This is where I was in September this year.

I was natural until June this year. During the years I was natural I stayed in mini braids 99% of the time. I moisturized and sealed my ends daily. Used heat 3x a year. Cowashed 4-5x a week, and baggied my whole head almost every night. Now that I am relaxed, I bun 99% of the time. Moisturize and seal every two days. I contribute my growth to protective styling, and keeping my ends moisturized.

I'm loving the pix in here!!

You ladies have probably seen a lot of mine before but I'm posting to encourage the fine-haired, slow growers out there! I average less than 1/2" per month and about 4.5" per year.

November 2010

October 2011 - notice there's only an "A" on my shirt because I thought that was the longest I could grow my hair when I made the shirt. :yep:

April 2012 - See! Slow grower.

April 2013 (my last formal length check) - my hand is resting on my hip bone.

It's not much but is definitely more than I thought I would ever have! Thanks to the encouragement from ladies in these challenges, I'm a reformed clipper/scissor addict.:grin:

Oh my great progress MzSwift!! I am certainly a slow grower and this is great inspiration. Thanks for posting! I was thinking how I have been on here since 2010 and still the same length basically. I grow at 1/2 per month too but had all kind of set backs thus far with constantly breaking relaxed hair. I am transitioning now and can already see a difference.

thanks to all of you ladies for posting your pics - they are inspirational and keeps hope alive for those of us "who never thought we could". Thank you and Happy Hair Growing!

@MzSwift - did you say "It's not much??"" :poke:
Beautiful MBL hair in 3 years - from a teeny eeny afro!!!:shocked:
I would be doing cartwheels and at the mall purchasing my "long hair - happy dress"!!
 
Aww, I thought there were some more pix posted :(

Thanks ladies, it has been a JOURNEY!!

ilong :lol: I'm serious! I'm totally jaded. It really doesn't seem like much because I've seen ladies on here grow from bald to booty length in 3 years!

Yes ma'am. My strands are definitely fine. They're very thin and flyaway. I have an illusion of fuller hair due to my cottony texture. It's like a cloud though, your hand will go right through it.
