Hi, Ladies, sorry it has been awhile. I have had a rotten summer cold & promised tasks seemed to all collided at the same time so I have been extremely busy with work, etc. Anyway, I had a most interesting revelation a couple of nights ago. I was feeling pretty discouraged because I was not seeing much growth. Now I realize have a lot of shrinkage - I'd say 85% - I mean - zoop -just shrinks up. Well, a couple of nights ago I decided to take my large afro pick/rake & comb my hair out. I never, ever do this. Well, my twa is no longer a twa. I got a fro, yall - a real fro. But once I put gel or my leave in & it dries (even before it dries) - zoop - shrunk up.
I also got my camera & sat and look at my before pictures taken at the end of June. I have a lot more than the ones I posted. OMG, I was bald - I mean my edges were just empty. I have so much more hair there now. And overall, my hair is longer & thicker. I think no one will see the length unless I flat iron it.
So, I realized, that when I am looking at my hair too hard, too often & with the bald spots filled in (check that out - I said
filled in) it is more difficult to see the growth. Then when I take a step back, look at the pictures & take a really good look (especially comparing it with the earlier pix) - I am amazed. I think I have seen too many long haired women here & just often feel I am NEVER, EVER gonna get there.
But deep now I realize it is happening.
<patience, girl, patience> LOL
