SouthernStunner said:
Yawl I just took out my braids and it took me 10 hrs to do that. My neck hurts on both sides. I had to be extra careful cause she braided just slightly past my hair so when I sniped the ends to begin taking them out I had to be carefuly not to cut my own hair. Anyway I am going to clarify, moist poo, alter ego then wen.

Sat morning I am going to Henna. I am so tired. I am also going to steam and flat iron my hair so if it comes out right I will post some pics.

Waiting on pics.:look:
 
When DH gets home with the boys I will have him post the pic for me. I dont like it and please dont judge the "style" I look like a darn chia pet my flat iron and blow drying skills are subpar at best. Oh and I think I will be in the APL by Dec 2010 club but I still like the ride. Remember I have not had a relaxer since Sept 2008. Pics are coming soon I promise!

I feel you SS. I texlaxed a little over a week ago and my hair is starting to shrink, get puffy, and big. I knew I should have taken a pic last week. I didn't so I tried to flatiron to get a length check :nono:. I'm looking all crazy. 1/4 hair straight, 3/4 shrunk up, and I found an underprocessed shrunk up mess in a small section. Needless to say I won't be able to use that pic. My mom laughed and was like girl why did you even let me take that.
 
Thanks aa9746 and Princess. My hair wants to be like y'alls when it grows up. I use my ovation twice a week and usaully wear it in a wet-n-go style. Any advise on products or styles to try for faster growth?

Thank you, very much. I have used Ovation and recevied good growth. However, I don't use it consistent. I have a brand new bottle, I haven't used yet.

Right now im not using Ovation, im using GNC Hair, Skin & Nail Pills with Biotin. Im trying to see which one gives me more growth.

I wet bun daily and do weekly deep condition, I feel those the two things that helped me alot.

Keep using the Ovation and you should be good. I liked it that why I bought another bottle.
 
I have been Bantu Knotting it up this weekend :yep:

I so hope I am closer to APL this time around. I update next month.
 
Here's my update.. just did BKT tonight

You guys are too funny ok so when hubby and the boys came home I realiezed that the camera was not charged so that is what I did last night. This morning I did a length check and slapped that puffy mess in a pony at the nape of my neck for work today. I will have the pics up for you tonight (my monday night your monday morning) for you to see. I also henna my hair and it came out darker but me likes it.

Something told me not to go through all the trouble of flat ironing. :wallbash: It is rainy season here so every other day it rains and when its not it looks like it is about to. Sabino worked as best it could but it aint got nothing on this tropical weather here in Guam.

I actually can't post it bc I am in the HYH challenge but I was going to add it to the pics I plan to post at the end of the challenge. It might be fun to include it anyway :lachen:.

My hair grew faster (retained) when I cut out heat, low manipulation, deep conditioning, moisture, and sealing. I wear braids, twists, and wigs. Also, I like to baggy with Ovation with a deep conditioner Aubrey Organics White Camellia (my favorite). I shampoo with AO White Camellia shampoo.
 
Ok ladies here's my June 30th update photo I know I'm late...

My relaxer dates so far are 3/30/09 and 7/11/09

07/13/09


P.s. when I went this last time for my relaxer she had nothing but positive things to say about how healthy my hair is these days (she's a sweet heart like that), but then she followed up with "WE NEED TO CLIP YOUR ENDS NEXT REALAXER".... I responded with out missing a beat that there will be NO clipping of any ends ANY time soon... She sweetly said ok... lol

The photo in my siggy is my start photo.

APL is on the horizon:drunk:
 
This thread is getting long! I want to thank southern for making this challange! It's my first challenge since joining LHCF a little over a year ago and im actually commited now that my hair is finally healthy. Now my question is .. is there going to be a new thread made for reveal dates in December ?? A thread just for everyone to post their results since this thread is getting long it will be hard for everyone to browse through all those pages by december.
 
i last measured back in may. I dont know how much if any ive grown since then, but i should def be at underarm length by dec. hope to be a little past by an inch or so fingers crossed.
 
Here are the pics I promised you. They aint that great so dont be mad, I warned you

Better late than never...updates are in the siggy pic. I had a setback after April pics, but a tweak to my regi seems to have me on the comback trail.HHG!

Southern Stunner--Your hair looks great! You've made a lot of progress. What would you say your hair type is? When I was 6 months post my new growth in the front and sides looked like that. In the back it is a bit more textured & tighter.

Essensual--I'm loving your Jun09 pic!

I dont know my texture I wish someone could tell me.


Ladies you all made me blush today. I was starting out not so good cause I am on day 2 of the Master Cleanse and was dreaming of marshmellows (I dont even eat them). You all just gave me the strength to push forward.
Thank you
