I just a got relaxer after 6 month stretch. My hair definitely got thicker but I'm never stretching that long again! My last picture is from Jan because when I got a relaxer in either April of May I wasn't happy with the growth so I didn't take pictures hahaha.

My ends are still thin but I don't know if I should cut or not because they seem to be filling out on their own. Hopefully I'll be BSL next time I relax and MBL by my 17th Birthday in July :grin:






Before After



I don't have a solid regimen, I'm still trying to find my staples. My hair is definitely much healthier, Now I just gotta work on these ends and getting to MBL!

Thanks for all the tips ladies :)

you are adorable, such a pretty young lady! congrats on your stretch and i would just dust because ladies on the forum have shown proof than there is such a thing as lead hairs. can you dust your own ends?the salon may hack the thin ends off. or maybe you mom could do it for ya.

Thanks! Yeah I'm sure my mom could dust my ends for me.
 
You and your hair are so pretty! I'm surprised that you are not already considered bsl based on where your hair falls! I agree that your ends are certainly filling out on their own, so let em do what they do if they are healthy.

Just a suggestion and definitely not hate - but I noticed that between January and now it looks like there has been about 1" of retention? I know you said you are working on your reggie, and maybe your hair is just filling out before TAKING off, but just asking if you have had any setbacks or why you think this is?

Thank You!

I don't know why it only grew so little, when I first got the shirt in January it was on like the 3 and now it's only at 5 :( I haven't had any significant breakage, and the only setback I've had was when I got a blow-out but I believe that only affected the thickness. Maybe it's my products, I haven't found a staple moisturizer yet. Hopefully it will take-off soon :)

I'm sure it will! I was asking specifically because I don't do long term stretches but sometimes I wonder if I would have more progress if I did. I grow 0.5" per month but I definitely have not retained 6" this year...so I am always interested in the WHY factor! Where is my hair going?! lol.

I always wonder the same thing hahaha.

Thanks for the comments ladies :)
 
nice progress..keep at it, im sure you will find what your have loves very soon!..your hair looks very good!
 
Congrats. I love your sig pics!

I think the most amazing thing is that you are so young (not trying to sound berating, LOL) and are keeping up with your OWN HHJ. My sister is 15 and has a hair album etc, but only because I started taking care of her hair back in 2008 when I discovered LHCF (I was 20 at the time). I can only imagine what my hair would look like NOW had I decided to take care of it in high school!
