I'm so tired of my hair.... I've been blow drying every week. Which is okay for me but I'm ready to put it up via braids or weave. I think I'm going with braids but I don't want it to stink.

soldier4hair blow drying every week can not be good. what is wrong with your hair being in it's natural state? and why would your hair stink in braids if you are washing them?

Here's the pics. I wasn't feelin it. Its not as long as i thought it would be. It seems thicker. I paid $60 to look like something i couldve done myself.

The experience wasn't so great. They suggested i get a texturizer. Um. No. I was just so paranoid. My hair looks....meh.
 
SmilingElephant you look like you are not feeling it but it looks nice. maybe you should have went with the one you talk with. so I hope you are over your straight hair now and get back to your curls lol. I never look as long as I think I am either but it is growing you know that. That is why I did a good trim because I just thought it really wasn't going to make a difference in my length.

but now you know, right?
 
SmilingElephant our hair has been about the same length and like you may hair appears to be the same length as in december... I'm just hoping that this 'stall' doesn't interfere with achieving WL by the end of the year. Your hair looks great by the way:grin:

Im sayin!! Have u noticed your hair thickening tho? I think mine has gotten thicker. I hope this summer it decides to grow longer.
 
SmilingElephant Your hair looks pretty, it is full BSL even with some texture. Sometimes It is harder to get curly type 3 hair bone straight than it is to get type 4 hair that way. Wrap it with some oil and it will get straighter, plus have the bounce you want.

Lol thanks :blush: However from the back, I feel it's getting close enough to just claim grazing WL...because when I swing my hair around to the front I'm nowhere near it. It seems so unofficial when its not evident from the front...:perplexed

Incrediblehairgirl your hair is not going to fall the same length in the back as in the front because of our boobs and because you are bringing it forward so you are losing some inches with the come around the neck and all but we can see what you can not see and it is your curves where you waist starts. you are wl believe us. your waist may not be where you think it starts it is at that first curve on the side and you can see it best from the back. and everyone's is different

Oh ok! I hadn't thought about that...that makes so much sense. Thank so much for the feedback... So exciting to know I've reached WL!!
 
I need to do something to jumpstart my growth. I've been taking prenatal vitamins everyday for about a month now, im trying to stay consistent.

I dont understand why im having a stall like this.

SmilingElephant I'm relaxed so I can see that my hair is growing. ..but like you I'm not seeing that length at the ends. ..maybe it's the curve of the back or something that's giving the illusion of a stall.

Nix08 idk. I have scoliosis too, i got all kinds of curves in my back lol..maybe thats why it looks like it hasn't grown? I just could have sworn that i was about an inch past MBL.

Maybe i should do progress pics in a bra?
 
IA, SmilingE. Your hair wasn't fully stretched. Did you do a pull test?

I feel the same way sometimes and I learned that my hair seems to thicken first and then lengthen. Maybe yours is going to lengthen this summer like you hope it will! :)
 
I just did a pull test with my bra on. I guess it did get longer. I trimmed a quarter inch off yesterday so right now its right below my bra strap.

Its growing on me. Ive been swinging it all day. I have been wrapping it with oil and that helps. It even had some bounce to it today. :-)

So i guess there's still hope that i will claim WL this year.

Thanks ladies for the encouragement :)
 
SmilingElephant girl me too. I don't care how long my hair gets it never seems long. I keep moving my goal further down and down lol. I am just over my bra I knew it from the trim I did the other night.

SmilingElephant I am scared to get my hair straighten.. what is the name of the dominican conditioner that you are using?
Click to expand...

For me, it wasn't a ton of heat like i thought it would be. Even after she blew out my hair it still wasn't straight so she had to flat iron it some. I hope i don't have too much damage.

I like to use Silicon Mix Bambu and Suela y Canela when i can get my hands on it.

But that MX Puring conditioner she used had my mouth watering lol! Lots of cones were used so i doubt i got a ton of damage. My hair is already trying to revert.
 
Its really growing on me tho. My hair actually is starting to feel like its really long. Especially since i trimmed my ends and it flows a lot better.

So i guess i can say im scraping MBL? I guess by December I'll be scraping WL. Im just glad my hair is pretty healthy.
