Getting bored w/ my hair...

I think I'm about to fall off this whole hair band wagon thing. I've gotten to the point where I'm just tired of trying to grow, maintain, buying/switching products, watching my hair like a hawk to see if there is any growth, the works! I'm tired of wearing my hair in buns/protective styles, but I feel so guilty when I wear it out. From everything I read about protecting the hair, blah blah I'm starting to feel like wearing it out for even one day will cause it all to fall out @ one time! I can definitely see the growth and health improving, but I guess it's just not happening fast enough for me. I know - be patient. But for me, it's easier said than done. I don't want to do any to halt the progress I'm getting but geez, I'm stuck! Anyone else ever feel or have felt this way? What do you do to get back on the right track?

~Whew -- just had to get that out!!!  Thanks, ladies

 

I sometimes feel that way too. Especially after I expect my hair to be longer, and it's not. Patience is very frustrating sometimes, but u gotta stick to it. I do the same thing as Layla. I look @ photos of those who've inspired me, and I say, "If they can do it, so can I."

I feel like that all the time. But think of it this way, the time is gonna pass anyway and six months down the line. Your hair can either be at the same length or shorter (due to excessive use of flat iron etc) not to mention in poor health or you can hang in there keep doin what your doin and compare photos. I'm right there with you and it seems like my hair is the exact same length but I take small pleasures now in the little things. Ex: I took a picture of my bangs and saved it as the date the photo was taken, then I took a picture about 2 months later and was surprised/elated because it grew ~an inch. Talk about narscicism, I kept starin at the mirror, then the camera, then the mirror, then the other picture. And that motivated me again. It's hard, it's REAL hard at times but hang in there girl cuz we're right there with you. We can do it! And a year from now, we can be tossin and swaying our hurr with the best of em

If you rely only on the mirror, BrownEyez, you probably won't notice progress until 6months to one years time because you will be accustomed to your hair's length, especially if you're watchin it like a hawk. I am the exact same way, everytime I get in (AND out) of the shower, I'm checkin for progress. It's sad. It's twisted. But I do it. So I totally understand. Take some pictures and you will be reinspired in no time!!!

I get tired too... but I just switch up my style or find something else to do that interest me.  It's hard but we all can do it!
