Whew!
Joined the forum back in 2006 and I've finally achieved my length goal! DH and I touched up my hair this weekend and it's official. See the growth chart pics in my siggy. The second to last pic shows my husband stretching the hair out to show it touching the bra strap. The last pic is the waves left over from my day old roller set - basically this is how it looks unstretched.
Now that my hair is touching my bra strap, I move on to my next goal. I want it to be full on the bottom like it is on top. I have trimmed my ends once since I joined the forum. From now on, I will be embarking on my own "trim it till it's even" challenge. Every time I touch up, I'll trim the ends (keeping it at BSL) and see if that helps to thicken it up on the bottom.
My regimen is very simple. I don't moisturize. I use coconut or jojoba oil whenever my hair is dry. I wash my hair once a week. If I'm busy or tired, I'll stretch it to two weeks. With these weekly washes, I'll shampoo, then leave conditioner on for the length of time it takes me to shower. I do a hard Aphogee protien treatment at 3 weeks and 7 weeks post relaxer. I relax (straight) every eight weeks. That's pretty much it.
I haven't really been spending a lot of time on the forum. I'm rarely on, but I wanted to say thanks to all you ladies. When I first started my hair care journey, I spent HOURS here and all of your wisdom, help, and support have helped me to reach my first goal.
HHG!
