I got my weave installed today, so I won't be able to obsess over my hair as much,

Ugh how did I miss this thread? Please add me to the challenge.
~Current hair length
I'm a little past shoulder length.
~Relaxed/Natura/Texlaxed/Loc'd
I'm natural
~APL goal month
I want to be APL by June.
~Current Reggie and styling choices
I wash and DC with steam 1X a week. I wear twists about 4 times a week depending on my work schedule.
I also henna as needed.
~What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to APL?
I plan to trim more regularly and I also want to incorporate a little more heat to my regimen via blow dry and or flat ironing occassionally.
~Post a beginning picture
My December length check after a trim.
Excuse my bantu knots.

I'm calling BSL in 2012! It's about time I got really serious about my hair. No more setbacks, slacking or doing things that I just KNOW are not good for my hair! I could be MBL by now if I had acted right...so frustrating!

pookaloo83 No I mean 3 years because I stopped getting relaxers in March of 2009 and I BC'ed in April 2010. So that's almost 2 years all natural (no relaxed ends) but 3 years of natural hair growth.

I usually only go about 16 weeks between relaxers, but more recently I tried stretching for 24 weeks. It made my hhj a lot less stressful. Just leave it alone and let it grow for a while. I maintained my new growth by keeping myself in buns and using shampoo (pantene's relaxed and natural line) that I know both of my textures love. I think I may stretch for that long this time around. I just haven't decided yet....

I usually go about three months between touch ups. I enjoy stretching. I cowash and DC more often and wear my hair pulled back or in a braidout. Recently, despite self relaxing, I haven't felt like going to the salon. So I wear my half wig or a bun with ORS Smooth n Hold Pudding. I put my scarf on overnight and my hair stays down all day

Question for the ladies:
Naturals- How many months/years post BC are you?
... My last relaxer was in June 2008, I transitioned with individuals from October 2008 to August 2009. All of my relaxed hair was cut off in August 2009 ... I've been natural since! Wow Nikki, I didn't realize how long it has been since my last relaxer girlfriend- thanx for making me think.

Why did my 10 year old tell me I was cheating with the hair growing thing because I am going to be taking Nioxin,
