I guess it didn't help that I had a bad dye job and had to keep cutting my ends every few weeks until all the dyed hair was gone. But a year after i cut all the dyed hair out my hair still wasn't growing much. By the beginning of this past summer the back of my hair was about chin length and the front was near my nose when straightened and then i went to a barber for a trim and the idiot chopped ALL my hair off! So needless to say 2 years later and i was back to where i started in september of 06. So i recently decided to start wearing protective styles to see if this helped. I've been wearing my hair in braids and braids/weave combos for the past 2 months and i have noticed a decent amount of growth. So my plan is to continue wearing braids for the next 3-4 months to finally get my hair to grow without stagnation. Wish my luck.

So in this particular post I was just pointing out that if you already feel like you're doing everything right (wide-tooth comb, oiling, etc.), then protective styling may be what you're missing. You had mentioned that you're "only brastrap length after 5 years"... Protective styling (along with the other things I suggested in previous posts) is what helped me achieve more growth in less time. There are ALWAYS exceptions to the game. Many of the people I know with SUPERLONG hair have achieved it with protective styling. Try wearing all that hair out everyday and it's a wrap! lol! I'm only giving what I think MIGHT be helpful suggestions, but by all means you gotta do what works for you. :)Lovely Lady Luxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344333283123416308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174015588741509913.post-15203989991386370192008-11-18T15:09:00.000-05:002008-11-18T15:09:00.000-05:00Hey this post is right on time.

I have been wearing box braids for months and plan to keep them in until the summer - of course taking them down to redo in-between. But I have noticed faster growth since I stopped messin' in my hair so much. :o)Laquitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418620084044106211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174015588741509913.post-76720159571479651792008-11-18T09:13:00.000-05:002008-11-18T09:13:00.000-05:00Lol I have seen people rock protective styles with...Lol I have seen people rock protective styles with dedication and still have that TWA 5 years later. I cite ineffective moisturizers, not moisturizing enough, and misconceptions about what moisturizers are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174015588741509913.post-86983380493837147272008-11-17T22:49:00.000-05:002008-11-17T22:49:00.000-05:00I chopped my hair off in May and right now I have ...I chopped my hair off in May and right now I have about 4 inches but it shrinks down to 1 inch so I just wear it as a fro or the occasional head band. It would look longer if I twisted it but I'm not sure if it is worth the effort at this length. No brushes and only wide tooth comb but not everyday. Seems healthy so far and it is growing right on schedule.modest-goddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349577841986972240noreply@blogger.com
