So my first year has been somewhat uneventful, except for a major set-back after a Dominican Blowout.
After the mishap I have been doing frequent protein and moisture treatments, using Coconut oil (if you haven't tried it yet, you should jump on it).
I am happy with my progress considering I lost between 4-5 inches of length in some areas in the nape.
Well, you live and you learn and i learned not to let ANYBODY but me touch my hair.
I will be bunning til June 2010, which will make it a year since my set-back.
Thank you ladies for all the love and support.

Please disregard the A.M. face, I took today's picture right after rolling out of bed. I have lost a ton of pictures so I didin't find any from my OCTOBER 2008 BC, so the one I posted is from January 2009.
AFTER BC JANUARY 2009 TWIST-OUT:
9 MONTHS LATER OCTOBER 2009 TWIST-OUT:
HERE IS ANOTHER WITH MY HAIR IN A W&G, IT IS SOMEWHAT DAMAGED BUT I HAVE GOTTEN MY CURLS BACK.
My regimen is extremely simple. I recently started using Coconut oil so I have cut down on the Co-washing. I co-wash about once a week with Pantene conditioner, then i keep it in a bun all week applying the oil before going to bed. I use the conditioner to slick my hair back in the bun and i do weekly DC and protein treatments.
I wash my scalp maybe every 5-6 weeks with castile soap, never shampooing the hair.
And that's about it.
