My 2013 hair challenge (January/August)     Current hair state:   Length - Front 11in, Back 9in, Middle 9in  Thickness -Very thick but with layers. Hair needs to be evened up to see full thickness    Shedding/breakage -Hair sheds a lot and breaks a lot needs moisture and/or protein    Ends/clipping -An inch will be clipped off after length check or close to new year then will be remeasured      Regimen:   Keep hair braided for 3/4 weeks at a time  Shampoo hair while in braids every 2 weeks if keeping braids in for 4 weeks  Blow dry hair after I shampoo and condition hair  Clips ends when knots and split ends are visible  Gradually even hair up all over by clipping longest hair
