The Random Hair Thoughts Megathread

[rudderbird]

Just a quick thought. I have been actively growing my hair since March 15th or so (after a huge hair loss phase due to stress with a fresh trim) and my hair is at BSL now (maybe more on the longer side). Anyways, I desperately want my hair to grow to waist length and I am doing everything right at the moment. Nothing really to complain. However, instead of *WAITING* for my hair to grow to a certain length and just obsessing over it, I have realized it is better to shift the focus to something important and wait it out. This way, that something important task/project will be perfectly accomplished (boost your confidence) and at the end of the journey, you will be rewarded with the dream tresses you have been dreaming of! My advice to myself and to everyone is to stop waiting and focus your shift to something very important and enjoy the ride!

Agreed! Growing hair is a very passive process, an exercise in patience and letting go, so shifting your focus is very helpful.

100%! One of the best hair growth tips is to have other projects on the side.


I'm going to donate blood today and I'm excited to see how my newly-learned top-of-the-head bun feels in that situation. Heh, the things you can be excited about as a longhair!

I agree with finding something else to focus on. That's why I never could join those "monthly measure" or photo threads - I needed to just move forward with other things.

Hi yall! it's been such a long time since I last said anything here, but it's very satisfying to take note of the progress since then. I'm in a much warmer place now and I find that my curls are not only curlier but also need more moisture than when I lived in a colder, drier climate. I think I really will just keep my check ins for once a month because time goes by so much faster when you're not thinking about your hair. I've also noticed that I can go longer between washes, which I'm guessing has to do with the climate (I also just no longer have the time anymore to wash my hair more than once a week :'(((( the adulting life is hitting me this year). Anyways, have a wonderful day yall! happy growing <333
