I ask because I am simply blown away by the progress in my Grandmother's hair in the last 18 months. (Pics to follow 
)
She has been a hairdresser, pressing and caring for hair for the last 68 years. She's gotten her hair pressed every other week for nearly that time. My Grand has always been ageless, beautiful and appearing exactly the same since I've known her. The same flawless skin, the same sharp style and the same earlength hair. She's told me for years that her hair just doesn't grow as it did when she was a child.
Well... In April of 2007 my Grand had surgery and could not get to the woman who did her presses. She did not feel up to giving her own presses, so I began braiding her hair whenever I visited. She would wear a wig for special occasions but, for the most part, she cared for, washed and conditioned her hair while in braids. Her hair is now APL!!!! And it's so beautiful and full! I had to take a pic while I was braiding it today. For your viewing pleasure
It's so exciting! But, in a way, it's just so sad. For years my Grand has been a victim of too frequent presses, her hair breaking just as fast as it grew.
My Grand is 84 years young.
But now its growing just beautifully. She's lightly pressed in this pic, too. Funny thing is, she had no idea her hair looked like this. When she saw this pic that I'd taken with my cell phone she commented that she would have that thought this was someone else!
