And girl it wears me out having to do it and then to turn around and write about it as well! lol. I have been on a serious brake. When its out I've been going 3 weeks without a wash day to avoid the manipulation. And and as we speak I am in my crochet braids have been for over a month now.

I did do my typical deep conditions, henna and Amla all of that stuff before deciding if I thought it was looser back there. It wasn't "that" bad but I am really picky when it comes to stuff like that, so when I put my hair up in its typically pony and saw those longer pieces hanging so far away from the bulk of the rest of the hair, I just snipped it because it never does that. I couldn't stand looking at it. <br /><br />Girl if you want an exact growth chart its probably best to pull out the measuring tape! Because the body placement can sometime be confusing. There was a girl that told me my markings were off on my shirt and that my hair was longer than what I was giving it credit for, so I was like idk chile!?<br /><br />As for our challenge, you know I I am about to go into a string of protective styles(probably with crochet braids)just to see if I can keep my ends healthier (I'm seeing more single strand knots) As well as, I just want the over all condition of my hair fibers to look smoother? I notices some small breakage pieces at my last wash, and I feel I have roughed my hair up some how. So I am about to kick it into high gear with Crochet braids and stay consistent with my Henna and Amla treatments. <br /><br />I am going to try and force my self to wear these braids starting this month. So maybe we can do that together? Just finding something about our hair that we want to improve and then give ourselves 3 mos to a year to see how it does.

I think I may be 1 or 2 inches lower than you. Help me find a more scientific way of measuring this hair thing LOL! That stinks, you think you have a bit of heat damage? Sounds like a little snip here and there will remedy. Try to deep condition for a few weeks first--unless you're getting breakage from it. Still trying to figure a way for us to do a project together. If you think of anything, let me know. Lets get the creative juices flowing.

Thanks for always stopping by I have to come over there to see what's new because for whatever reason I don't get my email updates whenever you post?<br />I know I've subbed atleast twice!! I always love your blog posts.<br /><br />As for the challenge aren't you already at MBL? Your hair is really long. I feel bad because I haven't been protecting mine as well as I know I could have to meet this year end goal. Not to mention I had to do a small 1.5 to maybe 2 inch cut on the longest point of my hair in the back because I think I got a little heat damage from a braider who kept pulling out the blow dryer to make my hair "more managable" while she was trying to braid it?? <br /><br />My hair is already longer and looser in the back. When I came out of my last set of braids I noticed my V was hanging a lot looser and longer with not as much spring. I could only conclude that she damaged it some. My ponytail puffs were not perfectly rounded but had a couple hanging strings! My braid outs and twist outs I looked like a sting ray in my side profile like I was growing a long tail. I couldn't take it so I snipped it! So we'll see how far that sets me back when I go to do another length check.

I relate to what you said about not actively trying to grow out my hair--but grow healthy coils.TheNEW007https://www.blogger.com/profile/17640992842523841977noreply@blogger.com
