Progress
its been a pretty good month. I feel that I really grew a lot this winter. I've had mostly good hair days. I'm still surprised at how easily I brush smooth. I wd like 2go to the salon next month but not sure of the possibility. I wd like to do more with styles but still not sure I'm ready to wear my hair down just yet. I wd love to try a blowdry but I just don't trust anyone enuf to do it and I'm not talented enuf to manage it myself.
Nutrition
I'm still sticking to the Biotin and FSO at lunchtime and the MSM at bedtime. I really need to put a daily lemon back in my diet. I shd also try harder to drink more tea. I think I prob only did it right maybe 1 day this month. I keep it on my desk I just need to drink it. I shd also try to get a warming teapot so I don't have its cold as an excuse.
I've thot of switching to HF37 but I'm not sure of that. Besides the expense it doesn't contain much Biotin and no MSM which I can't imagine not including in my routine. I wd really like to see how much faster I wd grow esp since growth is guaranteed. Maybe I will plan that for April after charting growth for a quarter.
for health reasons I wd like to add Perfect Food but I really not sure I care to take a fistfull of vitamins everyday! So that with the HF37 wd be a bit much but since my vegs are so limited...
Styles
My current fave is the bun in some form which I dress up with a fake-arre or hairsticks. I have a number of tiny clips for more detail arnd the face. Get more headbands that are comfortable and safe. I will try a typically bedtime style of 2-4 bee butts, made fun and interesting with 2 sets of hairsticks. I also wanna get even more velvet scrunchies. Silk velvet are the best ones. I plan to try Madeleine's cinnamon bun. And to try 2 braids pinned atop my head.

Targeting
Currently I measure my hair when wet to get a straight measurement. The key to accurate measuring is to be consistent so I can't change midstream since I already started this way. So for now I will keep a standard length notation for curls. After I get to waist length I will redirect to focus on my ultimate goal which is for waist length curls. Also I have layers in my hair it being longest in back so when I'm at waist I will thnk abt those. I'm very unsure of estimates at this point. But I’m going for the average of 6” a year but I may lose some now and again to damage so I don’t want to over-estimate so I est. very conservatively.
