I'm in for 2019. I've hit a length plateau. This picture attached is my hair now. It is blown out and not all of my hair is pushed forward but the hair that is shows where my hair lays blown out. It is difficult to measure my hair and it is so humid I can't get my hair completely straight. I measured my blown out hair and it is 19 or 20 inches but everytime I measure it the length varies. My end goal is for my blown out hair to rest underneath my boobs without having to pull a strand for a check.
The 2nd picture attached is my hair in my #1 protective style for 2019, two strand twists. I'm working on getting better at them but the picture is my first attempt. I will have them in for 6 weeks, have a one or two week break and will have my hair in a bun and do a whole bunch of hair loving, then teo strand twists again. I am in university and graduate in April so I want a style where I won't neglect my hair and can focus on both uni and haircare.
So my regime is blowdrying using revair then two strand twists.
I want to keep them in for 6 weeks then wash, condition, henna or aphogee 2 step protein treatment (alternate every 6 weeks).
After I wash and condition my hair I apply shea butter. It is whipped. And I only apply it once after wash day because I have fine hair that is easily weighed down. I only want to "reactivate" it nightly by saran wrapping my hair.
This is my regime to reach my goal which will hopefully be waist length on me.
More pics. Excuse the chocolate stain on my white shirt. Im so clumsy
I stretched the length in front of me to try to be more specific
My boyfriend then helped me measure it. If you can see, it says around 19 inches. This length has been varying which is why I give up on giving accurate measurement
Then we measured the inches to my hips, which is one of my goals, which is about 7.5 inches.
My shampoo and conditioner has been Apghogee Damaged Hair Shampoo and Balancing Moisture Conditioner.
My deep conditioner is Obia Naturals Babassu Deep Conditioner
I keep my hair stretched via blowdry and/or two strand twists. I try to keep stretched all the time because of major ssk. I am working on end care and hope that lessens tangling.
I detangle in the shower using Conair shower head detangling brush and a wet brush during wash day.
During wash day I also S & D before applying DC (if it is DC time. I DC as a prepoo) or prepoo (coconut oil)
