MY 8-MONTH UPDATE!!!! w/pics...

[Dejhara]

oK ladies,
I just had to share my update pics with some women who understand this journey. Although Ive still got a long road ahead of me to be where some of you are, I am SOOOO PROUD OF MYSELF!!!! I basically stayed away from heat and chemicals by wearing kinky twists, and a few sew-ins, and ive only had 2 relaxers so far this year (dec '09-now). Im slowing trying to convince my little sister to get on board with this program, but she never believes what I say until a complete stranger says it lol. so if any of you have any before/after pics or stories to encourage her, PLEASE SHARE.
Thanks guys.

You've done a complete 180 degree turnaround! Your hair looks so healthy! Now comes the crappy part of waiting for the length to come.

Keep up the good work girl!

Wow! Great progess.

What did you use to get your nape in shape? You've been putting the perm on that last? What are doing with your hair while in the kinky twist and sew ins?

You are off to a great start. I can see you have been taking care of your hair. You have a thick head of hair , your ends look nice too..

 

[Dejhara]

Wow! Great progess.

What did you use to get your nape in shape? You've been putting the perm on that last? What are doing with your hair while in the kinky twist and sew ins?

While i was in the kinky twists and sew-ins, i kept my hair moisturized using wave nouveau and sealing with olive oil, not too much, just enough that it wasnt all dry. i washed and conditioned my scalp and exposed hair probably every 2 weeks. And yep, i relaxed my hair from the top, and worked my way down. It probably helped that i got a trim everytime i got a new weave, to eventually catch up with all the damaged ends. Other than that, nothing special. I think i just finally realized that my hair doesnt like heat or chemicals.

THANKS LADIES FOR ALL THE ENCOURAGEMENT!!!! IM LOOKIN FORWARD TO DOIN A 1YR UPDATE IN A FEW MONTHS.

Wow that's amazing progress. Your hair looks so lush and healthy. Your sister should join just by looking at your before and after pictures.

IMO the hardest part about hair is finding out what works for you and getting it healthy again, and you've done that. Gaining length now will be so much easier now and it will grow long and healthy =)

 

[brucebettye]

Great job your hair looks pretty.

 

[halee_J]

What a difference! it looks so healthy and silky-shiny now. Your ends look really good in the pics. The length will come

 

[Janet']

[LilMissRed]

Beautiful progress! if ur sister doesnt see the proof in ur hair.. I dont know what will convince her! Great job, keep up the fabness

 

[BullGirl2010]

Wow, your hair looks amazing. You will definitely attain the length you desire. Keep up the great, great work.

 

[Whimsy]

I don't think you should even mention the long road ahead....you really have to stop and just revel in the progress you've made. Your before and afters look like a totally different head of hair! I know you're proud of yourself. Your after pics look so healthy and shiny and lush. Congrats on your progress

Your sister will come around when she decides to value her hair more, it aint your battle.
