wash day + length check | 12.31

i kept it super simple for wash day to make sure i wouldn't have too much build-up because i straightened my hair! i went back and forth about it because it was so dry, but i really wanted to get a good idea of how long i had until waist-length.


i deep conditioned overnight with bee mine deep conditioner (this actually works well now that my hair isn't porous!), washed with bee mine shampoo, and did a final condition with bee mine conditioner.
i put two quarter-sized puddles of argan oil throughout my hair, towel dried thoroughly, and let my hair air dry.
i flat ironed on 365 (i used a babyliss flat iron with an attached comb!) and that was it.






most of my hair is a little past midback-length minus the cheek-length bangs i cut in may which are now past collar bone length and almost armpit length.  my belt is at waist-length, and i hope to claim it by this time next year or sooner!
i have this one random section that is longer than the rest that i may trim or just let it do what it does until i do the big evening up cut on my 30th birthday.
i have four orange perm rods in as we speak to give my hair a bit of a bump, and then i will be ready to head to my nye party!

any nye plans? how was your wash day?

It seems like my left side ALWAYS grows faster/fuller/more beastmode than the rest of my hair! I just adore your hair girl! I have perm rods sitting in my straightened hair waiting for a fabulous NYE party too. (At my house on my couch...) HAHA!


Thanks for sharing your #washdayexperience!

It's so weird! My right side is definitely longer and I have no idea why!
The perm rods worked beautifully! I was surprised :)

Thanks so much!!!! I'm happy - this is the longest it has ever been, and I can't wait to see what the next 3 years will bring :)

In 3 years, I predict you will be on auto-pilot and just letting your hair be great without little to no worry about tracking progress.

Congrats on your length progress! Your hair looks amazing and so healthy! I definitely see you reaching waist length before the end of next year. BTW I need to hear more about this flat iron with attached comb please! Sounds so lovely, because this comb chase thing is a bit of a hassle. LOL!

Thanks, Andrea!
I used this one! http://www.beautyofnewyork.com/shopping/G7D6020510KI1006.htm

I can't seem to find it in stock anywhere, though :(
I bought it a few years ago.
