Not that much progress, but it has grown!

BC was on 16 Dec 08, photo with the braids I decided to do on my bday 21 Nov 09, middle shot is of length check, I took a braid out to see the length! I am happy that it is growing back. I also did 3 trims in 09 about .5 for the 1st trim and 1 in second trim to the last trim prior to the braids which was 2 in.

By the way I am proud of my very 1st attempt with yarn braids. I did them large just to do them and see what they would look like. I think when I take them out to redo them at the end of JAN 2010 they will be fuller and more uniform.

Looka here Miss BeanTown. Ima need you to go sit down somewhere with all that progress!!! Good grief!
 
Here are my pics.

I made my 2009 goal of full SL. I'm most happy with growing out my layers and my sides to SL (wish I had taken a side view pic comparison :sad: -- oh well). My best achievement is that I can wear my hair in bun--finally!

This is best my hair has looked in a good 5-7 years. All thanks to LHCF.

Now I'm onward in my journey to APL!

Here is my progress from January through October. I will not be doing another str8 length check this year because my hair takes too long for my liking to bounce back!

I managed to grow my sides down to shoulder and the back to APL (grazing in October for sure it's there now) on to BSL in 2010!

Great progress. I love your hair as well. OT a bit; where did you get your growth tshirt? I'd like to get one to track my progress.

Thanks,

BostonMaria, you are growing!

I've done better than I thought. 4" over the last year! If I can keep this up, I'll be wl this time next year.

I must cosign. your progress is the truth. now, how do you straighten your hair. i understand you are natural now, so how do you go about straightening it. and what is your full regi. I'm taking notes. :lol:.
 
My hair is currently in braids, but here are the last comparisons I did. I try to compare similar styles to show comparative length. I think I posted them elsewhere but here they are again:

Texlaxed/Transitioning - Nape and edges fell out from neglect

I tried to hide the nape and edges damage while they grew back out.

That's all. From January to now there have been AMAZING changes. At the beginning of this year, I wouldn't have thought my hair would be so healthy. Thank you all so much for all your knowledge, help and SUPPORT! :hug2:



Looking forward to more growth in 2010! :)



Sorry about all the pictures, I'm just excited and happy when I look back!

Ok, here's my progress in a nutshell, I cut off 2 inches all around in October

Great thread. It made me look at how far Ive come and appreciate my growth. I've been a little bummed about the 2 inches I lost :sad: . I could've almost been BSL.

Ive reached a short term goal this month of being APL without pulling my hair down with my fingers. It hangs right at the APL line.

OK so I decided to do this today. I wanted to wait until the 31st but here they are anyway.

Wow! Lovely progress everyone. Especially BronxJazzy, Neith, curlyreese, Auburn & BostonMaria, all you have done an amazing job, not only in length, but the health and general condition of your hair. Congrats! :yep:
 
This is my haircut that I got in January of this year.
