When I have lots of new growth (right before I touch up) my hair gets very thick and tangles when I wash it and I tend to lose some hair while trying to detangle it. Have not really found a solution yet but I am not losing "too" much hair so it's not a big problem.

Trying to maintain uniform thickness from root to tip. My hair is fine so it's really hard for me to maintain a descent amount of thickness. I'm trying to stretch my relaxers to help combat this. I have seen some improvement but I need more time.

overprocessed front edges and nape- i've just realized this (ETA: and so I'm going to have my stylist start applying it to those areas last)
finding my protein/moisture balance- i think i've finally achieved this with my regimen
thickening my hair- this is definitely my biggest issue...still working on it

Stretching, handling my newgrowth. I have some solutions but for the most part detangling once I reach 8 weeks is so hard! My hair looses all traces of silkiness and is a mess all around!

Keeping my ends even is definitely the hardest thing (my hair is always longer on the right side and the middle is very week and sometimes looks like a chunk has been taken out of it...grrr). Keeping my ends thick as my hair gets longer is also a problem. Oh, and how can I forget.....trying to thicken up my thin spot on my hairline......double grrrr).

The worst part of my journey is almost over!!
I had a terrible henna mishap about a year ago and have been gradually cutting it out since. When I was still misinformed I used henna AND synthetic dye (not at the same time) . I only have about an inch left to cut.

Being patient with myself and not just shaving my head again.

I second the being PATIENT part!
I defintely benefit from doing searches and re-reading threads - because my hair and thus its problems have change over the course of my journey.
My most recent challenge was detangling my now shoulder length hair without breakage.
Solution: wash and condition in plaits and then detangle each plait one at a time.

Rollersetting!...which means I still use heat twice a week when I shampoo. But it's NOT EVERYDAY anymore!

1) years of overprocessing have left me with a slight thin/bald spot in the back of my head close to my nape. I am currently massaging mtg,scalp stimulating oils and what not to help it out
2) cutting back on heat use- what fixed this for me was learning how to rollerset; I used to be the girl who curled every morning and now I don't own a curling iron.
3) staying consistent- If I would have stayed consistent this year I prob. would be inching close to arm pit length. I had two dye disasters this year because I didn't speak up for myself at a salon. I had to cut off 3-4 inches each time. I recovered fully this year but I would feel better if I had those 6 inches of hair
4)uneveness and bad ends- what fixed it; being honest with myself when I needed to trim, conditioning more consistently, and I stopped worrying about my hair growing uneven. If it is uneven from growth patterns than don't bother. If it is damage, get a light trim.

The most difficult part of my hair care journey that I've encountered was my 6 month stretch (it was actually 6 months and 3 weeks) 
. I really didn't think I was going to make it but I did. It was so hard washing and detangling all that new growth, I thought all my hair was eventually going to fall out before I made it to my touchup. But in the end it was worth it. My hair was so much thicker and healthier than before; and I really noticed the growth that took place during those months. I don't think I'll ever do a 6 month stretch again though (at least for now). I keep it to 3 months...I know if I did almost 7 months, I can definitely do 3

1. Patience
2. keeping ends as moisturized as my roots
3. Wanting to go natural but (see number 1) is getting in the way
4. My edges need a woopin because they are so unruly compared to the rest of my ng
5. moisture/protein balance

MY HARDEST PART WAS FINDING THE RIGHT PRODUCTS FOR MY HAIR, AND ALSO LIMITING THE AMOUNT OF PRODUCTS I WAS USING. I FOUND THIS TO BE HARD AT FIRST, BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT BRANDS OUT THERE. AND I ALSO HAD A HARD TIME MAKING A GOOD REGIMEN, THAT WOULD WORK WITH ME AND MY SCHEDULE.
