Hey, guys! So I’m not even gonna beat around the bush. Operation Restoration is still going strong and I gotta quick update for you that I wanna share if you’re ready. Are you ready? Well, alrighty then! Let’s go...
After washing, blow drying and flat ironing my hair the other day, I noticed immediately that the “hole” in the middle of my hair where my hair was missing has gotten smaller - which elicited a huge smile of relief to spread across my face. I’m not totally there yet, as you can see, but my hair is growing in nicely.
I have noticed over the past few weeks the shedding subsiding and a closer look at my "hair gap" has left me confident that I have successfully staved off the significant breakage that has plagued me since last we spoke.
Using the gap as a guide, I cut my hair as close to its fullest point as possible, cutting just shy of getting rid of the gap completely. Believe me - there's a method to my madness. I am trying to keep my hair at this length simply because it's easier for me to handle as far as styling, wrapping it at night, etc., but recognize that there may be one more chop on the horizon needed to completely regain its thickness before setting sail for longer length.
But I must say that I am loving the fullness I currently have right now. I can feel the weight coming back onto my shoulders. I can also feel the increased volume of tresses on my head as I bounce and walk and turn. And guess what? It feels so good, y'all!
So the final report: no length gained, however, the volume has been turned up, up, UP! I am totally encouraged and ready to step into the next phase of the operation, which is coming sooner than later. Gotta be paaaatient... remember? #WINNING
