I really miss my big hair.
I’m thinking of taking these braids out at week 8. I could go much longer. I had a crazy idea that I could wear mini braids until I reached bra strap length. After 8 weeks the most growth I’d have is 1″ and for whatever reason my hair seems perpetually stuck at armpit length. Even though it’s a tad longer it still looks APL. It’s funny because my wash and goes look fuller and longer but my straight hair seems to fall at the same spot and it has some sort of shrinkage.
ugh…I’m just fed up of being a slow grower right now. I know I’ve retained every bit of my growth in these mini braids but still…le sigh.
Maybe I’ll wear some wigs for a while and hold out on these braids…

I took my mini braids out for the same reason lol 🙂 I. Missed my “puff”, however, they will be back soon enough b/c soon I will miss having mini braids
same here, lol. I know I’ll take them out just to want them back in again. I’ll wear the wigs and see how I feel then. 🙂
I’m a slow grower too and it can suck! Don’t be discouraged; you’re doing everything you can to retain your length and you’ll see the difference once you remove the mini braids! Hang in there!
I’m trying to, lol. I’m going through one of my impatient phases at the moment. Mini braids are the best thing I’ve done as far as retention is concerned…it’s just a matter of waiting for growth. Thanks for the encouragement!
