Midback | Waist

**Jessica Jones** · March 12th, 2019, 05:16 AM

Hi all I am so excited to aim at WL. My measurement today was 25 inches to ends.
I washed the day before yesterday and before wash I did a mask of castor and olive oil with a small spoon of vitam butter Ι heated slowly to make it even. I put it on my hair for 2 hours covering it with membrane. I use also my new BBB and although it doesnt help with detangling (I use plastic brush for this) it gives me volume so I like it so far.

The ACV rinse was a success. It did make my hair very yellow, but also very shiny!

I used about a quarter of a cup, diluted it in a cup of water, put it in a bottle and dumped it over my head as the last step in my shower, squeezing out the excess but not rinsing.

I have actually considered trying an ACV rinse, but recently I've heard many people say it made their hair yellow. And good that I did, because I'll definitely skip it then. Brassiness is enough of an issue as it is.

I’m at about 22 at my longest. I am thinking maybe two more months and will be waist. If not by my two year anniversary in July I should be there.

Hiya timeschild, sounds like you’ll reach waist really soon. I think it’s a cool length.

Yes I am excited I am thinking I want tail bone length hair or just under my butt checks like when I was little I am not sure tbh. Maybe I will just keep growing. Although I do need a trim to rid split ends. I’m just to scared I don’t trust many people with my hair. So I haven’t even had a trim since I cut all my hair off over a year nearly two years ago.

There’s a lot of good advice around here about communicating clearly with hairdressers, self trimming, micro trimming and protecting fragile ends. Are you doing protective updos? Since I started wearing buns my broken and split ends have improved massively.

I use like a tablespoon (give or take) in about 2 quarts of water. Do I know what that means in sensible amounts? No lol. But it's enough for me at least to get the benefits without anything else (that I can tell), including smell.

Oh I looked it up, it's like 64oz which is 1.9 liters! I really use very little, because the scent lingers if I use too much. My hair is very dark and already quite reddish, so any additional brassiness I would never notice.

Yep, I suspect that in most hair, nothing would show, but mine is nearly white in some sections so everything shows, even the slightest of decoloration. :|
