- Eat approx 50 grams of protein everyday * I do this just about everyday.
- Take a suppliment and has all essential vitiams and minerals * Everyday aswell, I maybe missed it twice in 2 or 3 months.
- Deep condition at least 2 times a week with lipid rich conditioner and use non-sls shampoo * I do this aswell. It's rec'd to leave it overnight but my hair doesn't feel good the day after when I do that. Just bought some new highly rec'd Shampoo too, John Master's Organics.
- Protein treatment once a month * Check, will be doing another on on the 15th.
- Use a dry oil ans shea butter * I ran out of the oil but have been using the shea butter to seal my ends when my hair is coming out of the shower. Ordered some more oil that I'll use everyday.
- I use a shower filter *check
- Try to drink 6 or more glasses of water a day * Bum bum. Have been falling behind on this and really need to pick up my game!!
- TRY to not stress * Work's a bit better atm.
- Try to get enough sleep * Averaging around 8 hours a night.
- No heat * CHECK!
- No dye, no chemicals * Check check! - No products containing alcohol, includes hairspray * I had to use one small spray of hairspray just on my bangs a few weeks ago. Wasn't even my hairspray, I don't own any!
- Scalp massages * I have been doing these, but I think I need to do them for longer. I'd do 30secs when I should be doing 2-3 mins. I don't want to be rough on my hair though!
- No elastic bands * Have been pretty good with this, but have needed to use them once or twice. But I had it very loose and not in a high pony with lots of pressure.
I'll be redoing this every month to keep myself accountable.

Once a month I measure. Looks like I'm approx 6cms away from my first goal.
I have noticed my ends aren't splitting as much as well. The problem with my hair is that it's layered, and I'm growing it all to one length, so I can't trim the layers if they need it. I have been going in myself with a pair of scissors, and if I see a split or damaged end, I will cut the very end off the single strand.
How much heat does everyone use on their hair? A part from the fact I used to curl it once or twice a year, I haven't really used for years. Oh wait I did use an iron occasionally when I had extensions so my hair would sit flat with them. What a bad idea.
Do u know why is it that extensions cause all that damage? its sad
Well anything that is fused to the hair is going to cause damage. That along with the weight and pulling of the extensions on the hair causes the hair to snap where the bond is and even be pulled out at the root. They look good but my god can they do some serious damage.
Oh I remember in my junior year of high school I got extensions sewn in. I removed them a month later and my hair was sooooo thin. I had handfuls of hair come out. It was real scary.

I measure 2 ways, first, starting at the middle part the the longest point on the side, and also starting from the centre of my hairline above my nose, along my part and to the tips at the back. Itwas like 38cm last time. Can't wait to measure it again in a couple of weeks!
I tot get what ur saying about extensions. I can def see how the pulling and that would damage the roots. As for your question about measuring, I usually use a very small measure so I can measure exactly and measure from root to tip :) How have u tryed to measure? and how long is it?

awwww thats great his hair is great tho :) did u ever style it for him ? A tight one would be great for his hair and i can imagine the bangs look great :) is he letting it get longer?
Ally I know what u mean about ends. they def are frustrating u put all that time into growing your hair really long only to get like an inch off because of ends. its like taking a step backward :( Braids are def cool and i can get some small ones now which are cool :) Ill def post some pics of a bun :) I have to wear one for work so I hope it turns out well. what styles do u do?
Natorade thanks for the feedback :) BSL is awesome and im sooo glad his bun looks good. is it tight or messy? I know ill prob do a tight one at the base of my neck so i hope it turns out good :) does ur friend plan on growing his hair longer and with it curly does he ever straighten it?
pburgh56...i have never seen my friend straighten his hair..his bun is usually not a messy bun. he has also worn it in 2 braids. he makes me so mad at how great his hair is though.
Yeah if it's healthy it won't break as easy and therefore -- length!
I know, even though half (or more) of celebs use extension. I read Paris hilton is suffering from baldness and thinning, also known as "actress hair" from continuly wearing hair extensions since she was a teenager.
I totally agree with your last post. make sure ur hair is healthy and if its healthy then it will tend to grow longer even :) I love the new hair inspiration pic too. I love celebrities with gorgeous long hair :) They make me jealous tho lol hahahah
