My 2010 Journey (pics)

[bestblackgirl]

I don't start threads, but I promised some people update pics so I decided to let you guys know what is been going on this past year.

First pic is of Feb '10 relaxer. I tried stretching my relaxer with extension braids, well you can see what a disaster that turned out to be. 2nd pic, I trimed my ends to SL because they were horrible, when i got my relaxer in July. The third is a back shot of my ends in July. I stretch for 21 weeks, then got a relaxer this Dec 15, and now I am full APL.

I hope to be BSL by July '11

Your ends look like they've really thickened up! Good progress.

Nice progess. Are you transitioning or stretching?

Your hair looks very healthy and thicker in the last picture. Keep up the good work.

This is more pics of my hair now. I love my buns now, they are thick.

I am so proud of myself, my two older sisters asked me last night if i got hair extension, I told them no. Now they want to see what I am doing and what products I am using. Mind you, they were the one who told me my hair was going to break off if i dont relax every month, and when i wash my hair often.
Hahha.

I am so psych for 2011

Oh I'm just stretching between 12-20 weeks at a time.

No one likes setbacks but your have definately overcome it b/c you've not only recovered your length but your hair looks much thicker. Great job.

@ the bolded: Why was it a disaster? I'm thinking of stretching my relaxer with medium-sized braids very soon but I will only have it on for no longer than two months. What kind of hair did you use and what types of braids did you get?

On a different note, your progress looks great! You got back to APL very quickly and with thicker ends than you started. Congrats!

@ Ezina
Well first off, everytime i use fake hair, my hair always end up breaking off, dont know why that is. But anyway this year I think it's how it was put that caused the setback... I mean I used synthetic hair and and it was my cousin who put it for me. She only braided a quarter of my hair and the rest was left unbraided with the braid, she used boiling water to make the braids curly. and i think my hair was put into the hot water as well because even the next day when i braided the ends past my hair, I still ended up with the setback.
I only had the braids for 5 weeks.

[Lita]

Your buns & ends looks great...Your hair looks very healthy/thick..Total different head of hair..Love it....




Happy Hair Growing!

 

[bestblackgirl]

Thank you guys... although i am happy with my progress, i am disappointed because i should have been further along my journey if it wasnt for this stupid setback. I vow never to use hair extensions again.. not even weave or wigs. I wont take any chances.
