NICE JOB!!!!!!!
 
Hey Yawl (I am southern) I need major encouragement. I havent had a relaxer since Sept 08 and I am missing the straightness of the swanging hair. I hope when I take out this round of braids I will flat iron with my new FHI Platform and that may comfort me until Nov when I plan on finally relaxing.

I dont even know how long my hair is cause I havent done a length check.

Oh how I want to relax!!!!!!!

I'm sure that when you take out the braids you'll be happy with your progress. Sept. to now is a lot of new growth:grin:!

Hi Southern!
Hang in there. You don't have long to go, and hopefully the flatironing will satiate you for now. I understand I you feel. I can't wait until Nov. either. That will get me a little closer to Jan. when I plan to flatiron again.

Hang in there! Think of Traycee...

The 28 is fine I meant to say between 25-30 Dec. since everyone will be getting dolled up for the holidays.
 
Hey Ladies, Im checkin in. I had a horrible, horrible, horrible last week. However Im okay now. But my hair had to suffer while I got out my slump. After 5 days, I finally put some water on my hair, DC with Sheabutter Mango Cholesterol. Then wet bun it up. Hopefully my hair will be okay.
 
Mini Update:
I've now moved from buns to updos. I simply twist the hair up using those plastic good pins and NO ponytail holder. This might not seem significant, but originally, I wasn't able to keep my hair up in an updo because it was too short so I had to use the foam bun along with a pony tail holder. This is the only indication of growth that I have since there will be no flat-iron until the reveal date!

Checking in ladies with a wet shot. I am cheating, I know, but I need some encouragement as I inch my way to APL. This is a HUGE goal for me because I have NEVER been APL. If I make APL, then I am confidient that I will see BSL and maybe even: I wont say it (MBL) :giggle:

Oh and I am going from texturixzer to relaxer, so the ends look raggedy and my stronger hair is on top.:grin:

I've never been APL too and feel everything will fall into place once I hit it. BSL and MBL are both within 5-6 inches of APL so that ain't nothing compared to the 11-12 inches required for APL. :yep:
 
Here's my update. Im nowhere near apl but i'm proud of my progress. The first is my starting pic, the rest are where I am now.

Beautiful growth, that looks like 4 inches! What was the time frame between the first and other three pics? :)
Click to expand...

Thank you! The first was October 08 and the others are from last week. Thats about 8 months. I'm very happy, i've never been able to retain that much length in 8 months before. Before LHCF I was lucky to retain 3 inches a year.

Well, congratulations and keep up the good work and growth retention. I'm always amazed to see confirmation that hair typically grows half an inch a month and your pics are proof of that. I pray that over this year I am able to retain as much growth as you have. :)
 
Buddhas_mom--That is excellent progress!! I can't wait to see everyone else's pics. I'm in the HYH challenge but I will be texlaxing tomorrow :)! I will show my progress at the end of this year.
