I've been natural for one year!! (update)

*Singing* "Do you know what today is? It's my nappiversary...my nappiversary.."
Ha! Now that song is going to be stuck in your head

That's right, it was one year ago today that I finally chopped off my relaxed ends and was left with 4.5 inches of coily fun It really doesn't seem like it has been so long. I guess I've just been keeping busy on LHCF.

I celebrated by spending most of the day blowdrying and flatironing so I could take progress pics; Not much of a celebration, really...more like hot, tiresome work. But I needed to do a trim anyway (ended up being more of a dusting because my ends weren't as bad as I thought ), and I wanted to get an official inch measurement. From scalp to ends I'm juuuuust shy of 12 inches, which means I've managed to keep almost 7.5 inches since my BC

I made a special Anniversary Album in the gallery.

Yaaaaaaaay! I made it!

Thank-you, ladies!!
Yes, I'm still co-washing (nearly) daily. I skip a day here and there but I'm mostly pretty diligent.

Congratulations Black Cardinal!!!! Your hair looks great! And that's great how you retained 7.5 inches of hair since your BC! BRAVO!

 

[Dare~to~Dream]

Great progress! I always your updates!

 

[caligirl]

Wow! Your hair is really long. When was your last relaxer?
Oh, and I know all about those day long blowdrying/flatironing marathons. I have to prepare myself mentally for those days.

BlackCardinal your hair looks great! I've looked @ your pictures plenty of times and I'm still amazed @ your growth retention! Congrats on a year of natural hair growth and haircare!!

Congratulations. Your hair is beautiful.

My last relaxer was 2.5 years ago (I transitioned a year and a half before my big chop).
Thanks ladies!! My hair used to grow soooo slow, way less than the average rate, even while I was transitioning. I never would have thought about washing more frequently or even heard of any of my staple products if it weren't for LHCF!

Wow, in that case I might need to start washing my hair daily!
