So...I am disappointed in a few things going on in my hair journey -- so let's talk hair!

In Dec 2016 these were my lengths.
Front: 18.5 inches
Right Side: 17 inches
Left Side: 17 inches
Nape: 17.5 inches
Crown: 17.5 inches

it's September 2017 and this is where I am:
Front: 19
Right Side: 16.5
Left Side: 16.5
Nape: 17
Crown: 15 inches

Basically...I've got breakage. Mainly in my crown but also all over. I recently put hydrogen peroxide in my hair after watching re_nee1's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6nACZ_9PgM&t=569s I love the color, but I think my hair is suffering for it.

I've also been wearing too many wash n go's even though I know it leads to single strand knots and split ends and ultimately breakage. I have fine hair so that comes with the territory. Wearing it shrunken and curly for more than two days is detrimental to my hair!

My plan for the rest of 2017 and beyond:
2x a week scalp massages with jojoba oil
use Aphogee strengthening treatment once a month
weekly deep conditioning with TGIN and other natural products
ayurvedic treatments: henna and amla powder
stretched styles and/or protective styles
continue to take hair vitamins
drink lots of water!

Are you protective styling this fall? Let me know in the comments!
