Hair Diary: Hair Growth? Or Lack of It.

Maybe I'm just being impatient but I really don't feel like my hair is growing very much. I know hair only grows about 1/2 inch per month but I feel like I should have more new growth than I have right now. My last relaxer was in the beginning of June so by now I should have about an inch and a half of new growth but I don't really see it. Maybe it's just me. I guess I'm just frustrated right now with the entire process. Then I suppose I also have to figure in shrinkage too.

I guess I just need to give it more time and be patient. The failed hair experiment I had the other day didn't help the situation. I tried to do a braid out with French braids in the front but during the process I realized that I don't know how to French braid. After spending literally HOURS trying to do one braid I just got frustrated, let my hair air dry, and flat ironed it. And I know when you're transitioning you're supposed to make the relaxed hair match the natural hair, not the other way around but I just didn't care at that point. I've been practicing and I almost have the French braid thing down so maybe I'll try it again.

That's it for now. Still a little frustrated but whatever. I'm not ready to reach for the creamy crack just yet.
