Holding my spot - I'll be back next month

I don't think I'm happy with my progress, but I'm also majorly hairorexic. So, I guess this is me saving my spot. Maybe. We'll see.

Don't let the looks fool you...
Overall, I'm grateful that I still have hair. My hair could be healthy APL by now, now it's just brittle SL.
It's dry and breaking like crazy right now.

I regret relaxing too often (every 6-8 weeks, bad I know) coloring like 2 times with demi, bleached highlights, bigen twice, and BKT. I'm throwing in the towel...

I've done wayyyyy to much to my hair the past 2 years, and finally caught up to me...we'll see how 2010 goes, all I know is it's going to be K.I.S.S. all the way.

These were my last progress pics, which were taken in January. It was my natural hair straightened.

About a month later, I decided to give up being natural and relaxed.

I think I will length check this weekend so I'll try to remember to post my pic!

I will definatley post come January because I will be 3 years relaxer free and growing!
 
I'm getting my hair did on Thursday. I'm sooooo excited! I've been stretching for 8 months and can't wait to see the results! I'll post at some point on Friday or over the weekend!.
 
Those are my plaits in early November or late October. October was a year since my cut to 1/2 in. Moving towards APL stretched!

This year I finally went natural.

Here I am in May 2009, right before getting the last 3 inches of my relaxed ends cut off:

Here's my fully natural hair in August 2009 after the 3 inches of relaxed ends were removed:

This picture was taken a few days ago on Dec. 2, 2009:

It's nice taking pics, because sometimes I feel as if my hair isn't growing, then I look at the pics....I've tweaked my regimen and am now focusing on hair health.

Question: How are you ladies making comparision pics? What programs are you using? I'd like to make comparsion pics but don't know how...
 
I was going to post my progress on Jan 1st but I dont have the patience to wait

Wonderful progress ladies! Mwedzi, you are STILL my Hair Heroine, just gorgeous.

My Siggy shows my progress from Feb. when I joined until November or so. The attachment shows Feb (white top and pony), June (red-no pony shot), and December (gray and red top w/pony for comparison) respectively. I'm pretty happy with my first year here.

I've had one convert (based solely on, "Wow your hair looks great what did you buy/do?" factor), three wig/weave checks, and two professional dustings with, "You've done well, I don't need to take of very much at all" from my beautician.

Here are mine! I decided to show my twists cuz I was shocked at how much my hair has changed. :grin::grin::grin: I didn't straighten or take any stretched pics when I BC'd, so this is the best I can do.

My last relaxed was the weekend b4 my sister's wedding on Mar 09. I BC'd Aug 09.

I'm really happy with the progress! :drunk: Oh, and I've trimmed my whole head once since the BC, and I've been snipping away at some straight ends on the right side.
(Opps, posted the same side twice, i'm too impatient to go back and fix it.)
