That's a nice shot. Can't really tell without the bra on. Maybe you could take a shot with one on, then we would know where BSL lands on your body. Its different for each of us. For instance, I wear my bra strap really low as you can see in my pics. So it will take me forreeveeerrrr to get there....LOL
But your hair is very pretty!
that's some good looking hair

sharifeh - Hey bud!
I'm 9 days post and I've cowashed 4 times and shampoo/deep conditioned once.
My nape was coarse as well, but that's because I don't process it as long as the other portions of my head. While moisturizing, I always double moisturize my nape and that usually whips it into shape. It's soft now.

sharifeh, I know you didn't ask me but
I usually wet my hair 1x weekly be it cowash or shampoo wash (ETA: 1x weekly holds true even after a fresh TU). My edges/nape are not as straight as the rest of my hair because I have the stylist process these areas last. Throughout the week, my nape can get a little coarse if I don't properly moisturize and/or if I'm working out a lot. I spritz my scalp daily as a hydrator to hold me over until wash day. I spritz with plain water, water/conditioner mix or even tea. Just depends on what I'm feeling at that moment.

I tried the cowash everyday thing and it didn't work. My ng doesn't respond well to cowashes just shampoo washes. Thursday needs to hurry I'm ready to relax.
ETA: thank goodness for talk to text my touch screen hasn't been responding correctly for the past couple of days now. 2 minute posts take 10 minutes?? Oh no.

I just washed today. I preserved the flat iron for a week and now it's that time. I am DC'ing as we speak. I think it might just mean that the nape area grows faster than everywhere else.

I'll be 4 weeks post on Thursday and my NG is coming in nicely. I did a scalp massage this morning with JBCO. My henna/indigo is coming in the mail today and I'm soo very excited!!! Will do my first henna application on Wednesday!! I wore my hair down on Saturday and my family was commenting on my growth and thickness but I don't see it as they do because I'm not even APL yet due to a major cut a few weeks ago. It's true that we are never satisfied with our growth. I also ordered Bamboo Leaf Tea, I'm hearing some great things about it so we'll see...fingers crossed that I'll see a nice improvement in length and health.

I don't know why I haven't joined this thread, Lord knows I've been lurking in it since the beginning:
How many weeks post are you right now? I last relaxed on Aug 21st, so six days
How long are you stretching? 12 weeks, I'm over stretches that are longer than that, for me they're dtming.
Any other info? I have normal porosity medium strands that are 4b+, my air dried relaxed hair has been mistaken for natural.....at an all natural hair salon, lol. My ultimate hair length goal is WL, but it's more important to be to have shorter healthy hair then it is to have hair that's a certain length.

Welcome! That sounds like my hair. Even with a fresh relaxer, unless I flat iron (not even with blow drying) it is not bone straight.
