The good news is I'm at 24 in. The sorta bad news is I really can't be sure how much I may have lost or gained as I'm never sure abt measuring bc I come up w/a diff number everytime. So I'm counting from 23 in. I went back and forth on deciding whether or not I truly want to be a measurer or not, but I do kinda wanna doc.to see if I'm really making any steady headway and how much of my ends I'm holding on to (or losing?) ea. month. So I found a ruler to measure my length.The tippy tips just at 12 in. mark by a hair.lol but I'm going to call it at 11 in. bc its only 2 strands that will prob come off if I keep pulling on them.lol I did a curly measurement too just to document shrinkage and they fall at abt 8 in. (sitting on my collarbone). So my total length the LHL way is 24 in.

Again I'm not sure if the gain is truly well documented bc I haven't been able to measure accurately these last 2 months and hadn't measured b4 that since likely arnd late spring/summer. But I'm counting from 23 in.so that's a gain of 1 in. I will be anxious 2c how much I actually gain ea.mo. and if I find or can doc. a pattern.

In Dec. I was well into my new prod. routine and I definitely very much see an improvement in my texture. Hair has gone thru crazy curly stages but in the last wk or so, its suddenly been rather smooth even silky. I can get it (almost!) silky straight w/just a very simple brushing.

I've been very bad abt vitamins this last month. At first I did very very well on HF37 along w/MSM and Silica at night, but strtd running low so didn't remain consistent. Arnd mid-mo. I had gotten MSM powder and did very well for a couple of wks taking a detox dose of abt 20g, but it tastes so abominably that I slowly didn't take it at all. I also got some digestive enzymes that must remain refrig therefore I nver rmbr them. Next time I wll splurge and get Primal Defense. I want to begin Perfect Food. I think I wd rather like to stick w/HF37 but won't be able to do this until Feb. I definitely plan to get back on Biotin 5 mg and cont' MSM. I will figure out the grams dosage later, but I'm guessing arnd 5g. But I want to stick w/these in particular until Feb.measure-in to doc. progress.

Nov.: MSM, Biotin, Silica.
