Me and Mommy made it to Sydney with no problems!!! We arrived at 6 am AUS time. It's currently 11:52pm here but it's 9:52 am (ATL time), so my sleep cycle is going to be all off for this next week!

BTW, I wore a beanie (with my rollers underneath) and no one was none the wiser!! :yep: :yep: :yep: It's unseasonably cool today. The Aussies promise it will be warmer tomorrow. There is NO humidity, so I expect to have a great hair week!

@Janet' Glad to hear you made it there safely and with hair in tact! :lol:

@bebezazueta and @GettingKinky I love seeing both you ladies hair. It's so thick, black, and lush!

As for me, my hair grew about .5" to 1" this past month. I am here for it. By December I want most of it to be at or close to the 12" mark to be back where it was before I cut 2" in August.

That's a really fast growth rate! My hair only grows 0.4" a month.
 
Great post.
How is this Ryler rollers better than the regular rollerset in terms of stretch?

Hey Y'aaaaaaaaaaalll

So I haven't posted on here for a long time and I have a good reason for that. I moved to South Korea! :lots:I already had planned to move this year but I didn't think I was going to go as soon as I did! So yeah, I've been busy settling and what not but I've been here for almost three months and I have some good news and bad news about my hair!

So here are the good things and bad things South Korea/Moving to South Korea has done to my hair

Good Things- :love3:
  • I eat seaweed almost every day! I eat rice rolls often which is wrapped in seaweed and I eat rice that has seaweed bits that are already in it.
  • I wear my hair up EVERY DAY during the week. I would probably never be able to do that back home (I like wearing my hair down just a liiiiittle bit:biggrin:) but it's more because I have to....cuz y'all this humidity on another level....i just.....I can't. So yeah, i pretty much do protective styling every day.

Bad things-:nono:
  • At first I was really stressed so I know that couldn't have been good for the body and I wasn't talking aaaaaany vitamins or supplements. Now I found a women's multivitamin and I'm going to go back to take some biotin and MSM that I brought from the U.S.
  • So humidity usually means more moisturized hair but idk maneeee....it makes my hair frizz which is whatever i guess but it makes it DRY TOO!! That's what I have a problem with. So I'm just counting down the days until fall. Because of this dryness I've been trimming my ends very often which sucks :/

Despite all the bad I swear my hair has grown (retained length)!!! Which I'm really surprised...I think it's the seaweed :lol:Here's a comparison of a photo that I posted here from April and a photo I took last week. Both are the same style (ryler styler rollers set that's plaited at night) But yeah one step closer to being waist length/under the boob with a braid out/set :trampoline:


Changes I want to make: I want to eat healthier, go back to taking supplements daily, moisturize/baby my ends nightly, and start exercising.

Hopefully I'll be able to do another update either this week or next week!


*my pants were unbuckled in the pictures so that's the bulge in my shirt, just in case ya nosey :yep: lol and I didn't have time to crop my face in the last one so y'all gon deal

The new Surge, an oil mix from youtube topically. Internally, I have been taking my prescribed high dose of D3, iron, and Beautifully Bamboo pills and drinking the bamboo tea. We'll see. Even though my growth was good this month, my hope for long term results/growth is like "meh." Been there, done that.
 
Yet another new routine lol

Cowash daily, microfiber towel dry, add leave in & gel. Style: ponytail or bun


Shampoo, DC/Condition, heat protectant, blow dry & straighten


Basically going to try to wear straight hair once a month now since it's cooling down (+ I love the half up half down style). Never again will I straighten or blow dry in the summer.

Straightening on October 16th, November 20th, December 18th. Will trim one of these dates
 
Setting under dryer now with dc SSI Riche Moisture Masque.
Will roller set after.

This month marks my 3 year nappy anniversary. And during this time I gave birth two times. A boy and a girl.

My hair ain't grow at all last year after my boy came out.
Anywho I will do a pull test to see where I'm at.

Started my week of inversions today since only lord knows how long.

Pre-poo'd overnight with AVJ spritz & Kyra Shea Buttercream on ends.
DC'd with Aunt Jackie's In Control for 6.5 hours under plastic cap & 1 hour under heat cap.
CW'd with Honey's Handmade Black Soap, Honey & Avocado.

For Fall & Winter, I will alternate between doing my weekly regimen on loose hair and beehive braids.
 
The longest hairs on my head are at 18". They aren't the hairs at the nape though. I know it's a bit over 18" from nape to waist, so I'm pretty sure I'm close. I hav such difficulty with the hair at the front. They are just 16" and the ends aren't even that great.
 
I have ssks galore! I gave my hair a little too much freedom. I'm going to cut about 2 inches next time I trim in November or December, hopefully that will get rid of most.

I have the same issue and funny thing is I probably manipulate that area less than the back but I just cannot get the same fullness and growth.

Decided to clarify with Kenra chelating shampoo and did a protein treatment (mix of honey, curl junkie repair me and komaza protein tx) then quickly conditioned with bee mine avocado con. Hair feels great and now I'm not afraid to put in mini twists next week. I keep forgetting that I need to do actual protein treatments :)

Also another weird thing I've been doing is micro trimming every 2 weeks. I've been doing this since May (had to chop from almost wsl to cbl due to damage) and SSKs are way reduced and I'm back to apl already with great ends. SCORE!!! I think its because once the damage is visible its already too late so I assume with my fine hair that the ends are busted (but I trim very little, maybe 0.2 cm each time; a fifth of an inch if I go a month or longer)
 
I'd like to join in on the Waist length dreams if possible!
I'm not exactly sure where my hair is at the moment because I am in crochet braids after having cut off some heat damaged ends. I will update that information when I take my braids out.
I know I am probably around shoulder length.
I am hoping to get to waist length by my graduation in August 2018 with a combination of protective styling, gentle handling, protein-moisture balance and healthy habits (diet, exercise, water, sleep etc).

I just want long hair dammit. Haven't had it since I was an early teen.
 
I am taking care of my hair. Tomorrow I am going to get lush caca rouge and treat my hair on Friday. Then back up under my wig. Thank you ladies for your continued support. My new regimen , which is my old regimen, is back in full effect.
