It’s a New Year and I really need to start documenting my progress. Of course I want to share it with all of you 🙂 We family right? lol So after Idid measurements on stretched hair, I decided to look through one of my hair journals. And lookey lookey….I see some growth! About 3-4in since June of last year. I’m not sure about the science of how much hair grows on average per month. But some progress is better than none right?! Since I decided to keep the color (attempted to grow it out) I want to pay CLOSER attention to the state of my hair. I’ve made a few changes…
- Drinking more water (8×8 rule)
- Daily multi vitamin
- Workout 3-4x a week
- More protein treatments (light and heavy as needed)
- Daily scalp massages (with oil)
- Protective Styling (still working on this one *wink*)
I’ll post the products I’m using for the month of January in another page. The regimen is pretty much the same.
Here are my current measurements:
- Back Layer:15in
- Sides: 15in
- Crown: 15in
- Bangs: 12in
I did do a trim at the end of December, kind of a fresh start. Before I would just ‘dust’ my ends. But with the color I felt I needed to take off more, my ends were….ROUGH. Now they feel much much better.
On curlynikki I did a bunning challenge (June2011) and these were my beginning measurements:
- Back Layer: 13in
- Sides: 11in
- Crown: 14in
- Bangs: 11in
Freshly washed hair, no product
Girl you hair is super long! With no product at that and I love it in it’s natural state:) I have never done a length check, may have to do that this weekend when I wash. DO you just use a regular ruler? You’ve grown quite a bit! Your regimen sounds good, maybe I will try and follow in your footsteps:)
thanks boo! i used a measuring tape from a craft store. i think the standard is like every 3 mths so i’ll post another in March. it seems like simple is better 🙂
