The Benign Neglect Thread

**Sammich** · January 20th, 2021, 08:09 AM

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!

How wonderful Sammich. Glad it’s working for you. Your hair looks lovely by the way.

Thank you so much!

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.

Wow it looks lovely and thick. What colour are you planning on the ends?

Wow your hair looks great! And the fact you can have some fun with the different coloured ends... how exciting!

Good for you! Happy growing and I'm glad that you are feeling better.

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

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
