15 months yay!!!

Dear blog...

Can't believe its been 15 months.. I'm so loving my locks right now in more ways than one..

Last night I washed my hair as I normally do. And for the first time I've noticed that my hair is long. Its officially at shoulder length. It has grown sooooo much since last year!!!!! When I started this set, I dyed my hair bronze so that way when it grows out, I can be able to measure how long it is... Now my hair looks back wit bronze tips.. I plan on dying my hair auburn probably next month. We will see.

Okay here's an update. My frizzies have gone away. I don't know when cuz I haven't done much maintenance these past few weeks. Maybe its because I had my hair up in a style and ponytails. Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure that's why..

My hair has gotten a lil heavier... But that's ok. I also noticed that my locks are uneven in length. its like a nightmare all over again cuz I delt with this in my first set and that's why I cut them... But its okay cuz this time around I refuse to. This time around my hair isn't too uneven to where I can't style it. My patience has really developed so ill wait until it grows out and then cut it even. Chances are ill forget over time but if I do remember then ill do it. I also noticed that the more developed my hair becomes, the longer it takes to dry. Not good at all cuz I hate hair dryers and I tend to let my hair air dry. I tried looking on the internet to see what I can use and tips to dry my hair faster. I came across this forum and some girl was talking about how she used this SHAMWOW cloth to dry her locks.. I've seen the infomercials about it.. I think its made from chanoir or something (think I spelled it wrong sorry). That kind of material is known for sucking up a lot of water. Ima try it.. I'm tired of air drying my hair... After a while it begins to smell funny.. But what helped me this time around is...
1. I squeezed most of the water after I washed it (as much water as I could)
2. I let it air dry for a few hours...
3. I blow dried it until it was completely dried..
4. Proceed to twist and style as normal.

My scalp hasn't been itchy lately.. Thank god! Maybe its because I'm drinking more water and getting vitamins in my diet. Need to oil my scalp more often. And lately I've been going to the gym. All of this helped my hair grow.

My hair doesn't require a lot of maintainence now. Only washing and twisting and some oiling every now and then. Thank god! I can wash my hair as little or often as I want now.
Can't wait till my hair reaches 2yrs... Can't wait to see how long it will be. We will see!
