"Now as for me... I shared my before/after pic with the hubs and told him that I was disappointed that there wasn't more growth. He said, "You SHOULD be... now where's a "Straightening Challenge?" Grrrrrrrrrrrr, that's why I don't tell him stuff about my hair!!!"Great pics fellow challengers! Everyone's hair looks awesome - healthy, thick, and longer (bonus). Congrats to all of you who hung in there 'til the end.

Anyway, this challenge was my first challenge and I'm proud that I didn't quit. Surprisingly, it was really easy for me... except when I burned myself out on the bun.Thanks Twana for starting the challenge and encouraging me along the way! Here's my pic...
Okay, why is my mother just like your hubby???!!!
WHAT IS THAT??? Prior to the reveal, I haven't worn my hair straight since July, and you better believe I've been catching it from her since
I can't walk past her without her feeling the need to tell me that I needed to wear my hair straight...."Straightening Challenge"
But on another note, you had a good bit of growth and your hair looks beautiful in all its natural glory.

Ms Coco,
You are SO right! Your mom DOES sound like my husband! See, I was going to straighten my hair this month but after his comment, I decided to join a Bun Challenge instead.
LOL!!! Now YOU sound like ME! I'll wear my hair curly or in a bun just because I know it drives her crazy...and of course there are the growth benefits. The way I see it, it's a win win!;-)

I just took my hair out of twists when I took my pics. The following are my results:
Sorry, the pics aren't lined up perfectly here since the first pic was taken closer.
I forgot to take a starting pic for the sides but I'll show this anyway since I took the pic.
Thanks

Ok, I'm finally posting my results. The first pic is one that was actually taken in about Febuary when I got my last relaxer but it was the most recent pic that I could find at the time. The second pic was one that I was able to dig up that was closer to May a while after I had gotten my "V" cut and I was about to wash it. The last pic is one that I took about last week, after flat ironing. (It looks a little funny because I had my arm up to take the pic, my hair really isn't that uneven lol) I think that I would have retained more length if I was stricter with my self with hiding my hair because honestly I slacked off a couple days, but overall I'm pretty pleased with my results from my first challenge.

I'm finally posting my reveal pictures!
The first one is from May 30th, and I just took the second one this morning. I'm really surprised by my results - I thought my hair grew really slow but it turns out I just wasn't retaining length. Go figure! I don't know if I'll do another HYH challenge, but after seeing this I may consider it.
