Hair Update: 7 months post relaxer

[BillsBackerz67]

Happy New Year ladies! Here are some Update pics. As most of you know I was natural for 8 years, and June 8, 2011, I decided to cut my hair into a bob and relax my hair. So far my hair is doing very well. No split ends, breakage, or knots. Im just 1 week shy of being 7 months post. Im wondering if I can make it to a full year?

Every NYE I get a trim. So yesterday I went to a Dominican salon and trimmed an inch. A few months ago, I had a half inch trimmed. Im almost close to my Tyra goal in my siggy

Pics are Below. The 1st pic is from June, the rest are from today (Yes I have on Footie PJ's with Dinosaurs please dont judge me)

Do you want to do long relaxer stretches or are you transitioning?

Your hair looks very healthy. Did you mention your reggie?

 

[mEmYSELFaNDj]

Your hair is so pretty and shiny.

 

[Honi]

Rain20 Nope I just stretch for long periods of time. Its easier to stretch because my hair is not relaxed bone straight, and its really difficult to distinguish my new growth from the rest of my hair until about the 6th month.

For the past two months Ive been wearing 2 corn rows and if I have to go somewhere Ill take it out and wear my hair in a braid out.

I deep condition about twice a month with Keracare Humecto. Every once in a blue moon Ill do a Protein treatment with the Elucence Moisture Breakage Repair conditioner.

For cornrow/ braidouts I detangle with Aussie moist in the shower. Rinse, apply VO5 strawberry and cream condish (or suave cocobnut) to wet hair along with Lacio Lacio Leave in (trying to get rid of it) braid my hair wet, tie with a scarf for however long and take the scarf off when Im ready to go to work or run an errand.

Once I relax Im going to attempt rollersetting myself so I wont have to go to the salon. Right now I cant really do it myself because I have a lot of new growth, and its hard to place the rollers when my technique is sub par.

Glad Im not the only one. They keep me warm

Your hair is so perfect and shiny it doesn't even look real . It reminds of a bob lacefront I just bought, but your hair looks so much better

@BillsBackerz67 Very full and shiny...beautiful! You're going to get to that goal length in no time.

BillsBackerz67 Your ends are amazing! Especially, since you only trim once a year. What do you attribute the perfect condition of your ends to?

Theresamonet I cut off 10 inches in june, trimmed in october, and then again yesterday so thats probably a huge reason why my ends still look good. I dont use a lot of direct heat either. Nor do I use a brush.

Brittster Thanks I do it about twice a week. Only because my braids start to look old and frizzy real quick no matter what I do. But thats how my hair is natural or relaxed

I found my hair twin! Keep up the good work! I also stretch for months at a time. I stretch my hair for 7-9 months at a time. Our hair is about the same length also. Keep doing what your doing!

[brittle_hair]

Your hair looks really healthy and thick, but what made you cut off so much hair in the first place?

 

[JJamiah]

Beautiful Hair, Just beautiful

Are you transitioning again? I would be very happy to have natural hair long enough to bun!
