Yes I did retain growth in my weave. I'm not the do it myself hair person, but if I have a weave I do know how to take care of it and make the best of it and that's how I get the best grwoth.

P.S. (I can't wait for your length check :yep: :yep: :yep:)

Also my aunt likes to press my hair before she put it in a weave and this is what it looks like ( I did it fast while she was taking a bathroom break didn't wnat to have to explain that I take length check pictures lol :grin:)

Yeas I trimmed off 1/2 an inch. I do this twice a year. I'm going crazy this time around. I'm already having dreams about my hair being BSL...insane:lachen::lachen:

But one thing is for sure. Getting to BSL is happening MUCH quicker than my journey to APL. APL was a B****:spinning:

So far after my relaxer yesterday I have been just wearing braidout bun cause its too hot on Texas to wear your hair down... I am back on my M&S once a day at night....Imma DC on Wednesday with Amla and Brahmi using it in a paste....I will be back later to say how!
 
Hey Ladies! I've been trying to resize my update pics all morning but something isn't working out. My siggie is updated though and I also have pics in the HYH challenge reveal thread.

checking in, hiding my hair with half wigs. I am thinking about getting a sew in a few wks so I can keep my hands totally out of my hair. I dont know how long that will last though, i get tired of sew ins after 3-4wks.
 
Hello ladies, I know I'm super late but I would like to join you all. I made APL in May but I just did a major trim last night. Now, I'm right at APL. I'm hoping to be BSL by Dec. After that I want to stay there to even out then move on to WL. Wish me luck. I will be hiding my hair for the rest of the year.

Im getting ready to DC with 1tbsp of Amla and Brahmi, 2/3c of LeKair Cholesterol Plus and 1/3c of Salon Care Honey and Almond Conditioner, I also added 2 tbsp of EVOO/Safflower Oil.....I am thinking about adding a little of Aloe Vera Juice to the mix to help mix up the indian powders. Imma let it sit on for an 1hr, this is also the first time I will be using Amla and Brahmi that I can remember so wish me luck!
 
I want to straighten my hair today but I know it wouldn't be worth it with the heat. I'm just going to stretch it with flexi rods. (my first time).
 
My anti-climatic relaxer update.

My normal "tracking" bra was in the laundry but I think this one sits about the same place or possibly slightly lower. I relaxed today, flat ironed and trimmed (via the salon). I'm disappointed with the state of my hair. Its healthy, but I think the long term stretch (I was 7 months post) did more damage than good for the thickness of my length. I retained like crazy in my weaves and wigs....but meh...its just okay to me! Of course this is blow-dried flat-ironed hair right after a relaxer so it always appears straighter and flatter than I'd like...but I guess I was expecting to see much more dramatic results. Staring at all the beautiful heads of hair in here...just makes me feel so inadequate! :lol:
 
I co-washed this evening and now I'm doing a moisture overnight DC. I was going to steam but I decided to wait til my DC on Sat to do it.

Your bra looks really low. I think you are closer than you think.

Aww man. First I say check again w/ your usual tracking bra (gotta be sure about these things you know? lol). Then, look at where your hair was 7 months ago. I guarantee there is a result somewhere! Trust me, I know exactly how you feel and your relaxer update probably isn't as anti-climatic as you think :yep:
 
Finally got my hair in an actual style..lol I asked my friend to braid my hair to the side..then I twisted the hair that was left out and curled the twists on rollers.

Right now I'm trying to decide what to do with my hair. I want to do some 2 strand twists. I dunno..
 
Saturday is wash day so Imma wash with Crème of Nature Professional Detangling- Conditioning Shampoo, apply the Nexxus Emergencee, rinse out then DC with Giovanni Smooth as Silk Deeper Moisture Conditioner with some Coconut Oil. While still wet apply my LI's and do my braids for my braid out and keep it moving until Wednesday the nxt DC day!
 
I know I am sooo late, but I'll be doing my length check next month. I haven't done a length check since October, so I'm really excited to see my progress.

I don't know if I'm on track to reach BSL by December, but I do know that my hair is longer and healthier than it's ever been. :) I'm going to really stay on top of my sulfur applications for the next month to hopefully get another inch by August 15. (I'm also going to start exercising...I know that helps with growth.) Then I'll have my hair professionally pressed, and I'll post pics here. :yep:

I got my hair done yesterday, and my stylist is just in awe of how much thicker my hair has gotten. BKT and henna have really bulked up my baby-fine strands. :yep: She also says that my density has greatly increased, which means that my scalp is healthier than before. I wonder if the Nioxin Scalp renew treatment has anything to do with this? I wasn't sure if it was really working, but it sounds like it is.

Anyways, I'm pleased with my progress so far. I hope the length-check photos will reflect this.
