THANK YOU LADIES SO MUCH FOR YOUR KIND COMMENTS. THEY ARE greatly appreciated. They have encouraged me to continue doing what I know is best for my hair, even though sometimes people look at me like I'm crazy for not wanting to blowdry/use heat too much LOL.
I would be so happy if I was bsl by December. We'll see. I'm going to try to hold off getting my next relaxer until the first to third week in January (whenever I feel like giving up on my curly new growth LOL). I will post progress pics then.
