My hair has never felt more healthy. It has gotten longer so my WnGs arent as voluminous as the hair gets heavier, until about day 3. This was taken 3 weeks ago.

I posted my pictures earlier this month I believe, but I wanted to post a picture of my crown

In late 2010 it began breaking and by early 2011, it was in shreads. This was from 2013:

Same area.

My crown now is about bottom BSL. As much as I miss my relaxed hair, my crown is the number 1 reason I will not go back to relaxers.

Gorgeous! Hair!

What is it with crowns and relaxers? I had a broken off bald spot in crown when relaxed.

IKR. My crown is extremely dense and the strands there are the thickest. My guess is I put it through more manipulation and processing to get it straight, versus other sections. I know people that did the same thing.

Yea that is exactly what happens. Mine used to do that all the time. It was also my most sensitive area on the scalp. But now I purposely take my time and am extra gentle. If there's a tangle that I just cannot get out in that area without tugging I just ignore it until the next detangle session. I don't even bother.

I don’t know if your W or W’hip, but I do know that your hair is goals!!

Congratulations on your retention. The care you put into your hair definitely shows. I can only hope to reach such a milestone in my hair journey.
 
We had 3 good weather days this week, so I was able to take the kiddos walking to the lake and to the playground. It felt so good to get some fresh air and enjoy the sunshine. I'm looking forward to spring weather so we can do more walking.

My postpartum shedding has ran its course. Edges growing back in full force so my high buns are back. I missed them! I may wear buns the entire Spring.. then my 2 signature braids in the Summer. Baby boy is extremely fascinated with my hair. He loves to pull it and try to put it in his mouth. :look:His lil butt is quick too...and forceful. :eek: He can snatch like nobody's business. So at least buns and braids will keep my hair out of snatching territory. :lachen:
 
I really feel like with my new regimen I will make BSL pretty fast (relatively speaking). It used to feel far off but now it doesn't. I haven't done an official length check in a while but just pulling my hair for informal length checks I can tell the difference, plus how my braid outs hang etc.
 
The last part of wash day didnt turn out as expected :rolleyes: After an amazing dc session I just threw my hair in a bun for like 3 days.

So I will cowash (haven't done this in a long time!) And follow through with moisturizing routine.
 
Straightened and trimmed over the weekend. Cut about 1-1.5 inches. Not sure if I'm grazing TBL now or full TBL.

One thing that I love about my hair now is that you can see that it's past HL without me having to stretch it. When I hit other milestones, I would be "technically" WL, but if I wore my hair straight it didn't look WL. Now there's no question. I think I would be happy maintaining at this length.

Bump....
How's it going, ladies? Any milestones reached? What y'all doing with your hair? I've been trying to straighten my hair for the past couple days, just haven't made it past the dc step :look: hopefully tomorrow. I really need to trim my ends.

Same here - I keep saying I'm going to straighten but somehow end up in flat twists smh.

When I'm in the shower and my hair is soaking wet, I can reach behind my back and touch my hair easily with my hand. Never had that happen before. :yay:
