Soooooo....I am touching hip length like 8 month ahead of schedule but I am going to stick to my Dec. 2011 date because I plan to do a major trim in a week.
I'll post pics in the morning. I'm sooo tried right now. Hair relaxing and such is exhausting.
So I decided to update my siggy pic. I was suppose to wait until the first but oh well it's almost that day anyway. And I just went on ahead while my hair was freshly done. Funny how my hair is no longer blunt like it was just 2 months ago. This is how my hair grows so I will just leave it alone. As you can see I have like a sprig of lead hairs touching my bottoms. I should be hl by June. I'm adding a bigger picture here.
Major detangling session in the shower last night. It was a vicious battle but, I made it out alive and with a few strands of hair left on my head. I think that light texlaxing texlaxed nada. My hair was tangling in clumps so, as much as I wanted to avoid it, I had to face it head on. Ah but at least after all was said and done, my hair hangs longer. It was really bunching up at the roots. I have it stretched in 4 Celie braids now, and feeling suh'n like a conqueror. Whew. I'll see what it all looks like later today. Hoping I havent' gone from a ponytail to a rat tail overnight.
Check in, ladies. What's going on in your hairworld?
I have a bunch of split ends and I don't know why. I have been doing a constant search and destroy mission but I keep finding more and I don't want it to go farther up my hair shaft. 
Soooooo... I'm feeling pretty good about my hair today. I was really concerned about my hair after that detangling session. Lots of hair was in the drain but that was the first real detangling session since my texlax. I've been finger detangling so, maybe it wasn't as bad as it seemed. In any case, even after detangling, I still had hairs coming out whenever I handled my hair. So I figured, it's been awhile since I've really oiled my hair with EVCO. I thought it might help slick my cuticles down and prevent more tangling. So, last night, I trimmed a bit and then oiled my hair with the intention of the EVCO being a pre-poo for today and braided in 4 braids. I took the braids down and combed thru this morning and was like "Wooooooow! I LOVE my hair!" It's so long and beautiful. But still, hair was coming out. I checked the hair and found that the hair that's coming out are sheds. Ohhhhhhhhhhh! Sheds are a horse of another color. I'm fine with sheds because for me, it seems increased sheds come along with a growth spurt. So, I feel soooo much better. This is the time of year that I get my best growth spurts. My nails are growing like crazy too.
I so understand. I just went thru the exact same thing from January thru, heck I'm still going thru with helping my dad now. But, like you, I finally said that I can't let things overtake me and neglect myself. Things do get back to normal once you start allowing it.
Good morning, ladies. Sho is quiet in here.
So, my panic is over. My hair looks great and feels so long to me. Oh, I know not LHCF-long but, dang! My hair is long and feels like it has grown overnight. I can't wait to see what I have by my birthday in June. I'm SO looking forward to it. I can see that it has grown since my last progress pic.
May God give you & your family strength at this time,To remain strong & hold on.God Bless! 
Where are your pics...or did I miss something?
I straighten it and it looks a hot mess. I leave it curly and it looks a big ol' frizzy mess. I can't win!!!!
