I don't know who bumped it, but it's a great way to put things in perspective.....cause we all will be at or have been at a place when we want to give up and Army is a good example of WHY WE SHOULD KEEP GOING!

I like this thread! It's very inspiring, especially what one of the posters said about hair growing possibly being like weight loss, where you accelerate then reach a plateau, then accelerate again. That encourages me so much. 
ArmyQT I was so scared when I first hovered and saw the contents!
How is your hair now compared to when you started this thread?

This happens a lot....I see a thread and start reading it, then I notice all these names that don't look familiar to me, and that's when I realize that it's an old thread!
Armyqt, did you ever figure out why you didn't see any difference in length when you had that relaxer? I looked at your Fotki, but couldn't find the comparison pics.
ETA- Nevermind, I found them!
I can see that you definitely had some growth in those pics. I'm glad you didn't give up!

Yeah I had a few "jump of the bridge" moments during my haircare journey. Once I finally hit brastrap, I just stopped worrying about my hair. That was in January. I think I've transitioned a whole head of hair since I started on this journey. My entire head (except the last 4 inches) is underprocessed/texlaxed. I'm not feeling that right now. THe next time I relax I"m going to do it straigher. My last stretch was 8 months and after I relaxed I basically noticed no change in length. Why? Probably because of trims AND the fact the I'm just loosening the curl pattern.
I'm siked and back in the hair game again. I wanna reach waist length next year. I'm 4 months post right now and plan on going another 2 @ least. Why? Because I can and get no type of breakage at all from doing this. I attribute this my hair not being fully relaxed. Thus the texture not being very different from my real texture.

I agree, it's so hard to see our own progress.
I'm going to do a roller set this weekend and take pictures, front side and back. Then once a month around the 20th I'll take pictures with it styled the same way. That way I'll be able to make direct comparisons. It sounds like you were doing a great hair care job! Perhaps you can continue and try to let go of the outcome for a while. It's like that when I want to loose weight. I work out, I eat right but I feel like it takes so long to get the scale to move. When I am just enjoying the process of working out and being fit, the next thing I know, I'm fitting my skinny pants!
I have to remind myself to enjoy this hair care process, trying new products, shampoos, conditioners, chatting with you wonderful ladies and then one day I'll look up and "poof" I'll have hair !!!
Come-on we need you here
