Her hair is gorgeous!

Pretty hair!

I'm pretty sure I came across her vids a long time ago and she had some with her mum. You guys are too cute!
 
I love Stella's hair too! Girl i'm following your blog as well!!!

I always see her siggy pics and i thought she was still natural!....but beautiful hair and person regardless.:yep:
 
Wow (@stelladata), your progress is amazing. How many months post relaxer were you when you BC'd? Your hair grew so fast!

I BC'd at least 5-6 months post relaxer, but I cut twice the first time the shape came out so weird because I insisted that the barber used scissors because I read somewhere on these forums that you shouldn't let them use clippers :look: ... the shape was horrendous so, I went to another salon, the guy used clippers and my hair had to be at least an inch long on the sides and two inches up top.
 
Stella, I thought it interesting that you only relax once a year. I also saw that you flat iron twice a month. Do you consider yourself to be someone who heat trains? I ask because your hair is so thick and long and I thought you must get tangles. Also I read that you relax so that your hair can grow longe. Is it because it tangles?

Morphing...slowly... into a stalker.

lmao at that last line, girl i got mase!! :lachen::lachen:

I don't remember saying i relax my hair so it can grow long :blush: if I ever did that's misinformation!!! and i apologize!! what i probably meant is ;I prefer it relaxed because you can see the length since when natural I had major shrinkage, at least 5 inches ( something like that). But there is no way relaxing can make anyone's hair grow long especially since I read somewhere here that it strips your hair of proteins and other essentials.


I am not sure what heat training means, but I found it logical to straighten twice a month ( If I am not lazy.. I can go a whole month with a bun) because then I deep condition 4 times a month, based on the idea that if there are 4 weeks in a month then I can keep my hair straight every other week and condition every weekend ... I am not sure if that makes sense, i hope it does..:spinning:


When I'm getting new growth my hair tangles, esp at the 4-5 month mark, which is why I dc and detangle with every wash with my trusted denman brush-or wide tooth comb. I think anyone who has curly hair experiences tangles at some point, it's something I cannot escape from so I just tackle it accordingly. Relaxing hair doesnt get rid of tangles and I hope nobody would ever use it as a detangling agent.. I might actually shed a tear.
 
Thanks for sharing CelinaStarr.
StellaData, your hair is gorg. I agree with being able to see length better when relaxed. My curl pattern is similar and it shrinks so much I feel like I have short hair. When I straighten, people are always shocked at how much length I have. I haven't straightened since Christmastime and saw some progress. I'd love to straighten more often but I'm scared of the heat. That said, I hope to be extra shocked at my next length check and you are my inspiration!

Yea, I definitely agree, we are close to the same hair type! And I can relate to hair shrinkage, I used direct heat ( with a flat iron) at least once or twice and that was after months of not using heat...(while natural)... and yes I was petrified of heat, cones, petroleum jelly, bristle brushes, people touching or ruining my curls... to say I treated my hair like spirals dipped in liquid gold is an understatement! LMAO!!
But honestly, I think the longer your hair gets the more the curls get weighed down and I am sure at some point you'll see some satisfactory length!.. beautiful hair btw :)
 
:blush: Thanks everyone!!!!
I subscribed this year but before that I browsed forums a lot, that was mostly around the time I was trying to grow my hair out after my bc..I tried a lot of things!!..and a lot of the advice, I've gotten on these forums are priceless and have helped me along the way. I think if I'd never come across them I wouldn't have a clue about what to do with my hair. So thank you to you all, and keep the great advice coming!! >.<

thanks celinastarr i'm honored:spinning:
You have gorgeous hair!

That is truly inspiring.
 
EXACTLY!! In 2 years her hair was beyond BSL:yawn:. Some girls have all the luck, truly.

Stella, your hair is breathtakingly beautiful. Also, I like your vibes on youtube.

Wow I just watched the video on her blog. I can't believe she BC'd in January 2007 and 3 years later her hair is hitting her butt. INSANE!! Her hair is beautiful straight or curly.
