Here is my progress. Hopefully, in the the next six months I will have the same amount of progress. **crossing fingers** Next update, I will have better pics. I took these just to take them, not realizing they would be useful later.

nice progress, you're moving right along to APL, pretty sure you will make it before your next 6 month check
 
Great job retaining your length! What do you think helped the most?

At first when I took the weave out, I was holding on to the length that I did achieve. But it was paper thin scraggly and just yuck. No matter what style I put it in, other than a bun, it just looked horrible. So I threw in the towel and just went and got hair cut.

Well, that was the Feb 2011 picture. She cut a whole lot but I am telling you, my hair felt so full. Although it was short, my ponytail felt so full and thick. This was the answer for sure. I wasn’t doing anything special, at that point but washing every week, rollersetting at home, flat ironing my roots and making sure I did an Emergencee deep conditioner every month. I was also attentive to making sure I did a moisturizing conditioner every week as well. I would relax every eight weeks (I know better now) and wear my hair down for one month and up in a bun for one month taking the hair down weekly for a wash. When I did have it in a bun, I will moisturize and seal my ends before I put it in a bun. To smooth it all down, I used Ecostyle olive oil gel.

So long story short my regimen at that time wasn’t really a solid proof one but it worked because my growth was great. I am now making some changes and solidifying it but in summary here’s what I did from Feb – Aug

Feb – Relaxer and ends clipped
Roller set and week 2-4 flat iron roots
Weekly wash , shampoo, light protein, and moisturizing dc
Monthly Emergencee

MarchWeekly wash , shampoo, light protein, and moisturizing dc

Now I am switching things up a bit cause I done learned some stuff and first change I am making will be the frequency of my perms because for real for real that was way too often. As soon as I fine tune, I will be sure to share the new reggie with you guys and the products I am using.

Thanks for all the compliments :)

ETA: I also was faithful in taking my Alive vitamins. I notice I have great growth when I take vitamins.

You hair looks very full and thick, congratulations on your progress and keep up the good work! Thanks for posting your regimen too!
 
Alrighty then! You seem to be in a race to somewhere; can you slow down and quit making the rest of us look bad? :rolleyes: *hating*

OK, on a real note, congrats! Hair looks good. :up:
