Hair Progress 2008

I looked in my 2006 album, the last time I had my hair straightened. I thought I had gained and retained about two (2) inches. But now I realize it is more like four (4) inches. That's great!!!!!

Ends of Pony

See how thin the ends of my pony are? Most folks would trim. I do not because for me, this is growth. If I trim it back, I lose the new length. So, I set my goal point. That is the point or length that I had the beautician trim it. Now, I will let it grow, the rest of it until it thickens up at this newer longer length.

    I am following your technique. My goal point is BSL. It is refreshing and inspiring to see how this has worked for you!

    I hope it works for you. It's more psychologically satisfying than scientifically satisfying! I need all the help I can get to stay motivated and not get discouraged. It helps me to stay on track!

    Great approach! I'm one of those that usually trims but I think I'm going to use your method form now on. Thanks for sharing :)

    I agree with you. I believe curly hair grows in a "circular" pattern around the scalp (faster in some places than others.)
    My type 2 ,wavy and big curl friends, complain of the same thing as well.
    ----------
    I never thought about growing in a 'circular pattern" but that makes so much sense.
  • My ends get like that too and it's hard for me to fight the urge not to trim. I try to keep you in mind for motivation to stop myself :).

    Things seem a look a lot different when you have knowledge, right! You can take what was considered to be a bad thing and turn it to your advantage, and or see the good in it- like thin ends!

    I am going to fight with all my might to not cut now! and see what I can come up with ...it makes total sense to me.
    ------------
    Worse case scenario, if it doesn't work for you, you can always cut it back after the experiment.
