Is it sad that I want to book my next hair appointment already to have it straighten again??
That's how I felt after my last flat iron. I was contemplating going in every 2 weeks so I could have that smooth, sleek look. A few weeks after I washed it, the feeling passed. I'm pretty sure my hair wouldn't like that much heat.

Under the dryer. I don't know why I decide to do these things so late in the evening. Anyway, I prepoo'd w/ Vatika Frosting and put my oil mix on my scalp. Cowashed with SSI Blueberry cowash condish, Dc'ed with my green tea I brewed and put DB Pumpkin Seed Condish on top (hair was so soft!).
Then I did a roller set (took forever to roll). I used SSI Moisture Mist leave in, SSI Coco Creme Leave in and Keracare setting lotion. I'm still under this dryer smh. Hopefully I will be completely dry in 20 more mins. I plan to pin curl and take my butt to bed.

Currently at APL after a 2.5'' cut
I can see my hair getting to full BSL before this year ends. I need to start getting 1'' per month but i only really need about 4.5'' to full BSL.

I measured from the base of my neck to my tailbone and it's 22 inches. Based on that I have 2 inches to go to MBL. Given my growth rate I won't get there until beginning of Nov. and that's only if I stop trimming off my bonelaxed ends. I don't think I'm making MBL this year. Oh well.

Hi ladies! I hope the year's been wonderful for you!!!
Haven't checked-in in months! Busy life and all that jazz. But I've recently come out of mini twists for the first time and I must say, I love them! They are really easy to manage wear for long periods of time, and undo. My hair needed a rest from manipulation and I've been pretty lazy with styling this year, but I did buy some curlformers back in March and they work sooo well on my hair! Stretches really well w/o heat.
I'm going to deep condition early tomorrow morning and set my hair in curlformers. I loved them so much that I bought a second pack (the doop version though bc I wasn't going to pay another $80...that was already crazy of me). So I've got 80 now, I think smaller sections will produce a more defined result.
I don't have photos. I will take some soon. I have been so MIA with my hair, but I think it's a good thing. Ever since I got my hair cut back in 2012, I have been obsessing about it growing back out. I'm not sure what length it is currently. I kind of want to graze into WL w/o realizing.
The curlformers stretch my hair, but not nearly enough to see it's true length (makes a for a nice-sized bun). I haven't stretched it in months and currently it is too dry to tell. It's in good shape, though it doesn't hurt to pamper it more frequently.
Probably going back into twists next week for another 4-5 weeks. I think I will reach WL next year. MBL this year if I'm not already there. We'll see.
I hope everyone is well!! Your tresses are as beautiful as always!

Hey!! It has been a couple of minutes since I've been conversin'. Life takes over sometimes, but I've been lurking 
off and on seeing how you ladies have been doing on your HJ. I see some really pretty heads of hair!
@ ImanAdero...You look like your at WL already! Are you claiming it?
@ NikkiQ... Love the color and curls!!!
@ jprayze... I don't know how I came across it, but be that as it may I came across your threads for miconazole nitrate (I know I'm trying this train late), but I decided to give it a try after some research and your threads, they encouraged me. Hopefully, if this works for me I'll be to closer to WL by Dec. 2014. By the way your hair looks nice and full in the 2nd pic!
@ GettingKinky... Your hair looks so pretty, silky and full! :droolings
@ ImanAdero... we have the same style in mind
, I just finish making a wig that has almost the same style (mines a little shorter, less curl, straighter bang and of course blue), but I won't be wearing it till August as I have the urge to do twists in about a week.
@ growbaby.... your pretty hair is already at WL ?! :droolings. I would love my hair to be like this sometimes when it's wet, but i chose color over texture. Beautiful hair!
Well here is my update for June 2014. I cute a 1/2" since last update.

I'm not at WL yet. I had claimed MBL, but got a trim before going under the sew in... So it's probably at BSB again.
Plus my waist shifts depending on if I gain or lose weight. Right now I'm heavier than I like so my waist is a little umm... Higher... Than usual lol.
Hopefully by the middle of next year I can claim WL though.

ImanAdero....I hear you about chasing "it". That's why I have to cover mine or put it up in a style where I won't look or touch it. At times I find myself obsessing over my hair (is it growin ..Monday, is it growin...Tuesday, is it growin...Wednesday, sad I know). It's like a kid with a new toy that never had a knew toy, Lol! I tell you though if this challenge I'm doing (miconazole nitrate for 1-2 months) doesn't prove hair profitable, I will keep my regimen from then on simple...exercise, vitamins and sleep.

I'm thinking of going into twists (with extensions) for a month, just because I seem to be hair lazy these days. Going to wait til after the 6/30 length check though. Maybe 4th of July weekend.

Hi ladies. Been lurking, not posting much. I'm still taking these Manetabolism vitamins. Been getting a good .5" in growth for the past two months. That's good for me as a slow grower. I hope to be MBL by September at this rate.
ImanAdero I feel you about chasing WL. My original goal was MBL anyway, so if I can get there, I'll honestly be fine. After MBL, I will probably stop checking.
Lilmama1011 Welcome! Congrats on reaching your goal of APL. When will your next relaxer be?
