Unfortunately, I didn't take any progress pics, but 2010 was a huge year for me. On June 4th, I BC'd! :grin:

2011 will be an even bigger year. 1) because I'm graduating and turning 18 in June and starting college in the fall and 2) I will reach APL. I hope.
 
Here is my progress. I hope to be full MBL by in 2011, hopefully by my 3rd year nappyversary in June. The tail of my hair is reaching for BSL but I need a deep trim that would probably set me back to full APL. I'm debating if I should wait until it gets longer to trim or not. First pic is December 2008, second is September 2009 and the last one is today.

I joined LHCF in fall 2009 and was shoulder length. I was just past SL by Jan and am now BSB. :drunk: I am confident that I will be full MBL with healthy ends this time next year (Lord, willing:yep:)

I'm pretty happy with my progress for the year. I didn't really make my goal of BSL because my ends were in need of a trim, but that's okay.
For next year, I'm going to concentrate on trimming my pre-LHCF ends and would like to have full and healthy MBL hair.
And a skinnier body. :look::lachen:
 
Believe it or not, I am a slow grower, lol. Some years I barely get 2.5-3" for the entire year but this year I started a new regimen that I stick with every single week and it helped me to get to APL. Unlike others who seem to get the average 6" of growth per year naturally, I have to work at it daily, weekly and consistently, and that is what paid off for me this year:yep:.

and you thought you were a slow grower?

Janet' do you have an update? I love your siggie picture - you look so happy.

Bwahahahaha!!!! :look: :look: I will be "revealing" Dec 31, 2010 at 11:59 pm...Girl, I need every single day, hour, and minute to help me reach my short-term goal of MBL--Send me some fairy dust please!!! :lachen: :lachen:...No, seriously...:look: :look:

Lol...I'm a pretty happy person- that was at a wedding in October in Chicago (I was a bridesmaid) :grin:
 
I actually started my HHJ this year!

In january i decided that i wanted to transition to being natural

i then went on to transition untill july (i had transitions for the better part of 7 months)i did LOTS of protective styling( i.e. buns, ponytails, bantu knot outs.

then i bc'd in july and have been rocking my curly hair ever since. Right now i'm about 5 month post bc. :yep:

I hope next year is as eventful hairwise as 2010 was. :grin:

I love this thread. I don't have any straight pics from last December so I'll compare the curls.

I'm hoping for MBL in 2011!
 
Thank you. My regi is pretty simple because I'm lazy.
DC once a week and moisturize and seal daily.
I only wear protective and low manipulation styles and I use heat maybe 3-4 times a year.
I'm not married to any products.
 
Ladies, congratulations! You all have made such wonderful progress. This thread reminds me that I need to a a better job of taking pictures and documenting my hair growth. Hopefully that will help stave off the "my hair isn't growing" feelings.

Again, congratulations!
 
I just started taking pictures so the earliest I have is August. I'm straightening my hair today and I thought I should take some wet comparison pictures. I recently got a trim to get rid of some weak looking ends. I'm 15 months post by the way. 'm hoping to be at least bsl or more. I'm about 5 feet 3 inches. I may post my straightened hair after i finish.

I decided that I no longer wanted to relax in March which made me google how to take care of natural hair. I found LHCF and started on my HHJ and transitioning.

This is the first length picture I ever took back in May.

Then on July 2nd a SHS gave me a "trim"
