Girl you are so lucky you have reniece. How many times a year does she dust/trim your ends?? I am going to leave my hair alone not going to even it out , im just going to have to rock that jacked up ends for a while until it gets longer I will trim it myself. I am never letting any other stylist near my hair with scissors.

I usually get my ends trimmed twice a year, but this year I had it done three times to even out some damage that was caused when I used henna.

That's some nice progress you have made, it looks so shiny and healthy.
 
I have a major set back. i had a friend do my touch up since my new growth is getting so thick and what a fukkin disaster!!

My hair dropped out on both sides and in the middle.:sad::sad: i can't even wear a ponytail. such a tragedy. i was hopping to hang up all my wigs for 2010 but that can't happen anymore.

Now I am debating if too:

Nurse it and wear wigs and continue with goals

or

cut it short.

I am also thinking of stretching my touch ups.

Yeah I am going to stretch this time for about 8 months. I want to relax again in May when my hubby gets back and we take the kids to Tokyo Disney. Then I will stick to a 6 month stretch only relaxing in May (for the summer) and Nov (for the Holidays). I noticed my edges have grown in very well and my hair is much thicker. I am loving it and I owe it all to the ladies here in the challenge for encourgement and the growafrolong website for teaching me the Crown and Glory method.
 
I flat ironed to do a length check today. I am so happy to say that I am ONE INCH away from APL. I think if I relaxed today (I am 27 weeks post) I would be just about there as even with using the heat, I am still working with major shrinkage.

I am stretching through Oct and Nov in the hopes of making the one inch I need for APL. I plan to do the same as you next year Southern Stunner, I am relaxing in June and December only.

:yay: Congrats.!! I can't wait to see your update pics.
 
Ok so I have to tell you ladies what happened yesterday. I live in Guam which is in the middle of the Pacific. We are in a storm watch and its suppose to be a bad one. So bad that the grocery store on base is usually closed on Mondays and the Commander made them open so people can stock up now. So DH and I were picking up some stuff and I happen to past an isle that had VO5 on sale for .49 the only thing that came to mind was ohhh I gotta stock up. DH said if you dont put that down so we can get water and batteries! I ran and got a second basket.

Storm may be coming but I am gonna look good!

And I aint ashamed. I didnt tell anyone else this but I knew you ladies would understand.

I know I haven't updated.... ever. :lol: But I will let you all in on what I've been doing. Since August, I've been taking 5000 mg daily of biotin. I've been keeping out the flat-iron and rollersetting with every wash, using Hairveda hair oil, and trying to mix in air drying with a dryer. I tried to do a 16 week stretch, but with that biotin, I just can't make it :lachen:

So I am relaxing at 12 weeks tomorrow with ORS Olive Oil relaxer. I know it's a favorite on the board so I'll try it out. :yep: I am also going to get my ends dusted. no more that 1/4 in. I lost my camera (:wallbash:) so I'll try to take pictures with my phone. I've never uploaded cell phone pics, so I hope they come out all right. :yep:
