My hair is still very soft and managable! I am so excited. Only issue I have is nothing new. Because of the new growth/humidity/length it is starting to look puffy in the roots again. No big deal, the main part is that is feels and looks much much better. (Got a few comments about how it looks better!)
So Monday morning I get my sew-in. I am just getting a chin length bob. Enough to look like I have way more hair, lol but short enough so I am not hot all the time. I figure if I get the sew-in monday, it will stay in until September 8th (4 weeks). Then around September 20 something, I will get another one, or a perm....we will see. It is growing nicely, but I am concerned about the puffiness of what will show, so depending on that will make the difference.
I plan is to do sew-in (4 weeks), rest (2 weeks), sew-in, rest, etc until around december...well after Christmas. Even with the added chemicals, I really think my hair will be the length it was in June. I had got a hair cut last in line November and didn't get it cut (or even my ends clipped like I should have) from then to June....7 months. And it was low like a man's hair, if not lower than some!
So starting with like 1.5 inches of hair, from June to December is 6 months. Like I will be happy when it gets slightly longer than Rihanna's hair for now. That is a length I can easily maintain on my own.
Oh, so since I make sure to use my Tea tree Oil every night, my ends look great! I thought I was going to need to get them clipped but they are fine! I have definitely found products that work for me.
I am still a little nervous about the sew-ins.....so starting Monday, the entries will include what I learn about sew-ins and I will do monthly updates on my hair growth and state like when I take it out.
I am continuing to do research on taking care of my hair while it is in that state so it doesn't end up being worthless.
I know you can kind of use those bottles like the one you use to do hair color and put diluted shampoo and conditioner in it to get to your hair without risking causing build up later. And I think I will pre-poo the normal way instead of the "deep condition" way. Like just running the conditioners into my hair.
I wish I knew how to cut hair, lol! I have to pay like 25 for the hair and then 14 for a cut...ugh! Oh well, it is only 34 a month....well 6 weeks really. So by December, I will be paying 34 like 3 times.
Okay, so I just counted out 6 weeks a few times through december. I would end a 6 week period right before Christmas. I do not want to go into 2009 with a sew-in so we will do a Christmas official update. Relaxer and all that week. Maybe I will even treat myself and go to my old stylist. She was really good with my hair.
I didn't mention this before, but the reason I am trying to go as long as possible is because 1) I want my hair to grow without damage, 2) the longer your go (while taking good care of it), the more new growth so the less likely there will be damage because there is less likely you will overlap......like you know .5 inch new growth is a small amount, so it would be hard to confine it to jus that. But if there is like 3 inches, there is much less room for error.
Stratch the stylist idea, expensive!
Excited!
