Just wanted to share my 2010 updates.
You guys know how I overdo it with the pics. lol I took down my weave at 14 weeks, and this is what I had in store for me. I'm going to claim MBL regardless of what y'all say. lol
I still need 2.5-3" to WL, but hopefully I'll get there sometime this year.
I've been having some fun with my hair. As it gets longer, I realize that it tangles easier and faster, so I can't do a lot of wet bunning. Also, I'm still working on the knots.
Anyway, here are the pics. I have more in my fotki.
Hair takedown. Took my sister 4 hours to take it out. There was a lot of thread, and it was a little difficult to see.


This is my hair before I started detangling.

First section is detangled. I applied some pantene repair mask deep conditioner, and detangled.

Shed hair from first section.

Next section detangled.

Shed hair from second section.

Length Check


Isn't shrinkage amazing?!

I'm stretching the tendril in the pic above.

Wash n go
(hair is still wet -- left some conditioner in my hair, and raked IC fantasia gel through my hair)

Dry


I've been wearing my hair in buns, and this updo/banana comb style. I hate the way it looks curly when it's out. Since the stylist cut 3-6" off the sides and crown when I got rid of my relaxed ends, it doesn't look right to me. The layered shape is off. The back is longer so it looks kinda skimpy while the rest looks bulky.


Dry hair


Next day

Update: (I will post pics of my BKT in another thread). I got it done on Friday, and I'm in love. lol I'm trying to wait until I wash on Wednesday to post my review. I have a few positives/negatives so far, and I want to give an honest review of the process and the way my hair is reacting to it.
I did a search and destroy for splits, and I have about 10% left to cut. My hair is growing in layers, so I might get .5-1" trimmed.
Here's a teaser pic I took when I made it home. I guess I still need Sabino because my hair started growing as soon as I left the stylist. It's a little frustrating because he said that I'm not suppose to mess with it until I wash out the treatment. It's really smooth, but he didn't get it really straight. There's still a lot of texture, kinda poofy.
