I See Progress! (Pics)

[Extremus]

I didn't realize how much progress I made until I took a look back at my starting picture (Aug 2007) and compared it to my recent photo (Jan 2008)

This is 4.5 months of progress! Sorry, but I've very proud of my achievement I can be right?





ETA: I did comb my hair on the right pic, it still was drippin wet, but I think the combing made it look a lil thicker...it tends to do that sometime

DAAAANG!!!! That's alot of growth

 

[Extremus]

DAAAANG!!!! That's alot of growth

Is it? ..........I didn't think it was that much for 4 months

 

[anherica]

You certainly can be proud! That looks like alot of progress to me. Good job!

 

[jazzysweet]

Wow... It looks soo much thicker too. Congratulations!

What is your regimen?

Girl i'd be touching the roof if i got so much progress in 4.5mths. AWSOME JOB. U should treat yourself.CONGRATS

 

[Extremus]

Wow... It looks soo much thicker too. Congratulations!

What is your regimen?

I don't have one ....I just listen to my hair (seriously )

ETA: I think the main thing was going from daily heat usage to using heat 2x a month AND not doing anything to my hair but moisturizing it. Some weeks I would do absolutely no styling or combing (LAZY as all hell) erplexed

Man, I'm always switching, but I tend to always go back to:

Elasta QP Mango butter
WGO (ends)
Suave Professionals Color Care (cheap conditioner, but I really like it)
EVOO
Castor Oil

Not a bun, maybe a ponytail, and that's when I'm air-drying my hair or I'm over 8 weeks post relaxer. I'll have it in a ponytail for about a week or longer until I wash it. Then I'll straighten it, leave it down for 2 weeks w/ little to no combing (mostly finger-combing) then wash. I barely style my hair. My SO hates it, but it works for me

Your progress is remarkable I think your minimalist regimen is great. I think your on the right track, because that amount of growth is outstanding NOW since you gave me some advice let me give you just a little.
GROW YOUR HAIR BUT KEEP YOUR MAN GIRL
Buy a Fall or a UDU clip and keep yourself looking Right. Not just on wash or flat iron days.Trust Me

You won't be sorry.:Flahsssss

I know, I know . When he first met me, my hair was always DONE and he loved that. Now when he asks, why I don't style it no more, I tell him, "I'm trying to grow my hair out, remember? I can't retain length if I keep styling it daily" (or maybe that's just my excuse, b/c I'm really just lazy ) I found bantu knots to be a very cute, quick, & simple hairstyle! If only I can find more hairstyles like that I'll be all good.

Girl I know I heard the same thing and gave in too soon and growth has been slow but now I think I got a good balance. Here's to you For being where I want to be and finding a sexy balance.
