Here we are ladies!

This thread is for us to show pics of our relaxed hair from this year.

And yes, it's a PICTURE thread!

You can post as many times as you want. The only rule is that the post has to have a relaxed hair pic from this year. We don't want one picture posted, then 5 pages of 'Your hair looks great!' posts! :lol:

I'm closing this thread on January 1st, so get in here!

Here's a random pic from October when I was about to go workout:

I'm relaxing this week so I'll post 1 year growth pics then.

Here are a few that were taken early to mid this year. I will post updated pics at the end of this month.

@Rozlewis Your hair in your avi looks gorg! :drool: Was that from a rollerset or something else? If a rollerset what products did you use, I totally need to steal them! :lol:

I returned my Dyson Airwrap, a total waste of time for me!

ETA: Oh my bad @sunnieb, :blush: here's another one then. (Yes I was wearing a scarf, in public - only for a few minutes lol)

@LushLox all is forgiven! You're just like me! I take random hair pics wherever I happen to be at the moment.

Traveling for work last May means hair pics in the hotel room of course! I was prepping my hair the night before a big meeting and was a little self conscious about how to style it. I took this pic to see how my hair looked from the back. I was checking for thin spots. :look:

@LushLox

Thanks!! I blow dried and flat ironed my hair, which I don't do too often. I only flat iron 3 times a year. The next time will be on December 29th for my husbands birthday dinner.

I received my Airwrap and I want to try it on my daughters natural hair to see how it works before I make a decision. If I had purchased the RevAir first I would not have bothered with the airwrap.
 
Ok, here are my year end/ growth pics.

This is from February. My beautiful BSL hair was long gone and I was trying to deal with it. Stress was too much out of control last year. My hair loss told the story. I was determined to grow my hair back.

Just relaxed on Friday, and I'm thrilled with my growth and retention. Looking forward to maximum retention in 2019! :)

Cannot stress enough how important it is to take hair pics in order to stay motivated! It's still a little bit of a shock for me to be dealing with short hair. I can't even make a decent ponytail! :(

However, I can clearly see progress in the pics below.

Damaged hair mess from February:

Moisturized mess:

Pics from this morning-

Before moisturizing:

After moisturizing:

Much better to start over growing out short, healthy hair than to hold on to a damaged mess! :yep:
 
@GettingKinky I didn't take care of myself for a long time. My husband is chronically ill and I was trying to get a promotion at work. I put my health on the back burner. My hair simply left my head.

It's been a year and I'm in full recovery mode now.

Here's my bang from last week. Looking fuller and more moisturized.... finally! :)

@LushLox where da pics at???? :look:

j/k - Maybe the spirit of the season took hold, because I'm a big 'ol softie now. I just wanted to see relaxed hair pics all in one place.

I'm still closing this thread on January 1st though! :lol:
 
Hi ladies, this is my first post!

I’m currently at about BSL and plan to grow my hair back to MBL by this time next year.

I relax every 4 months (12 weeks) using Phyto II and use henna once a month. Olaplex is also a staple as well as SheaMoisture’s Manuka Honey & Yogurt and 100% Virgin Coconut Oil masques.

I tried to upload a photo but am having trouble! Never done this before; the size of the photo may be too large.

ETA: I managed to make the photo I was going to post my avatar instead.
