When last we spoke about my hair, I was left questioning what I want to do with my hair. My original goal was to have waist length hair. But on that quest to waist length, I encountered breakage and thinning ends. Now, I’m questioning whether waist length is in the cards for me. Of course, I’d love to have crazy…
After struggling with retaining length for over two years, I finally saw success thanks to all of your invaluable suggestions. It really helped to get me in gear and focused on these last two relaxer stretches. After cutting about three inches in October 2015, I was able to gain it all back (see: last length check). And now I plan to…
Hey guys! I’m dropping in to share my current length with you all. I relaxed my hair this weekend and this is my current length (along with a comparison from my last relaxer in October). If you pay attention to the images on the back of my shirt in the side-by-side comparison, you can see the how much longer my hair is…

This second attempt at stretching for 6 months was a little more daunting than the last, but I did my best to be patient with my new growth. In preparation for my relaxer day, I wanted my new growth stretch,…

But with three weeks left, I just need to calm my nerves. To help me get through this week I decided to do a roller set. I’m hoping that having…
I’ve been a bad blogger, you guys. Not only am I behind on updating you, but I can not for the life of me remember what I did with my hair for the first wash day of week 23. I know that I did a flexi rod set again and I wore that for 5 days. I know I deep…
I want to do my best to document this 24 week stretch attempt so that (1) if it is successful, I’ll know what to do next time or (2) if it is a failure I’ll be able to pin point where things went wrong. Since I usually get stressed with my stretch around 15-17 weeks (see: this and that), I…
