I went through my blog and noticed that I "dusted " my ends 3 times since November. I also trimmed off about 1inch after my last touch-up. I may have cut off all of my progress from the last 3 months, but those ends needed to go. I now plan on dusting every 8 weeks and doing search and destroys(where I cut off any split ends) every month. I'm not too worried about reaching Full Arm Pit Length anymore. I just want healthy, thick hair.
To retain as much length as possible, I will do protective styles (buns, french rolls with hair sticks) during the week and if I want to wear my hair down, I will just do braid-outs or bantu-knot outs. No direct heat until my goal is reached!

You're getting there.
ReplyDeleteHonestly when I textlaxed in a little less than 3 years I got to nearly midback and I never ever wore my hair out, and maybe that helped. When I say never I mean I never wore it out except maybe once or twice a year I got a blowout and wore it out for a week or so. But that was it, I used and still only use bobby pins and keep my hair pinned.
I think this technique even though it's boring helps a lot and has helped me get to lengths faster even as a natural now.
I'm just suggesting, that maybe updos should be your friend.
Thanks for the suggestion, Pretty Dark Thing.
ReplyDeleteI am big on updos and probably wear my hair out typically twice a month. I may go on a personal "pin my hair up" challenge for 3 months were I don't wear my hair down at all.
