I GOT MY HAIR CORNROWED + A BIT OF AN UPDATE

[Mandy4610]

It is exactly 3 months post my nappiversary I am not seeing much growth(seems fuller rather than longer) but I got my hair cornrowed today so I wanted to share some pics.

A bit of a comparison: 3 months growth (not)

Misc:

Your hair is so prettiful.

I see growth in the first comparison shot and I see more bulk which is great. Don't be discouraged, your hair is looking good!

How long are you going to keep the cornrows?

I like the cornrows.

Thanks msa. I hoping to keep them for 3-4 weeks, I hope they last that long.

ITA with MSA.

I don't know where you're looking but I see growth and fullness! Loving the cornrows and the sheen.

Thanks. I thought it looked fuller rather than longer

Your hair looks thicker, shinier, and healthier. Don't forget, some of our hair grows "out" before it grows longer. You may not see it because you see it everyday. It looks beautiful.

And the cornrows look cute too.

I see growth and thickness

Your hair looks nice.

I also see thickness and growth. I think as naturals we sometimes forget that unless our hair is straight, it can be difficult to detect growth. Unless you comb and see breakage, then the hair has to be longer, KWIM? I say the same thing with my plaits, until I realize that my hair isn't straight, so I cannot get a true vision of how much my hair has grown.

BTW, your cornrows look really pretty. Had me about to take my plaits out and get my hair braided up but I'm tryin to commit to this regimen, so I'll just have to drool over yours.

Very pretty, Mandy!

Hey hey hey Mandy!! Hair is beautiful as ever - LOVE the braids!!! and styles.

Your hair grew so fast over the past year so now it just thickening up. This happened to me too and I was annoyed because I wasn't seeing the growth. What was happening was that it was getting thicker and bigger. Wasn't excited about that too as I wanted length but hey, it is what it is. You have some really soft mane on your head girlie.

Sometimes hair grows out before it grows down. And your cornrows look very nice.

 

[tiffers]

Ooooh, those cornrows are beautiful!!!! Your hair is so thick! You're getting tons of thickness! Lemme borrow some

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

I like the cornrows. I think your hair is a lot fuller in your comparison. You are definitely making progress.

 

[melodies815]

Co-signing on both growth and thickness. In the first pic, you had a zig-zag shape at the bottom, but it's filled in now. You can't get filled-in gaps/thinned-out areas without growth.

The difference is easy to see. Congratulations on your growth and your thickness!!

Hey mystic, thanks for the compliment. How have you been?

Awww thanks tiffers! Believe me this hair is not as thick as it appears.

Thanks for breaking it down. Makes sense!

 

[infojunkie]

Ooh, really pretty, I want some now too.



(I have soooo got to learn how to cornrow!!!)

 

[anon123]

Those cornrows are gorgeous!

Are you blow drying frequently?

 

[Desiree4]

Love the thickness! Pretty cornrows

 

[mrsjohnson75]

Keep doing what you are doing.....your hair looks great and I do see progress!

 

[Mandy4610]

I blowdry occasionally (when I am being lazy), but for the most part I rollerset.

 

[RadiantBeauty]

Your hair is very pretty! I really like the design of your cornrows!

 

[mstar]

Beautiful cornrows! And I can see a definite difference in your hair--it looks fuller AND longer. (the very bottom layer might not have grown that much, but the upper layers are way longer).

 

[CurliDiva]

I love your cornrows!

Now protect those ends and I'm sure you will see great growth when you remove them!

Good luck,
Curli D

Your hair looks beautiful!! I would have gotten impatient after 1/2 of the second cornrow. Your hair shows tremendous growth and thickness!

Thanks, I think you are right. I was thinking the same thing.

Thanks. Any ideas how I can protect the ends

Thanks. That took about 5.5 hours It could have taken less time had the lady not had kids that needed something every 10 minutes! I like what she did though and it cost $50 which is not bad around here.

 

[heyfranz]

I think you got a lot of growth for 3 months. Look nice and healthy

 

[Mandy4610]

Thanks everyone.

 

[DDTexlaxed]

WOW, Mandy, your progress is AWESOME! I am so jealous of your cornrows! Your hair has grown so much since your BC!

 

[Mystic]

I've been doing great. Thanks for asking.................

Hey mystic, thanks for the compliment. How have you been?

Awww thanks tiffers! Believe me this hair is not as thick as it appears.
