Ok ladies. I've been tracking my progress over the last 2.5 years and have come to the conclusion that I "would" have been at least MBL by now had I not opted to slowly cut/trim (not dust) my hair with every relaxer over that time period. My first LC picture is dated 3/2011 in which I was NL. In 2012, I lost so much length because I was constantly having my hair cut to even out my hemline due to a previously damaged nape which has since flourished. December 2012 was my last cut and I've since been lightly dusting ONLY on a regular basis to keep my ends nice and healthy. When I make my goal of BSL in December of this year, i'm going to celebrate big time because I know and understand that it's a huge accomplishment seeing that I started off at NL and regularly cut my hair over the first 2 years of my HHJ.

@Babygrowth, how did your wash/DC session turn out ?. I really like Detangling and pre-poo with oils and conditioners on dry hair before shampoo.

Girl... It was awesome! Spitzed my tea applied oil, then my DC and left it on all day and my hair was sooooo soft and happy. I will continue to do this at least 2x a week.

@xu93texas @Babygrowth ... This is my favorite way to treat my hair weekly. I'll even add a steamer to the session. My hair receives moisture better when I pre-poo on dry hair.

I really have to get a steamer but I really don't have the space for it... I needs this in my life!:look: I noticed that my hair receives moisture much better this way too! Especially after 4wks post...

I already told my husband I'm reserving space in the corner of our bedroom for my new steamer. It's going to go right next to my hood dryer. :)

I will be purchasing one next month before my next TU.

YAY!! Get your steaming on girl, you will never DC without it again...in fact, you'll think it's a sin, lol.
 
Steamers=LIFE!

If you guys don't have one you can try a D.I.Y steam treatment though. All you do is put a wet microfiber towel on your hair then add a plastic cap (or 2) on top. Sit under the dryer as usual and BAM! You just steamed without a steamer. I did this for almost a year before buying my first steamer and did it again for about 4 months when my old steamer broke....LOVE IT!

Babygrowth

Sucessful washdays are always great. Bad wash days stress me out lol.

Hi, I think we are buddies. I am just checking to see how you are doing. I am 8 week post and do not plan to relax until August 23rd. My hair is doing pretty good. I did a roller set today and it came out very nice. I think I will be doing one every weekend to help smooth my hair a little.

How are you doing?
 
Rozlewis and GrowAHead..Hey ladies how is it growing. I'm sitting under my hooded dryer right now deep conditioning. I will be air drying and doing a braidout until weds. Then back to my buns for the rest of the week. I'm at 19 weeks post. i can only wash my hair once a week and detangle twice a week this far in the game. My new growth is still manageable surprisingly. Rozlewis good job girly on the roller set. Sounds like it's working for you. Keep it up.

Yes, I'm doing this now as well. I'm using two plastic caps and a microfiber turban hair wrap I got from Target. I can do this for a few months and wait to get my steamer for Christmas. I want the one from Sam's online site. It's about $190.00.

It worked out well. I'm 10 weeks post and my hair is very soft and manageable. Thanks for mentioning it. :)

I'm glad the homemade steaming worked for you! I need to keep up with our stretch times...I didn't realize you were just 10 weeks in.

Hey buddies I have been rocking bantu knot outs and I love this hairstyle! It is my favorite protective hairstyle. Twistouts and Braidouts don't work for me but these little knots are awesome. I wish I could load a picture. I'm going to try to do that this weekend. I noticed that the summer is not really agreeing with my hair or that its really hot and I'm not doing what I am supposed to be doing to keep my hair from feeling dry... its hot and its making me lazy. But I need my hair to grow. I've also been using more heat than usual because my hair is at that crazy length where either you want to cut it or hide it and I want to wear it out! But starting today it will either be rollerset, bantu knots, or an emergency phony pony! Lol! How you ladies doing?
