Thank you everyone for your encouraging comments, this really gives me confidence to keep going!!
To answer Armyqt's question about my hair regime:
I really don't have a set hair regime. I just do whatever my hair tells me! I did start trying some regimes of other members of the forum and since my hair is different, it didn't react too well. Normally I just wash my hair about every 3 days and I deep condition every week at the least. If my hair is weak and dry, I deep condition with every wash with Organic Root Stimulant Mayo Conditioner. I use Smooth N Shines conditioning gel everyday to keep my hair moisturized and activator spray. Since I'm in the military I always wear my hair in protective styles. I air dry my hair in a ponytail and have recently tried the baggie technique. I add a little bit of vaseline to my ends after they are dry, then I add the baggie. I use Optimum Care's Stay Strong Shampoo and Conditioner, it's inexpensive and it works. I'm thinking about trying Garnier Fructise. My hair is relaxed. I use Motions No-lye relaxer. My hair is 4b and doesn't relax too well. But, I don't mind because it my hair has a lot of elasticity and curl when I let it air dry. Actually, since I've been using a lighter relaxer, my hair is much more healthier. It's funny because in High
School I would braid my hair up and it would grow, then I'd be so happy with the results that I would take them out and not deep condition or take care of it like I do now. In the end, my hair would fall out and then I'd start over again. Now that I've been educated, I know what I need to do to maintain my growth. No more of the wives tales and myths from my family. I know I'm just rambling on...sorry! The only thing I can say is that I listen to my hair and do whatever it tells me! Thanks you guys!!!

Thanks Corbins... Simplicity is key. And as long as you know what to give your hair, you will continue to progress nicely
