Slow Growth

I am a little over 2 months into my transition and the front of my hair is growing VERY SLOOOOOOWLYYYY! its killing me. All of my new growth seems to be growing slow, but this area is definitely the slowest. Has anyone else experienced this? How much new growth did you have at 2 months/2 1/2 months ?

I didn't have much in the front @ 2 months. The front of my hair grows extra slow compared to the rest. I'm 6 months post and the little growth I have up front used to "kill" me but I'm okay with it. I check out youtube videos of ppl that are transitioning to see if I'm a little on point with my growth. No worries, it's gonna grow!

I didn't measure at 2 months but here is a pic of my new growth at the begining of my 3rd month.

My hair has always grown fast, which is why I used to have to relax ever 4 to 6 weeks. Everyone was saying that was way too much, now they can see why. But no more relaxer for me, I'm embracing my curls. Hang in there, everyone is different. Your hair is definitely growing but it just may be at a different rate from others. Take a photo of the same area once a month and I'm sure you'll see some progress. HTH!

i think it's natural for the front of the hair to grow slowly. It's also just genetics how EACH hair follicle grows. You could have a strand of hair in the middle just as short as the front (even though I know that doesn't mean much). I don't know how much new growth I had, because I didn't pay attention until I joined a hair care forum but it wasn't much...I don't think... But it's going to take time for your hair to grow. The average person grows 1/4 - 1/2 inch of hair each /month/ Some are slower, and some are faster. In time you'll have a head full of beautiful hair.

Thanks for the encouraging words ladies. I am going to try and be patient because I definitely don't want to go back to the relaxer. After the weekend, I am going to put my hair in a protective style so that I won't be able to see it. Maybe that will ease some of my anxiousness. lol

It's been April 15th since my last relaxer and my new growth is slow too. The front and back barely new growth the middle is already killing me. I guess that's a good thing because I can still wear my roller wrap but when it really come out don't know what ima do.

You're not the only one! I'm 6.5 months post and having the same issue - the perimeter of my hair is def coming in slower than other parts. The crown & center of my hair is growing the fastest. It really hard to tell if its a case of scab hair or something else. I had gotten a few severly underproccessed touch ups prior to dec 09, so I'm not totally sure if that has something to do with it.
