Whisper "bleep boop" to yourself when you're sad.
Alright ya’ll, Imma put the pictures first because I ALWAYS skip right past all of the words to look at the hair. :lachen:

A year ago:

Now:

I don’t have an exact date for when I bc’d, because when I did it, I was just disgusted with my hair (due to health issues) and wanted it to die. So I cut it all off. It wasn’t until a few months later that I decided to start caring and began taking progress pics. I do know that when I first cut it, my hair aaaaalmost reached my shoulders when stretched. And I still have no clue what my hair type is. Sad. :lachen: I think 4b, but I’m not sure. Who knows? *shrug* One thing that I’m super happy about is reaching APL! :woot: Now it’s smooth sailin’ from here cuz reaching APL is the debil. :nono: :lol:

I find it fascinating that my hair now is completely opposite of what it was when relaxed. When I was relaxed, my hair haaaated protein and needed to be combed daily. Now it can’t get enough protein and wants me to leave her alone and mind my own damn business. :lachen: I must admit that there are times when I miss the straight, flowing hair. But I used to LOVE when I got new growth and couldn’t keep my hands out of it. Now I have a head full of the stuff and I still love playing in it. :drunk:

My progress isn’t all extraordinary, so IDK if anyone would want my reggie, but I’ll post it anyway. :lol:

- Keep hair in flat twists and wear a half wig (La Jay :love: ) when I leave the house
- Steam 1-2 times a week with a mix of conditioner, raw honey and either a ceramide or ayurvedic oil. Retwist after washing and leave it alone till next wash day
- GHE nightly

Soooo... that’s it, I guess. Thanks for looking! :spinning:
 
Wow! Your hair was where my hair is now.You have more shrinkage, but it's exactly the same length pulled down. I feel so inspired to actually make to APL in 2013. Thank you!
 
Nice work. Time to update tour avitar. Meanwhile how can you do your own pull test. My ARM would be in a cast! Either way enjoy that thickness!
 
Wow! That's alot of growth for a year!! I like how simple your reggie is. Congrats on making APL:)
 
Whoa. I remember your hair when it was relaxed. It wasn't until a couple of months ago that I realized you cut your hair. GREAT PROGRESS.
 
Thanks, guys! :grin:

grownupnai It’s definitely an attainable goal. YOU CAN DEW EEET! :yay:

Blairx0 Girl, I had to have dh pull it down for me. I tried it alone and damn near dislocated my shoulder blade. :lachen:

MeowMix Thank you! Yep, I cut it off a while ago cuz it was just acting too much of a donkey for me to deal with :lol:
 
@tiffers - absolutely Beau- T-FULL. Congratulations!!!

Great inspiration. I see all this great growth within the period of a year
and wonder what is wrong with my naps :-(.

But updates like yours motivates me.
 
oooh... I love it. I am just about where you were a year ago. I cant wait for 2013. I guess Imma have to learn to leave my hair alone. I love it too much tho. :(
 
My progress isn’t all extraordinary, so IDK if anyone would want my reggie, but I’ll post it anyway. :lol:

Pleeze Chile :spinning:
you retained every millimeter of growth for the year, looks like u got a good 5 - 6 inches

THATS AWESOME :grin:
 
Iluvsmuhgrass I KNOW!!! I can’t freakin believe it! I’ve been ignoring the APL thread because I thought I would never make it. I went through a lazy faze and didn’t even look at my hair for like a month and a half. Then I decide to dc last night and BAM, APL! Maybe I need to neglect my hair more often :lachen:

IDareT'sHair Thanks, T!!! :grin:
