My sides are around APL and the back is BSL/MBL.
I also came to a realization that I've grown my hair to Waist length about 3 times and Hip Length twice and each time something happened when I got stressed out. I found an old post of mine on here where I said so was Hip Length and I forgot about it (I also can barely recall anything that happened in 2021). But I do remember my hair grazing HL for the second time around then.
According to my findings, it takes me 3 years to grow my hair to grazing HL. I am now in the third year of growing my hair from a pixie cut and I'm halfway there! So I'm definitely on track!
