am i trippin? or is this progress? *pics*

[TheQueenBeeMaya]

so after being completely in awe of everyone here and their beautiful hair, i too have started my own hair care journey. my regimen is simple, cowash once a week, moisturize everyday, coconut oil on ends, ACV rinse every other week, and that's it i think ! in the next week or two i'm going to be giving up flat irons too. anyways, i was looking at myself in the mirror today and i thought i saw what might be....progress ! so, of course i had to come to the boards and confirm it with you ladies. i'm TRYING to get to APL by my birthday (august 19) is that a reasonable date? my ultimate goal is bra strap length. i'm also 100% natural and have been my whole life. my hair type is 3C, but i think there also might be some 3B hidden in there as well. here are the pictures !!

november 08

In 2 months? Wow that's awesome. Keep up the good work.

 

[Ganjababy]

Yeah, you've got some good progress there!

 

[praisedancer]

Great growing, yeah there's progress. I definitely can see the difference.

 

[supermodelsonya]

You ain't tripping honey that's PROGRESS! I really like your regimen because it's simple. Sometimes a simple regimen is the best thing. That's what turned me off at first when I first started lurking the boards. I thought I needed a two page regimen to grow hair.

Girl what love handles?!? Great progress though.

 

[Toy]

Great Progress!!

as long as you have a solid regime & retain what you grow, that date seems reasonable enough for your bottom-most layer to reach/be peeking at apl. that'd be 3.5 inches of growth over 7 months, which is completely doable
... and even if it's just close, take encouragement in the fact that it is growing, and you will get there.

Yeah, I can see a difference. That's progress girl!!!!

 

[PeopleTalkDaily]

one more question guys, sorry ! in the last picture of the back of my hair, is that a V forming? does that mean as my hair grows it will become more pronounced?

 

[naturalgurl]

You've done well! Keep focusing and you will reach your goal. I love the nose ring. I want one so bad! I'm just worried that the starter ring has to be bulky and I can't do that at work. I want to wear a nice thin sparkle of gold type. Can I wear the smaller ring as a starter???

Thank you very much ! the ring i have in my nose is actually the one i pierced it with over a year ago, i'm just too lazy to change it, plus it's hard to take it out. i used to work with special needs kids and wasn't allowed to have any facial piercings so i just cut a small piece of bandaid and covered the ring, then used foundation on the bandaid to blend with my skin. hth !

Wonderful Growth....i dont know about the V forming but i personally think it's cute when your hair is long and forms a V at the ends
what can also help accelerate your growth is OCT (Ovation Cell Therapy) and/or MT (Mega Tek)....trying looking it up in the search bar. Oh! and a little bit of vitamins wont hurt either...i take GNC's Ultra Hair.

Great progress!
