Putting in my hair update. I flat ironed, but it continued to wave up due to the humidity. So, I tugged to show the length.

I'm glad it finally passed WL although it looks the same lol. Hopefully in Sept I will be hip so I can start thickening my hem line with 1 inch trims every 3 months.

ok, here is my poor excuse for an update. i was having some issues so my hair already started to shrink by the time i took the pic. also, i attempted to show where hl was on me by putting on a belt, but it kept moving around and then i realized, i'm not all that sure where hl is so then i just put a yellow line where my pants where at lmao then i attempted to guess where tlb was and then where classic... i think i've just hit a slump in my hhj where i'm just ignoring my hair or something lol i dunno what's wrong with me.

without flash. Can't really see good. It looks so fuzzy because I need more light bulbs in my bathroom. Yes I know trif :look:

This is when I stretch it. I wish my hair hung heavy :wallbash: so in order for my hair to look hip I probably would have to grow 2 inches past it.

with shirt off to show where pants sit on my tat.

this is just to show the natural color of my hair in sunlight. I have sandy fluffy hair:wallbash:

Well it's not much but it's trying to grow. I'm glad it finally passed WL although it looks the same lol. Hopefully in Sept I will be hip so I can start thickening my hem line with 1 inch trims every 3 months.

Sigh. Last night I used my indigo, and took a progress pic that showed NO progress. Still haven't decided what to do long term. Will post "progress" pic tonight.

But fa serious real....after all those progress shots i'm scared to see what my hair looks like compared to all dat!!!^^^^up dere!!:lachen:
 
what's scary is that the 3 preemies are all wl


that's not typical among black girls you know lol. we're breaking the mold yall

I am happy for all of you long haired ladies! :dance7: Congrats esp to Toy, what a milestone! :cup:

But I am sad for my hair. If I had a time machine there are lots of things I'd change, and on the short list of those things is that stupid idiotic idea last year to texlax! My texlaxed hair is about a tenth as healthy as the natural hair is. It's so thin and split and broken. It makes me sad every time I go to do my hair. :cry3: Really, I'm on the fence about BCing all the chemically altered hair clean off. Either that, or putting in some C&G braids so I can still pamper my hair but I won't have to look at and interact with that broken chewed up hair :cry3: Sigh. Putting in those braids is more than a notion, though, since I'm a bit past WL. Who has time for all that? Esp with 3 little kids and final exams coming up.

My ends are super damaged already, so I'm not going to flat iron for a length check. Maybe I'll just pull it straight for pics after I DC tomorrow. I feel really depressed and sad about my hair. It would be so beautiful if I hadn't messed it up. :wallbash:

I didn't know u had a texturizer wow
so For you it's not the best of both worlds?
 
It's too humid and hot outside for me to even think about trying to flat iron
so I'll do a wet strech pic once I get a free evening I'll straighten when the heat wave passes.
I hope Ive made some progress cause I haven't checked at all
maybe I can be a WL premie too :lol:
 
I have not forgotten about my update pic, I have a kazillion things going on. Hopefully I will post it 2mar.

Congratulations to all the beautiful haired ladies who have posted thus far, looks like the magic hair growth dust has done it's thing!
 
*sings* Hopefully by the end of this year Ill be full waistlength. For now ill just dream about achieving hip length.

You ladies have gorgeous hair! :gorgeous:
 
I was not going to update, because it is so hot and humid, but I got the flat ironing bug. I am glad, because it looks like my hair is filling in from my setback in my sig. Also, I feel a lot of starter hairs at my hips, and when I stretch, the longest layer hits my hips. :grin: I am getting there and I am happy. Sorry for the late update.

Thanx Candy:yep:....maybe its bc my meds have me drowsy right now or something...it just looks the same to me from last length check...but then again i have a thing for boiling pots......:laugh:
 
I'm just posting to check in. My longest locs are at TB, but most of it is floating around HL.

One thing I'm noticing is that my ends are getting very very dry and brittle. For the first time I have to bun. I've learned a few like chopstick buns, the log roll bun and the infinity bun. I think those will be my staples.

Here's some instructional vids

I cant find the one for a logroll... I watched it a few weeks ago... I've been bunning it with some conditioner on the last 4 inches. It's gotten real simple.

Alright... a future Classic!:grin: I noticed it in your sigi..:look: Another thing that might help your ends is protein... I have had to add that every time I condition. It seems like the longer your hair gets, the more the ends require attention because the natural oils don't get all the way down the strands of hair....

Thanks, I have a bottle of Infusium in my stash... let me go dig that out...
I've been using diluted ORS for my ends since it's so dry in AZ during the summer. Thanks for the tip.
