SL 2014

ladies how often do you trim your hair? i keep putting off trimming and i haven't in the six months since i got my hair cut will it really set me back if i am constantly protective styling and my ends are not exposed they seem fine to me...i am just on the fence of trimming so it can be even at this point.

I trim every 3 months. If I go more than 3 months, then I need to trim back more than a 1/2 inch. Anything less than that I'm dusting too much bc I'm heavy handed. Lolz.
 
I've only had this sew in for like 2 weeks (took it down and redid it after a week) and I'm over it already. I'm just gonna get me a Tammy wig and chill until August 1, relaxer date.

Just hate to waste money :-/
 
Taking my weave out on August 1. So over it. I miss regular wash days, cowashing, my scalp, etc. a month before schedule but whatever. I'd like to dye it too but that means I'm ruling out relaxing for another several months because I refuse to double process again.
 
Aww what's wrong faith!?!

Just the same ol thing. Hair too short and I'm tired of styling it. Tired of the time it takes. Tired of looking at it. I feel like MzMomo now and ready to get rid of it.

It's too short to do anything with and too long to just let it go :sad:
 
I wish I loved wigs or weave or something :lol:

You know I feel you there too. Wigs never felt natural more like a hat and sew ins are kind of hard on my hair and mot into it. I found the crochets to be a middle ground and rather cheap. Lol

Not into extension twists or braids?

It's so hot here I just can't imagine putting any synthetic hair on my head right now. I see women on the street and I just don't know how they do it :nono: I don't even sleep with a satin cap anymore.

This must just be my week to whine. I will just have to suffer through it.

Whine whine whine whine whine
 
That's what I was going to say maybe try hiding your hair for a while...

Thanks. But I hate wigs. I just can't bring myself to wear one for more than 3 days. And weaves break the back of my hair out. I'm just going to have to whine through this period until my hair is long enough to bun in the back.

DarkJoy[/USER];20321605]Sometimes I feel like its pointless with the slow growth... it changes sooooo slow.

I feel you. I was going to take pictures at the end of June but then looked at my hair and said :nono: I am going to take pictures at the end of September. I should be able to see something by then. I think I am finally turning my hair around from the last setback.
 
Is there a thread support for us slow groweres? I put myself in this category bc without inverting, NJoy oil, and hairfinity I wouldn't get 1/2in per month. It would be waaay less :-( if there's no thread one of you ladies should definitely start one.

Yes there is one HairPleezeGrow. I m on my phone and don't know how to copy the link. Let me tag Froreal3 for the job
 
^^Come join us HairPleezeGrow! If I wasn't using Manetabolism, I wouldn't be getting 1/2" either. As you know I am back on my sulfur because I got the most growth from that last year Spring and Summer.
 
It's been a long time since I have checked in on this thread. I'm still striving for SL but I have a question..

What is considered SL? Is it when the back of your hair is touching your shoulder or does it have be all hair touching the shoulder? If it's the former then the back of my hair is touching my shoulders.

It really is up to you. Some people do the nape some pick a certain section.

For myself I will say I'm shoulder length when the hair below my crown falls past my shoulders.

Others call it when there nape touches.

I usually go with my nape. My hair naturally grows in layers. Right now I'm just gonna see what happens by the end of the year. The cut I got is angled, so I'm going to claim it when my shorter side reaches sl.

Think I'm going to buy a wig today or tomorrow. I got new growth and don't feel like dealing with it. So I may just detangle, air dry, put some Flat twists in and put a wig cap on for the next few weeks. I won't go pass ten weeks. I might do it at nine. I don't do that stretch stuff anymore.

I still haven't gotten any vitamins yet. I wonder if I'm considered a slow grower. I see growth at every relaxer touch up. I didn't have long hair as a child, but my mother didn't know how to properly care for my hair. Once I became an adult and figured out what to do, I was able to grow my hair nicely. I know I don't get half an inch monthly. Maybe a quarter. I have spurts here and there. Is that slow...

1/2 inch is considered average. Anything less would be considered slow. At 1/2" you could grow 6" a year. Growing 1/4 inch you would grow 3" a year. So in a few years time an average grower can be at a long length and a slow grower may still be at SL.

I don't use my nape for SL because it just doesn't make sense to say I'm SL when my nape is there and all the other hair on my hair is barely EL. I would need the back of my hair to at least be NL before I think about saying I'm SL.

So I would be considered a slow grower. And you got me wondering if your nape is wl now lol.
