25¾/+/¾
To Try
Well I did try a roller set last month but it didn't turn out well - too pouffy. I'm just not good at it. I should attempt a braid out but really don't have the patience or skill.
I have being doing a few more experiments with buns and enjoying that. I did a Madeleine cinnamon bun. It didn't come out the same bc I didn't have a braided scrunchie but it was a nice look. I got several compliments on it.
Progress
Hubby measured and it looked 26 to him but I think it was just a wee bit off. He said well it is definitely more than ½. So I figured on ¾. its so hard to measure as a curly bc I tend to be a perfectionist and I know my measuring is not perfect. But I think it best to continue so I can chart average growth.
Nutrition
I ran out of Biotin the 3rd wk of Feb. And only had a few FSO so I took that only occ. I kept up with the MSM every night and did well on the enzymes abt the first 3 wks. I really must get more Biotin. I'm not comfortable w/o it and wonder if I might have gained an entire inch.
The first half of this month was quite difficult. But I felt very good by the 3rd wk. I've been sleeping a LOT this last wk. Discomfort as of yesterday but it is managed.
Styles
LHC has something called the style of the week that I wanna rmbr to check out for ideas.
I'm thinking of trying a modified version of a Neil updo. Perhaps part hair from ear to ear, bun the back half and take the front and make some type of roll, double roll or twists.
A braided bun would be nice if I can pull it off.
For a change up I've taken to parting my hair on the side rather than always combed back or centred. I like it. Such a small change made such a difference in my restlessness.
Product/Regimen
Longhairs. Wash/cond daily. I did a deep honeybee trtmt the end of the month. And it seemed to suddenly just click and my hair and texture behaved great this wk. I finished my first rotation of all 'poos so it was funny having it come together that way.
I plan to continue to deep treat once a wk perhaps starting overnite. And to oil treat perhaps on weekends, both days.
I positively love the curl cream! This is something I think I will use a lot. And if I ever wear my hair down this is the perfect styling aid.
Vitamins
MSM-1500 this is really the only one I kept up all month. Enzymes most of the month. I did Biotin-5 mg and FSO-500 only half the month.
Growth
I still have a long way to go esp since I'm so curly the appearance will still be diff from the measurement. But I'm happy with the progress. It seems to be steady.
Expenses
I ordered finishing prod this month - $50. and the last of the month I ordered more scalp oil. I don't want to be spare with it so I ordered more so I never feel like oh no its almost all gone I better only use a little. That was $30. I must replenish my vitamin supply. It would only cost $20, Biotin, FSO, Silica.
Targeting
I'm at bra strap length. But still have a little bit left to get to bra Clasp length but not much. Dry curls just shy of collarbone.
