As some of you might know, back in February, I posted about how my hair had taken a nosedive in terms of length and health. Since moving to the UK, my hemline thinned out horribly and I lost length.
(Here's the thread for those interested: http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=129808
Well, I wanted to give a quick update, as it's been a few months. I got such wonderful support, it's only right to let you all know how things have been going.
I have fully resumed my daily EVOO oiling habit and night CO-washes. I use Nighblooming's TMO every night on my sleep braid tassel to help my ends and also occasionally a few drops all over, if I plan to wear my hair loose the next day. I do a chelating wash about once a month, or whenever I feel like my hair needs it. I think the biggest, most beneficial change was getting a shower filter. I can tell it's working, as I don't have to clean the limescale from my shower nearly as often as before! :)
So without further ado, photos.
This was my original photo, showing my straggly, thin hemline:

Taken in March (nice to have a calendar so handy! :D), after I trimmed back the ends:

Since we tend to be our own worst critics, I'm hoping you lovely folks can give me some feedback. It looks like it's growing, but I can't quite tell. :confused: Maybe I need to get a striped shirt for this!
