Jasmine's Hair Diary

The last time I flat ironed my hair, I noticed that the ends looked frayed. They were straightening like the rest of my hair. Isn't that the worst look? Some of you know what I'm talking about. It felt so good to cut those ends off last night! I took off about a half an inch so I'm back down to 5.5 inches. :(

I just realized this is the first time I've clipped my ends since I started this new growth. I did the big chop in May 2008. That means I grown my hair for one year and seven months with no clipping. Yeah, I don't think that's good.

If hair grows at an average of a half an inch per month, that means after one year, you should have six inches. However, I have six inches and I've been growing my hair for 19 months. Whoa, I'm way behind. I should have almost ten inches right now!

Either my hair grows extra slow (which I believe it does), or the fact that I haven't clipped my ends has stunted my growth (which it can). Weird, but it semms my hair has grown faster since I started relaxing it... Maybe an illusion.

Anyway! Don't be like me people! Clip your ends often!
