Debut -- Mzjones w/pics

[MJ]

Hi,

I'm finally posting my pics after lurking for more than a year. The pics were taken March 21, 2004; November 1, 2004; and January 17, 2005. Between Nov. and Jan. I trimmed my hair twice 1" - 1.5" each time, totalling 2"-3". I needed it and my hair was breaking like crazy despite daily moisture and washing once ea. week. And I'm not sure if you can see it but the Nov. pics had tons of broken hairs. The first trim (I did myself) was in Nov., which I regretted, and after that I increase my weekly washings to 2-3 times ea. (I only wash once ea. week with shampoo). I also wore braids, I did them myself, for 6 weeks. My hairdresser did the second trim when I got my touch up. I asked her to. I have to say that my hair definately prefer the extra washings (even though they can be a pain). This is the healthiest and prettiest my hair has ever been. But I have to admit that I'm sad to see that extra length go. I hope that in five months I'll regain and surpass what I lost.

Forgive the busted lip and old bra

Thanks Everyone!

Den1: I don't use heat at all except a hood bonnet whenever I do my treatments and rollersets. I don't really know how to style my hair so I usually just wear it in a bun, and in September I started to doing the baggy technique 24/7 (night-only whenever I have braids). I also wore braids or cornrows with extensions. During the nine months I wore braids/cornrows for a total of 24 weeks (6 months). But lately, washing frequently seems to help the health of my hair. I've also discovered coconut oil; a messy but great mixture made with molasses, egg yolks, jojoba oil, and aloe vera juice; ACV rinses; and in November I learned how to limit the number of times I comb my hair during washing to only once [right before I rollerset; this was a godsend]. Before, I used to comb/detangle with comb three times during washings and would get LOT of breakage.

Thanks again everyone and for all who say my message a few weeks back that I would stay away from LHCF until February -- I couldn't do it.

whoa.. what a stunning debut!!!!! your hair is growing in so lovely and thick....!!!!!

Thanks for providing information on your regime, its solid and very simular to the methods I imploy for hair growth and thickness. I also wear the baggie, combine my own treatments and follow a modified vwesion of the crown and glory method. Your method appears to be working very well, good luck with your goals!!!

Thanks Everyone!
