Nappy and Happy
As my siggy says, I have had quite a few setbacks along my hair journey 
The latest one was in early 2009 when my hair was all but destroyed by incompetent hair braiders. Beforehand, my hair was texlaxed and about 2 inches from APL.
When I took the braids down in that summer and cut out all the damage and breakage, I was left with hair a little longer than nape length.
My hair was so choppy and uneven that decided to go back to braids to grow out my hair (this time using someone who knew what she was doing). I kept my hair in braids for seven months and just took them down last week.
My hair is now 60% natural and 40% texlaxed. I BKT'd so that my new growth could blend better with my texlaxed hair and then trimmed about half an inch off my ends.
Here are my results:
My hair isn't quite as long as it was before my setback, but it has thickened out considerably.
Here's a comparison pic:
I've decided to transition now to natural--no more relaxers or texlaxers. I will continue using BKT, though to help make my 4a/b curls and waves more manageable.
