Three years plus 1.5 months

[DarkChocolate]

Hello Everyone,

After a few small trims, coconut oil, exercise and eating better here is where I have come in three years. The middle part of my hair grows the fastest and I always seem to end up with a sharp icicle shape rather than a natural V.

That is a lot of growth ^_^ Your hair definitely seems to be loving all of the effort you are putting into it. :bounce:

[DarkChocolate]

Thank you:) Yeah, I have been putting alot of effort into it:) I S&D(Search and Destroy) for splits a few times a month but I feel that it is definitely worth it:) It is alot to look through thousands of hairs:)

Your hair looks awesome! You have really grown a lot.

WOW your hair looks nice. Keep it up because it is growing good.

[GoddesJourney]

That's great! The thick part is catching up with your length, which, by the way, is looking impressive.

[starlights]

what pretty long hair! well done!!! :)

Nice--your hair is getting long and the ends are getting so much thicker!

[ericthegreat]

That is wonderful progress DarkChocolate!

What I have personally done to get both a significant growth and maintain the health of my ends is that I will let my hair simply grow out for anywhere from 6 to 8 months without an official haircut. In between the 6 to 8 month period however, I will frequently do my own S&Ds. I will S&D around every 2 weeks, and take off 1/4 inch off of any hair that I feel has a damaged end. Once I get to my 6 to 8 month appointment, I will usually have around 2 whole inches cut off into a blunt trim. This way, I allow my hair enough time to grow out to a long enough length so that I can spare 2 inches!
