15 degrees Farenheit! It was super cold and I was a bit worried about my hair, but it did fine. Thank you all for being so supportive. I will take a progress photo soon. Anais, your new sig pic is so beautiful! Miss Rini, congratulations on your hair growth!!!! 21 inches - I am so impressed by how fast your hair grows. Mine is somewhat slow, but I'll take any growth if it is healthy hair.
Yay specialkitty!!!! Good on ya girl! You are being very good to your hair and your hair is being good to you in return.
Can I chime in with my own "progress report"? As it's the first of the new year, I've decided to measure (going to measure on the 1st of every month now, instead of the 10th...just easier to remember!). Anyway, I had a bad month healthwise (major surgery) and my hair has not been happy. I didn't think there would be hardly any growth...but it still grew half an inch! So my measurement today is 21 inches!!!!!! yiiiippeeee!!! I didn't get my usual 3/4 inch, but any growth is fantastic I also had some shedding issues for a few days after my surgery, but I'm pleased to say that has stopped too.
Isn't it amazing how our bodies react to physical and mental stress? I am so in awe of how my body is healing itself and it's going to make my new years resolution of living a healthy lifestyle so much easier to keep. I feel like I respect my body now more than ever before
Anyway....I'm going off on a tangent. Keep us posted with pics too specialkitty. Maybe take a photo on each measuring day?
Thanks Katja! I posted a picture in a thread a few weeks ago called "Newbie Pic." I will try to take another picture soon! Thanks for the encouragement
Okay, here is my update after two months of no haircuts, no dying, no drying or ironing and joining this board:
My hair is now 18.5 inches (from 17.75 inches before Thanksgiving)!
I'm not cutting it, trimming it or dying it anymore (I'll do a trim at the end of a year)
I am only washing my hair 2 times a week with no greasy side effects! (This took about a month to achieve - at first my hair and scalp protested, and now it feels very natural and comfortable)
My hair is much shinier, healthier and happier
Winter hair care - I went cross country skiing yesterday and it was about 15 degrees - I oiled with shea butter, braided, wore a hat, and my hair was in great shape at the end of the day)
Exercise hair care - I condition-only after exercising which works for the sweat issue.
Started taking evening primrose oil which is recommended for hair health (along with other supplements including multivitamin, calcium, and MSM)
Thanks all of you for all of your great help and advice!
