OMG Diva!!!!!!
You are an amazing inspiration
! I love to hear and see these stories. Thanks for proving that with diligence and patience, our hair can grow to exceptional lengths.
I'm also part of the brastrap challenge and you have inspired me to continue to be vigilant.
You GROW girl!

Thanks for the encouragement, SouthernGirl! The more I think about it, brastrap length wouldn't be considered exceptional for us if we knew how to take care of our hair to maintain the growth. I would think that we would be able to obtain this length in the very least and think that our hair was short when we saw others with hair that was even longer....
Nonetheless, steady we go. No rush, as the hair is growing anyway. You and I are doing the same Brastrap by 2005 challenge, so we can continue to push each other along.

Yes, you remembered correctly. I'm in Rio on a one month work assignment.
The kids,(as I call my horses), are being taken care of by my SO. That's why I only date Cowboys, so when I'm out of town, I have someone to take care of the kids. Otherwise my Dad or Brothers will have to fill in for me.
Don't forget, We're all waiting on those back shot pictures. Post soon.

Thanks, Tene! This feels good to hear, especially as I'm experiencing some depressing postpartum shedding.

The shedding isn't affecting the length, but instead the thickness!
It brings tears to my eyes to see it fall out like that... shoot... even my privates are on the bare side...TMI, I know!!! Thank God I'm married!!!

Hey, Girl! Just as long as you know how to take care of them, not a problem. Give yourself a break from time to time, you don't have to live in them. I've only had braids 4 times from March 2003 until now. I was tired of seeing my hair falling out due to the shedding, hence the embarkment of a braid-a-thon...
Totally OT, Modelchicks and makeup artists go hand in hand ya know!!!

Re: Discouraged 4a/4bs... this thread\'s for you!!!
I'm tempted to join u in this braid-a thon but I have been in braids since March and I need to touch this stuff up before I continue on. I can't wait to see my progress when I do get a touch up.
And you are right, Better UN-Braid spray is DA BOMB!
Thanks for the inspiring post!

Ok, I'm supposed to be losing out some more braids, but couldn't resist. Why touch up if you're going to put the braids back in? Your natural hair is stronger than the relaxed hair when anchoring braids. I usually wait until I have about 1 inch of new growth, around the 2 month post relaxer mark. Hence, with the braid-a-thon, it doesn't make sense for me to relax as I'm going to put it in braids 2 weeks after removal. The two week time is for me to deep condition and do a protein treatment. I'm glad you're inspired girl. Let's do this... OK, back to my braid removal!!!

WOW!!I'm impressed thankyou for posting those pictures i was also one of those who were feeling rather depressed and discouraged, about my length, now i'm am happy and at peace because you've proved that type 4 can grow hair, even after mishaps.

Den, I don't even think I had to prove that to you... you of all people who was featured on Robin's site. Your hair grew quite a bit. Don't worry,

Big up all 4a/4bs looking to go for longer, healthier hair!! POW! POW! POW!!! BuYaka!! Ok, I better get out of the dancehall!
Now, what we've all been waiting for.... drumroll puh-lease!!!
Unstretched!!! and Stretched!!! Hmm... I think I have a good inch to go and by time you factor in future trims, I'd give myself an extra 2-3 inches. By next year this time, I should be more than past this goal! What say you???

OK... do your thang, Girl! If you ever get tired of the braids, you can always take a break. I've only had braids 4 time from March to present, so it's not mandatory to get good growth. In between the braids do protective styles...

Re: Discouraged 4a/4bs... this thread\'s for you!!!
wow diva, that is truly inspirational!
do u think the braids help with the shedding since u arent handling your hair? Another good option when and if u get tired of braids or in between braids is a phony pony! And we already know u are the wig queen so thats another option too!
what has your regimen been while in braids and how long do u leave them in?
