Hair Length check somewhat

My hair

I don't know why my head looks so small and thin here...anyway lol. I wasn't planning on flat ironing my hair or even posting a pic to do a length check but hey why not. The last pic I took was of my hair after being straight for like two weeks and a real hot mess. So I flat ironed and here we are. My hair has grown, which I was surprised about. I am pleased with the sides of my hair have grown and are down my my chin. I've had issues with those forever it seems lol. 

I've been trying to cut back on flat ironing and not really doing much to my hair. I never flat iron a lot to begin with,I usually wash and leave my hair curly for two weeks and sometimes more, but with the cold weather coming and my hair being dryer than usual I need to add more moisture rather then taking it out. So as for my hair that suffered most from Ponytail and flat iron damage it's still not that great at least to me, so I've decided just to wait at least six months, continue trimming my ends which I plan on doing the next time I wash and just see how that works, If I don't seen any improvement I might just have to get a haircut.

So as for now my hair seems to be doing alright. I went to the store recently and bought some Tresemme Naturals conditioner, since I ran out of my beloved Aussie Moist. I have yet to try it out so I'm hoping when I do it doesn't disappoint. My goals for this month are two

1.Flat Iron less(even less than I do now)

2. Try to stay away from ponytails, they are all I have ever know for like 10 yrs and it's a hard habit to break but I need to.

and

3. Trim my ends, the last time I did was September 28th, So I'm due lol.
