6 months after BC and first pin curl!! Lots of pics

[mccray689]

Its been 6 months since I bc'd after transitioning for 7 1/2 months. Im about 1.5'' from apl ( i think ) I've mostly just been wearing my hair in a puff or in micros. But this year Im going to really get on my hair growth journey!

This is the length of my hair from 6 months ago ( heat damaged, color damage, so don't make fun of my tiger streaks lol) :





This is the length of my hair, ( this is from last month, accidently deleted my recent flat iron pics ) :


My Puff(also last month ):

Thank you and I just use Africas Best Herbal Oil and an anti frizz serum when I do my pin curls. Here is a video on how to do them : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9AxFcydOeo
I use bobby pins to hold them in place and do about 12-16 pin curls.

They look gorgeous! I'm going to try and pin curl tonight, I used to do them all the time when I was relaxed but I haven't tried it natural, hopefully I don't come out looking a HAM!

Regimen:
I wash my hair once a week normally on sunday.

- Cowash with Organix or Suave Humectant Conditioner
- Deep Condition for 1 hour under the dryer ( normally with henna or protein mix )
- Detangle with with Shea Butter and let it dry in twist to 95% then blow dry and style for whatever I'm wearing for the week.
I take a multi vitamin and thats about it. Its very simple. Once a month I will clarify with Dr. Bronners lavender castille soap.
