Hey, guys! Just a quick update here - and it’s a good one! My hair is definitely starting to look and feel like my hair of old. I’m gaining length, my strands feel more “solid” and... it’s thicker, y’all! Woo-hoo!
If you’ve been following my Restoration chronicles then you know that I’ve been working assiduously trying to bring my hair back from the brink of extinction. I trimmed the ends religiously. And it grew in length. But lagged in numbers still.
And so I trimmed. And it grew and got a little thicker... but, much to my dismay, still had yet to fully fill in as I had quite a noticeable gap of missing hair right smack in the middle.
On top of all that, I had breakage near my nape - which I knew was there, but I had avoided addressing for whatever irrational reason that had populated in my pretty little head.
Okay, that’s not exactly what happened. What had happened was... I finally had enough growth to where I felt I could duly address the incessant gap and made what I’m hoping will be the last big chop to my hair; I cut my hair all the way up to where the gap was and now my hair is thick throughout.
OMG, guys - I finally have thickness, y’all! Did you hear me? Man, listen... Look at this ponytail! Do you all see this? Do you?! No more see-throughs! Not a thin, crazy strand in sight! And now I truly have a clean slate on which to start my length building on. I am so pumped, y’all... I mean, I can’t even properly explain it. But I feel good.
So there you have it. I’m starting off the new year (happy belated, guys!) with a brand new attitude, a more streamlined vision for my life... and a new, FULLER head of hair to boot and I am juiced! It’s taken almost a year for me to get back to this point, but I’m here. Count it all joy!
The comeback kid is in the building, y’all! And I can’t wait to see how much (and how fast) we can grow. Who’s here for waist-length? Alrighty then... LET’S GO!
