Everyone, thank you for the very nice compliments. I sure appreciate them!
@Blackdiva- My hair is natural and I press it with a hot comb and use a flat iron to straighten it (someone does it for me). My regimen is wash, condition, weekly, use a leave-in daily and protective styling, especially the baggy method.
@Poohbear- I am not sure if I have reached terminal length. As Irresistible mentioned, it's still thickening up, so it must still be growing. Whatever it is doing, it is doing so gradually - as in SLOW!
@Fine 4s-I am starting to think that baggying does make a big difference for my type of hair.
Alright, I am not going to milk this thread anymore. I would love to do that and keep bumping it up to continue to get more compliments, but that would start to work folks' nerves!
If anyone has a question about my process, please feel free to send me a pm! I am in great company with all of you and all your beautiful heads of hair. Thank you again for the support and the encouragement.
