365 Day NO HEAT CHALLENGE!

@MissK @Khaleesi what state was your hair in before you got braids? I'm relaxed but should i let it grow out or is it fine to do em relaxed?

Hey girl! Sorry just seeing this...

Mine was relaxed but not newly relaxed, months of new growth so I did lose what I felt was a lot when I took them down but most of it was probably just normal shedding.

Soooo..... I ended up doing my first official length check this morning (06/28/2015) & I decided that I will be doing one every 3 months

Here are the results

Spoiler

Front bang: (I recently cut off about 3 inches a few weeks ago)

*Between my bottom lip and chin*

Front right side:

Front left side:

*An inch below my birthmark*

The crown of my hair:

*Middle of my nose*

Back right side:

*Right below my collar bone*

Back left side:

*Right below my collar bone*

What I was surprised to find out was that my hair is actually pretty even on both sides... especially after I had practically cut it with my eyes closed a few weeks prior lol.

Happy healthy growing everyone!

I hope you guys could share your length check progress too!

The only products that I currently use:

Spoiler

(I use this as needed... usually once a week when I do my wash)

(I use this whenever I feel that my hair needs a little bit of a protein strengthening treatment....... usually if I see that it's falling out in clumps lol).. it stops shedding immediately... for me anyway.

(For my edges)

The only shampoo and conditioner that I use. I co-wash whenever I feel that my hair is really dry.

and last but not least....

(WATER!), I wet my hair everyday. Depending on the style that I am wearing, I would either spray it or wet my hair in the shower).

The best advice I received is to just listen to YOUR hair. Changing your regimen up a bit is sometimes necessary, especially for when our hair wanna act out and act brand new & shiet. lol

Nice!!!do you do wash and gos? If so howdo you keep them up. I swear I tried that pineapple method and it does nothing for me. I just try to do as much low manipulation as possible.

@gotdamkam

Nah.. My curls are too many different patterns for wash & gos to even work with my hair.

I stick to braidouts and if im lazy I do twist outs... But my everyday go to look is my bun lol

This weekend I tried wrapping my hair and letting if air dry instead of blowing it dry and flat ironing. It didn't turn out too bad. Not as straight as I usually like it, but I kinda like the bit of extra fluffiness.

I'll post my products when I get home tonight.
