Thanks. If I can just get rid of this congestion and pesky cough. Started out as severe allergies and morphed into a sinus infection/ear, nose, throat-thing. I'm good.I'm about to apply my Bee Mine and MSM.
Zora I have heard of Sulfur springs, but showers wow. Please share.....
Njoy, I didn't know you wereI hope you feel better soon.
I don't like what my hair is turning into. I may go back to texlaxing.

I slacked off big time on my mix this week and only applied it once (last night). At least I feel good about upping my vitamins. I plan to relax at 6 weeks post this weekend so I'll be clarifying tonight which means that's it for the Sulfur till next week
I know you all are probably cringing at relaxing so early but with all this new growth 5 weeks post feels like 8 weeks. Last night I noticed more than normal breakage, which is usually a sign that it's time to relax. Stretching longer usually puts me in a worse place.
I don't think I did that great of a job in retaining because my hair doesn't look much longer considering all the new growth I have. It's definitely fuller though.
Good luck and HHG!!

) . We've been doing a lot of checking in. I want to see fruit!! And then I'm not going to check again until the end of the summer. 
Ehn, we'll see. 
Yeah, I've decided that I'm going to let my ng tell me when it's time to relax. I usually try to relax no less than 12 weeks but, last time, I didn't quite make it to 10 weeks. My NG was crazy and I was a nervous wreck worrying about breakage. I was having bad dreams, scared to manipulate my hair at all. Oh, I was a mess!! And I definitely don't want to wait until I get breakage to tell me it's time to relax. That stretching is for normal growth and is cool for as long as you can manage it but, uh... I've learned to listen to my hair and when it says, enough is enough, guess what? Enough is enough!
I think today will be my last day using sulfur just in case.
Looking forward to our end of June length checks. I'm trying not to keep checking every 2 weeks (keep it real. trying not to keep checking daily
Now you know you lying.
I may have to braid my hair up for the summer. Still weighing that option. But I loves me some cowashing loose hair! 
OT. CarolineTwin, Venus was outta line for that outfit in your avi. IDK. Maybe she was making a point but, I'm still gonna have to call "foul" on that one.
You know it's funny you mentioned that. If you really think about it. Stretching to your normal relaxing time will not feel the same while using growth aids.
I remember feeling the same way at 5 weeks post, it felt like 8. And in all actuallity (don't know if that's a word), You could very well have 8 weeks worth of ng.
I trying to stretch to 12 weeks, somethiing I don't normally do because, like you I experience breakage and shedding. I'm just hoping for a nice surprise.
Right now I'm 9 weeks post, and the ng is crazy. I'm really fighting dryness with everything in me. At times my ng actually feels crunchy.
The only things that are saving me are, prepooing with Ceramide rich oils like WGO and Hemp oils at night and cowashing them out in the morning.
These oils work wonders for increasing pliability & moisture in the hair.
Castor oil is also excellent for laying down ng and keeping it moist.
Ayurvedic oils and Chi Keratin mist are helping me also by decreasing shedding and breakage.

Maybe all that ng is keeping you from really seeing what you've retained. I'll bet you're in for a nice surprise this weekend. We'll be here waiting to see.
Yeah, I keep thinking the ng is all shriveled up and will give me a big surprise. Hopefully I'll see some progress that'll make me want to snap some pics. I hope I can hang in there till the end of June though.
...but feel free to take some pics after your relaxer to share this weekend. I don't think anyone will mind. End of June is a loooong way from now but, that's more time to rack up more NG. 
Um...
I'm itching to take a peek and post some pics of my hair too.
I airdried my hair in 2 bantu knots. I can't stop feeling on the NG. I love it!
erplexed I don't get it. I had so much new growth and even in the pictures I couldn't see any progress. I didn't notice any breakage or shedding either so I'm really confused. I even measured and it seems I only retained about 3/4 of an inch from about 4/25 to 6/5 (just about 6 weeks). My new growth had to be at least 1.5 inches from that time. I always measure the entire length of the strand from the scalp from each section of my head (top/crown/back). So now all my measurements will be for the fullest part instead of trying to take credit for the scragglers. I was just so disappointed after all the hard work with all the scalp mixes and even adding MSM and Biotin and using much less heat than ever. So hopefully my next length check won't be a bust since I'll have a more accurate measurement. I guess I need to get a trim, huh.

^^^Realistically Hairsnob, for a 6 week period, your hair should have grown about half the length you mentioned above, ie, 3/4 of an inch instead of 1.5 inches. 1.5 inhes of growth is more relaistical over a 12 week period, not 6 weeks. This could really crush you if you continually have such high expectations and not get them over the long haul. Just thougth I'd interject this tiny correction. Your hair growing gorgeous and thick in your siggy none the less
Now before you ask to see pics. I'm trying to wait to our reveal date. I have been basically pinning my hair up and forgetting about it. I'm hoping I get a nice surprise when I post my before and afters.
