Hey guys,
You are the first to know that I am now closer to meeting my bra strap by September goal! I was at almost 18 inches when I started my journey back on April 20th. Well, I'm at 20 now. It's been a while since my last touch up April 17th, and my hair is still kind of krinkly at the roots. I just co washed and dried (w/ heat)and then used a curling iron to straighten (I used low heat). I know that's a nono.
But I treated myself after two months of ponytail, braid, and bantu sets. I had been feeling kind of depressed about my hair b/c I had just taken out my cornrows( in for two weeks)and shed like mad. I was sure my hair was in bad shape. After a few deep conditioning sessions, I decided that if my hair was going to be in bad shape, it's gonna at least look fly. WOah, I was shocked when I got a mirror and looked at the back when I was done. My hair was still full looking, and it even seemed a lil bit longer. Did my eyes decieve me? I got out the measuring tape. After fumbling awhile, I measure 20 1/4 inches. I did have to trim that 1/4 inch off. But I am close to bra strap which for me is 22 inches. I am so thankful to y'all for all the tips and inspiration!!!!
