[Nix08]

Pre relaxer...

Relaxed yesterday...cowashed today. This is my airdried hair with my lead hairs Nor are my roots fully dry....

ETA: Looks like I need to learn how to resize pics....

 

[Raspberry]

Great results Nix08!

 

[Nix08]

Thanks Raspberry

Here's a styled pic or 2 created with 2 bantu knots.

Nix08 - gorgeous results!

I fell asleep while airdrying last night, so I'm late with my pics!

Before: 15 weeks post:

After:

I am sooooo happy with my results! I'm having fun trying to style all this straight hair. I'd gotten used to managing my newgrowth. I think I'll cowash tonight and put in some bantu knots.

 

[Hairsnob]

Great results ladies. I can't see all the pics though :-( but the ones I see are great!

I did relax my hair before I went away for the weekend but didn't get a chance to take pics when I styled it at the hotel because my hair was a mess. I put too much stupid CHI SI in it and it wouldn't hold a curl so I was disgusted and didn't want to take a pic. I'm not sure if it was the extra humidity because I was near the shore or if it was too much product. Will take one this weekend though.

Getting my hair relaxed on Saturday, fingers crossed I've gotten some good growth! Will be back with pics soon

 

[sunnieb]

Bumping for the weekend relaxers......

Don't forget to post your pics in here!!!!

 

[bebezazueta]

Thanks sunnieb & havilland

sunnieb your reveal is awesome lady! You are growing nicely

 

[Nat1984]

So here are my pics...

I'll be honest, I'm pretty disappointed right now - my stylist trimmed my hair today, following which my hair is pretty much the same length it was when I got it done 8 weeks ago. So no closer to APL

 

[sunnieb]

Nat1984 - Your hair is beautiful! Don't be disappointed in the results. Try not to focus so much on the length, but the health of your hair. The length will come!

 

[Nat1984]

Thanks sunnieb - you're right, my problem is lack of patience, but I should be (and I am) happy that I have a relatively healthy head of hair. I'm just longing for the days of having hair down my back!

 

[sunnieb]

Bumping for the weekend relaxers! Show off your freshly relaxed heads!

 

[sunnieb]

Double post....

 

[Evolving78]

[Bnster]

posting when I am 6 mths post. Then I will do my official length check for this year. Can't wait. Time to prepare for my next relaxer.

 

[Bnster]

Nix08 your hair is looking good you are almost BSL! Keep up the good work.

 

[Nix08]

Thx Bnster I can't wait to see your reveal

 

[Evolving78]

Bnster

I can't wait to see your reveal and where you are in your length as well. You have a great growth chart going on. I know I said that before to you. LOL

 

[Bnster]

Ms. Tiki the pic in your siggy your hair is so nice and full. Quite beautiful you want me to cut mine to have that look. Very nice, was that a recent cut or something?

 

[Ms. Tiki]

Bnster Thanks so much! Yes, I cut it on Dec 30th. My hair grows in a "V" and I can't stand it. Plus, I have a thing for nice neat ends/hemline. The funny part is what I cut has already grown back.

 

[Raspberry]

Took a pic today, got a retouch last Thursday. This isn't a very good pic lol.. I swear I'm gonna get better at taking back shots so I can get a better length pic. I got a small trim and my longest layer is APL. This is the straightest my hair's gonna be for a while, I'm stepping it up in the gym so it's gonna be mostly co-washing, bunning, and twist-outs/braid-outs until spring.

 

[divachyk]

pre_medicalrulz, your progress is nice in your siggy

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

divachyk

Thanks! You are my bun-fabulous-wearin'-rockin'-queen!!

 

[divachyk]

Oh snap thanks pre_medicalrulz My ends are stringy right now (again) and could use a good trim. I do admire how you ends caught up with each other from Aug 11 to Dec 11.

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

LOL! Yea at first it was doing this funky V shape when I stretched for almost a year. So when I cut the V into a blunt shape in April, it hasn't grown back into it at all. You should be WL in a few months if not already by your default pic.

 

[Bnster]

Bnster Thanks so much! Yes, I cut it on Dec 30th. My hair grows in a "V" and I can't stand it. Plus, I have a thing for nice neat ends/hemline. The funny part is what I cut has already grown back.

Ms. Tiki that is awesome so well worth it then! You really did not loose out.

 

[Ms. Tiki]

Bnster You're right! I was shocked but happy. I still need to take an official length pic. Yeah, I'm a month late...procrastinating on the flat ironing.

Bumping for the weekend relaxers......

Sent from my Comet using LHCF

 

[Mische]

My iPhone + the lighting in this bathroom leaves much to be desired with this pic, but I can see the difference since the fall. I promise to take better pics with my upcoming wash. I'm going to try airdrying and then flat ironing to see if I have less breakage than using the comb attachment.

And some pre-relaxer pics:

I also took a pic to see where it fell in front, and it's ever so slightly below my chest:
