Seeing Results! Old Goals and New Ones

I'm so excited! Another month has gone by and in a few weeks, it will have been 4 months since my haircut. They say when you cut your hair, it takes a few months to start to see growth. For curly hair, it takes even longer than that. Well, after almost 4 months, I am seeing growth and it is getting so long already! Here is some pics to prove it.

Today was my first wash day of the new month. I pre-poo'd with olive oil and honey, and left it in for 45 minutes.

I proceeded to shampoo it with my coconut milk shampoo and then finger de-tangled it with my Tresemee conditioner. Since it was the end of my month, I could finally look in the mirror after I washed it and observe the length. That was one of the best goals I created because when I looked in the mirror, I could not believe how long it looked! I finally got to take pictures and make comparisons.

For those who want a back to back view of the difference in length, here are some comparison pictures:

The day I cut my hair (May 29th)

The one on the left was from July 24th. The one on the right was today, September 14. Can you believe the difference in length for about a month and a half!? How bout from May? It's a huge difference! I was so excited. My goal literally helped me experience this fresh eyed view of my hair growth. On that note I will review my goals and talk about my new ones.

Pre-poo oil treatments (4) Check!

Do not look in the mirror to check for length. Check!

Go 2 weeks with just finger detangling (ended up doing 3 weeks). Check Check!

These were definitely hard goals and accomplishing them was worth it! I'm going to set even harder goals for this month and challenge myself to stick with them. Obviously it is really helping my growth. So here are my new goals.

1) Take my vitamins every day.

2)Scalp massages once a week.

3)Do not look in the mirror to check for length (after washing hair).

4) Work on eliminating flakes on scalp.

Quick review of my choices. I haven't been consistent with my vitamins lately so I want to do better with that. I rarely do scalp massages anymore and I have some good oils to choose from so I want to get back on that horse. The mirror goal was a huge success from last month so I want to continue and challenge myself to do it again. And the last one, I noticed that I have flakes on my scalp. I have tea tree oil and ACV to help with that and so far it seems to be working, but I want to try to eliminate it completely. We will see how that goes. After this successful month, I have loads of energy to bring into month number 4!

Happy Healthy Hair Journey Ladies :)
