Re: The Benign Neglect Thread
I’ve been accidentally doing this for a couple years, my hair is always in a pony (or was ) and I just left it alone and got annoyed at it being in my way so I kept it up... and I only wash it once a week or once every two weeks.. all because of depression but!!! It’s been working and my hair went from shoulder to magically almost
Hip length! My longest ever hair length. I’m shocked haha. So uhh yeah!! I’m back! Haha... I’m glad this forum is still up and running because this place has been helping me keep up with my self care. I ordered some hair forks and everything! I also learnt how to do a proper normal bun and with my first ever hair fork! So happy haha.
I’m planning on going as long as my terminal hair length allows!

Re: The Benign Neglect Thread
How wonderful Sammich. Glad it’s working for you. Your hair looks lovely by the way.
Re: The Benign Neglect Thread
Thank you so much! :D So much has changed since I've last been on.. wow... So, this is my hair currently! I forgot to post that! :P This is after 2 years of neglect, the dyed ends were just for fun about a few years ago... but I'm planning on dying them wacky colours just for a change and because I'm bored with the yellowy/blonde colour.

Good for you! Happy growing and I'm glad that you are feeling better.
Re: The Benign Neglect Thread
Sammich, I meant to mention it on my reply on the other thread, but I love how the different tones of hair look in the buns...it’d definitely be fun to play with different colours :skittles: :thumbsup:
Re: The Benign Neglect Thread
Benign neglect has been wonderful for me lately. The most I do besides shampoo and condition is use (sometimes) aloe vera + oil after washing and Selkie detangler between washes. My hair is up most of the time now. So much easier to deal with while everything grows, especially all those broken off ends. I need to S&D again but I've been procrastinating. Meh, maybe in the week next lol?
I've been too lazy to even update my profile pic or upload a picture despite it being over a year! I swear I'll get to it...eventually :whistle:
Re: The Benign Neglect Thread
Resurrecting this one! :thumbsup:
I am getting a little "lost" in sometimes such complicated procedures (hah! look who's talking) with hair, but after all the years I am just happy with my routine. And just practice benign neglect (BN) all of the time.
I stick to my routines, and don't go out of my way to change things up or do special things to my hair.
I have reached classic since a good while now (March 2018 being the latest date), and I'm... fine as it is with my hair.
Who else is with me?
After years of experimenting when I first got here many years ago, I feel like I have definitely reached my limit on what I can handle! :lol: Not to say that newbs shouldn't go through the process of experimenting with their hair, because: please do, it is part and parcel of finding out what your hair likes and what it hates!
But for me? BN all the way!
Re: The Benign Neglect Thread
BN is working well for me too. Daily detangle comb and brush then into either a plait or bun for work. Release hair in the evening for scritch and massage before bunning for sleep time. Rinse and repeat. Except don’t rinse because I’m SO :laugh:
