Set up for a Comeback

Gonna massage my scalp after I put some food in the oven. : )

flwonline, if you glue your wig down then only do the front and pin the back down so you still have access your hair.

Been wearing my hair in braid outs and puffs, using Shea Moisture curl smoothie and curl gel souffle (why do I fall for every BOGO I see?) so, I detoxed my hair today to get rid of that gunky feel, that I don't like.  Used HH to detangle in the shower, M&S as usual and allowing my hair to airdry in 2 flat twists.

I think I'm in a growth spurt. I can feel a sensation on my scalp when I am so, it seems promising. I'm tempted to do a length check to peek but, I'll wait. But, I'm noting the sensation that I'm feeling. 

I've started back regularly using my hair growth oil and also taking vites formulated with time-released super b-vite complex and vitamin C to keep the biotin overload from breaking me out and keep everything else working max.  I hadn't used biotin in awhile because, even washing it out of my system with drinking lots of water, I'd still have breakouts. Shoot, that was more difficult to clear up than growing hair.  That said, I'm also drinking more green tea for overall good health.

I've decided to up my cowashing/cleansing to at least 2-3x a week now that it's warm out and now that wash days are easier for me.  I'm very excited about that because I love the feeling of water on my scalp.

I think I have about 2 inches to the top of my hips.  Not planning to claim hip until well beyond.  I've been saying that I want to grow a bit beyond hip and then cut back to w'hip length but, I'm really not planning to wear my hair straight.  Ny length goal will greatly depend on how my unstretched hair hangs and how much hair I'm able to handle.  So basically, we shall see.

Today I officially dumped Hairfinity. It was screwing with my thyroid. Good growth but not at the expense of extreme shedding. I got some Neocell Super Collagen + C from Walmart and added a biotin pill to that. I only have problems with breakouts when I dont drink enough fluids. ITA, those breakouts are horrendous but easily cured with a little smidge of tea tree oil on top of the bump.

Even though I say Hip Valley ( just after waist, and before hip), I think I feel the same way as you about the final goal. Im confident I can grow to whatever length I set my mind to, but I have reservations about being "too long", or putting myself into a situation where I cant manage it.

I remember when my hair was almost to my elbow and feeling frustrated about the drying process. Thats after BSL but before WL and it was exhausting trying to get dry in a timely fadhion. I can only imagine what a couple more inches would be like but im going on with the plan anyway.

I have been so inconsistent with my vitamins. I find myself being too preoccupied and lazy on the weekends. When i take my vitamins my scalp tingles and itches. It's almost instantaneous. When I don't take my vitamins my scalp is like calm waters. So hopefully that will motivate to stop missing days!
