Thanks, yes I am relaxed. I cowash and wet bun 3x/week (I leave in a regular conditioner like Redken Allsoft and seal with EVOO) and rollerset once/week. For the past 2 weeks I have been cwing every day because I am trying to keep my hair moist for my highlights TU tomorrow.

I relax every 3 months and touch up the color 3 - 4 times/year. The only heat I use regularly is my Pibbs, and the only direct heat is when I go to the salon.
 
ETA: Here are higher quality shots after I got my highlights done last Friday:

Hi ladies,

Here are some preliminary pics of my progress in the 9 months I've been on this board. I had to use my webcam so they are not pics from the back yet and the resolution is low.:ohwell: DH said he's going to help me take some more high quality back shots. Thanks to all the lovely ladies on this board for your advice and support. Special thanks to Tiffers because her cowashing challenge has really helped me get through this last stretch!!!

VERY PRETTY!!!!!
 
wow your hair is so pretty.

THAT is FULL APL right there!

I'm envious of your successful double processing. Tell me, what brand of color does your stylist use or are you an Aveda color girl? (I feel as though I may have asked you this before).
 
That is AWESOME progress for 9 months- thicker and longer!! Your highlights are just beautiful!!!! Congrats and thanks for sharing!
 
Beautiful! I haven't seen that contrast in highlights before. You're hair has made tremendous progress in 9 months.
 
Gorgeous hair! I think I may start cowashing daily also, its only been 6 weeks since my last touch up and already there's tons of new growth. It tends to get dry.

You don't experience much breakage with the daily COs?

No - I let the shower water smooth my hair back, then I lightly dry with a towel, slick on some conditioner and loosely bun it up. I don't even comb or brush it. :dork: I stretch too, so when my ng gets outta control

I apply conditioner and tie a silky scarf on top.
