I am so with you on this. When I first joined LHC I reached just below shoulder to bsl in about 6 months. I did it with MN and lots of oilings. Since then I reverted to bad habits. I lost all the length through bleach induced breakage, hot irons and getting scissor happy with microtrims. I ended up doing so many micro trims that my hair was skew. Had to cut it back to below shoulder to get it straight.
So now I am back at apl and my goal is bsl by November. 3 months at an inch a month!

I am re starting a routine of CWC, SMT, MN and oilings with Gro Aut and Coconut Oil, also taking hair and biotin supplements and a daily hair affirmation.

What u focus on increases so I am madly focusing on long healthy abundant hair growth. We will get there ladies !!

Yep I think so. Take a photo in a tank top or bra then you should see it more clearly but def looks like it!
You have such beautiful hair too

Thank you!!!! That is a good idea. Even though I've been on here for a while this is first official hair picture. From now on I will take my pics in a tank top or something that more clearly shows the length.

Does anyone else have layers that make updos at this length and pita? I've been wearing my hair in a french braid all the time because it's it's one of the few styles that I don't have pieces sticking out all over the place.

Yes! It's so hard to do what few updos I can at this length (with this thick hair!) with layers sticking all over the place!

I find myself doing the same styles over and over. I am also finding that my hair is getting heavier and only likes to be in certain positions on my head. This makes me nervous for when my hair is longer! It's just barely APL and already heavy in certain styles. I think a lot of my hair must be coming back from my post-partum shed.

Question about that - How much did you shed post-partum? Was it a scary amount, like you could really feel how much thinner your hair was? How long did this shedding go on? Just curious!

Well,I am still breastfeeding (DD just turned 1) so I think maybe because of that it took longer for me to have an actual shed and it was more gradual. I think I notice the thinness more when I braid my hair. On the upside I have lots of baby hairs coming back in!

I'm currently at APL myself, but I have some awful layers that make the front parts look a bit shorter. Just trying to reach BSL hopefully before I do any major trims to get rid of the layers!
