Operation Restoration: Thickness

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.

And then it happened.  The heavens opened and God stretched out his powerful hand and gently pulled the rest of my struggling, missing strands down to reach the rest of my hair and voilá - thickness!

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!
