Okay, so I've determined/discovered that the shrunken fro is a protective style. I really love the way my hair feels without product, which is how I wore it today. It's much more fuzzy and soft this way...no curl definition over here. I really don't feel like spending the time doing coils. I mean, that's one of the benefits of having natural hair...not spending hours styling it. I think when it gets longer, I should be able to do twists in 2 hours or less. I was looking at this woman's album today and almost puked at her growth. It's been close to 2 years for her though, so if I treat my hair right, then hopefully I can have almost as much success.
It's really hard not to think about the growth and maybe if I stayed focused on the health, I would have more growth...anyway...these are the rules from here on out...
- No heat
- Deep conditioning at least once a month
- No over manipulation...gonna try to just do wash and go
I'll keep ya posted on my progress. I'm at 4" and my goal is 5.5" by the end of January. I do not think my hair grows the full .5" per month, so I'm estimating a little lower. Hopefully, by summertime...July...I'll have at least 7.5" and maybe by December 07 I'll have close to my starting length of 10". That would make my estimate of 2 years to grow my hair back pretty accurate.
Stay Away from the Heat
