I woke up rested, got my little one in to school, got home, smoked a bowl, and fired up my virtual machines to grind pennies out of crappy cash grab mobile games to waste some time this morning. Stopped to use the bathroom quick, and was admiring how my hair line is coming in. I’ve had a lot of dysphoria about my hair before I knew what that was, it was the first thing that meant a lot to me and I didn’t know why, it was the first thing they took from me to try to break my will, and it was my first panic attack. Anyway, there is a lot of emotion tied up in my hair, and I wanted to share that with somebody and my first reaction was to send a selfie to my mom, but I couldn’t. So instead I’m sitting here upset that I can’t even celebrate my simple wins with my mom because of the way she acted last time (if you’re curious, you can read her exact words in a prior post).

Anyway, One of The garbage mobile games I’m playing is monopoly go, and they have this ADORABLE pink heart shield as a reward for the tournament, and that sucker is mine 💅

Blessed be ladies 💋 XOXO

At least you won't have to deal with several inches of difference xd. Have you tried taking hair growth supplement blends or supplements that support hair growth? I took a specific supplement for a while and added collagen to my routine permanently when I bleach fried a bunch of hair off. It definitely made my hair grow faster. I lived with a choppy mess pulled up one way or another until it was long enough to cut it even without leaving it short enough to make me cry anyway x_x

No, I haven’t, but I need to up my vitamin game anyway. What did you use, dearie?

The bottle of specific hair supplements was just a generic hair, skin, and nails deal from like Centrum or something. It was by the prenatal vitamins that are also known for boosting hair growth. It had biotin and collagen and keratin and most of a multivitamin. These days I get biotin and vitamins from my Focus Factor and keep collagen in my routine. The collagen also helps with injection site healing, but makes my skin so tough and healthy and elastic that injection is more difficult and hurts worse to begin with x_x Worth it, though, for the overall effects on my hair, skin, and joints. Dramatically less knee pain from an old injury when I have my collagen.
