Hi Everyone /images/graemlins/wave.gif!!
I must first say that I missed all of you /images/graemlins/smile.gif. I've been away on vacation for the past two weeks, then I came back home only to arrive to computer issues! My laptop is out for repairs, so I'm using my Fiances right now. I just had to check in to say that I missed you (funny how addictive this site is).
Anyhoo, I have good news/bad news. The bad news is that I broke two challenges- the stretching out relaxer challenge and the no-heat challenge. The good news is that the reason I broke the relaxer challenge is because in just 7 weeks since my last touch-up, I had so much new growth that I couldn't go any longer w/o relaxing! I must have had 2 inches, which I know is unheard of. I took pictures- as soon as I get my computer back I will post them to my fotki site. I generally don't notice growth, but this time I can really see the difference. I broke the no-heat challenge because I wanted to straighten it to see the progress. No worries, it's back in the bun now!!!
I just wanted to encourage everyone to stick with their regimens. For me, it's the Surge (scalp only), WGO, no heat, bun challenge, and frequent washings that have helped. I've also noticed that with all that new growth, I washed almost every other day, but it was the only way I could comb thru it w/o excessive breakage. Also, my ends look great and I didn't need to trim. I'll wait until the next relaxer to do that- hopefully in December if I can make it.
I'll post pix soon!
Luv,
SG
P.S.
ONLY ONE MORE INCH BEFORE REACHING MY GOAL OF BRA STRAP LENGTH!!!!
