Wow (@stelladata), your progress is amazing. How many months post relaxer were you when you BC'd? Your hair grew so fast!
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.
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!
You have gorgeous hair!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
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 ... 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.
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.
