[loulou82]

I'm in too. I think I made it but I'll probably need until August to get me to the full SL I really want. I'll still do an end of June length check.

Keisha: No problem. I am bad at blow drying also. I am always on YT trying to find a better technique.

 

[Ltown]

I'm in currently cornrow but tipping sl not full sl.

 

[loulou82]

Any more updates?

 

[Evolving78]

yes i am willing to go another round of six months. i should be there by the end of the summer. i am going to be rollersetting my hair and doing my little ponytail.

 

[buddhas_mom]

Here's my update. After two haircuts since january I think I made SL. Im definitely not full SL yet. Hopefully i'll be there by december. The last pic is my starting pic.

Ok so i opened an account w/ picture trail now let's see how evrything goes...

01/31/2009:jus took down my december sew-in

 

[KeishaT]

continued from top...

03/26/2009: had just taken down my kinky twists..

04/16/2009: I tracks glued into my hair b/c I was tired of the weaves..this is when the setback occurred..you can probably tell in some of the pics..I took out the tracks and just took pics of my real hair...

06/24/2009: jus recently took down my 2 month sew-in..did a henna treatment..airdried in twists and the look was nice but i didn't know what to do w/ it so instead i sprayed water to dampen my hair and did a 5min blowdry on 4 sections and ended w/ a puff..

What have I learned:
-Patience is the key to healthy hair
-Salon visits are a no no
-My hair loves natural products (AOHSR, Giovanni, Shea Butter, honey, oils (vatika, olive, and coconut)
-Herbal Essence conditioners are great for natural 4a/b's who would like to co-wash or just detangle
- a little goes a long way

Thanks 2:

and there you have it..for the next six months i plan to take better care of my ends..continue the henna treatments learn to trim my own ends.. I haven't had a trim six december and I know i'm in need of one badly..but here's to the first six months..and here's to another six months.....

 

[KeishaT]

[jaded_faerie]

I'm in for another 6 months. I don't know if I'll be SL by december...I'm thinking of cutting the relaxed ends in December.

The updates are looking good ladies

 

[loulou82]

Here's my June update. I took the pic on 06.09.09. I've made about 0 progress in my nape from April and still need 1 inch to be full SL. The only good news is that my puff looks fuller and my bangs are beyond my chin.
