I decided to FINALLY get my hair cut by a professional. I'm so happy that I did. It feels much stronger and all my single strand knots are essentially gone. Hopefully, i'll be able to maintain my hair better with the new hair cut and allow my hair to grow back to bra strap length at the end of 2014.

So I hit bra strap length (BSL) last year. Which was a big goal of mine a while ago. However, I haven't been wearing my hair straight. So the idea of reaching that length is pretty insignificant now since I always wear my hair in a curly state or in a protective style (wigs).

My goal is to reach BSL (Bra Strap Length) by December 31, 2011. I just wanted to upload a picture of my current hair length. This picture was taken on February 26, 2011. I'm going to be doing some drastic measures in order to reach this goal. Which includes protective styling, (I'll either be bunning or wearing my hair braided up under a wig and making sure my ends don't come into contact with anything that could damage them. ). I will also be taking Nioxin's Intensive Therapy Recharging complex which is a Food/dietary supplement for healthy growth of hair skin and nails. I will be doing my best to do low to no manipulation of my hair throughout the week until I wash again. Wish me luck :)

I washed my hair on Monday and did a braid out for a few days this week. Then I decided to turn that braid out into a protective style. I'm not really sure of what the official name for this style is, I'm just calling it an "upward french roll". I may be wearing this all winter. It's super easy to do and only takes about 2 minutes and 2 hair forks.

I'm currently wearing my hair in a roller set. At night I usually braid it in cornrows all going back or in 5 or 6 lose large twists to keep it from tangling at night. I then wrap it up in a satin scarf and sleep on a satin pillow. The curls are holding up pretty well. I was wearing my Adidas sweatsuit reminiscent of Run DMC. It's my favorite relaxing around the house outfit.

This is my hair right after I washed it. It's still wet and shrunken in its most natural state. I just love how my hair can shrink up to ear length (sarcasm). I can't wait until my hair is at my shoulders shrunken. I may start wearing wash and go's then. I currently use the Mane n Chic no towel, no t-shirt, no paper towel method to dry my hair. After I get out the shower I either put on a plastic cap or wrap a towel around my neck. Then I'll style it while wet.

I love wearing twist outs. I washed and rollerset my hair for a stretched twist look (see first three pictures above). I wore my hair in these twist for about two weeks before I untwisted and separated each twist only once for this desired look. I really like it.

One of my new ambitions is taking better care of my hair and retaining length. I have been natural for 4 years but this is the first time I have made a conscious effort to take better care of my hair. I have set a short term goal of getting to armpit length hair by January 2011. My ultimate goal is to be at least bra strap length by January 2012. I will be updating my blog as to what I am doing to my hair to get to this goal. I started this healthy hair journey in August 2010. I haven't straightened my hair since January 2010 so this is the most recent picture of my straightened. I won't be straightening my hair again until January 2011. But in the meantime I'll update my blog as to the styles and products that I'll be trying.
