Okay ladies, my two year LHCF anniversary is coming up on Valentine's Day and assessing my progress over the past two years, I see that my haircare regimen has changed dramatically - my hair is much healthier and stronger than before. I've gone from above-SL to below-SL, but I'm *still* inches away from APL (arm pit length, for the newbies ) Now a part of me says that I shouldn't be upset because I haven't been really hardcore about getting to APL -- I protective style only about 50% of the time (and usually I'm not even really protective-styling -- just being lazy about styling in general). But, I stay away from heat (except for the occasional curling iron to my bangs, I only use heat for dc'ing or rollersets) and limit my trims. I also have added apple cider tablets and fish oil pills to my daily regimen. So at least I'm getting more nutrients. (I was drinking ACV for a while, but I was worried about my teeth so I stopped.) I baggy and do my best to baby my ends. I limit comb usage. (I mostly finger comb my hair and use a wide bristle brush when necessary.)
Is this just part of my hair growing pains? Or should I get really severe with my routine and focus only on length (not style or whatever) to get over this hump?
