Hi guys! I rarely post but it is my 1 year nappiversary! I was gonna wait 1 year post BC to post pics but what the heck!
My last relaxer was Feb. ’10 and I first BC’d in June to about 2 inches. I seemed to have a lot of scab hair at the ends and they wouldn’t curl at all – just stuck straight up. So I decided to leave it alone and try to let it grow out some more. I put a full install in but it just wasn’t working for me. So I took it out and BC’d again down to 1-1.5 inches in July. My hair is about 6 inches now which seems to be on point for 1 year of growth .
While I’m at it, does anyone care to type my hair? Let me just put it out there that I’m not one of those people obsessed with being a 3 or my hair type for that matter. I’m just curious because my hair seems like a hybrid - it looks completely like a 4B/afro when it’s wet or no product; no curl definition at all, except for the nape where it’s the loosest, but it seems to curl/clump when I put gel in it for the most part, except for the middle which has always been the thickest. I ultimately feel like a 4A with 3C at the nape and 4B in the middle. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong though!

Can’t wait to see how my hair will look 1 year post BC! My goal is 10 inches in August, which is also when I want to straighten for the first time. Thanks for looking. J
