My not so big CHOP was in Feb. of this year after 18 months of transitioning.
My puff right in Feb '11 right after my chop
My puff in July, 5 months after chop
Pull test comparison shot Feb/July
Here is a pic of my hair straightened from this week. Sorry I don't have a straight comp shot after my bc, this was my 1st time straightening it since then.
BTW: There are so many beautiful heads of hair in this thread I can't even begin to name them individually but you ladies encourage me!

I love your fro and your progress is inspiring.
What style do you normally wear? Daily products?

My Friend -
Thanks so much! *blush*
During warmer weather, I tend to wear styles that I can wet, water rinse or cowash more often (daily) like mini braids. During colder weather, I tend to rock cornrows and wigs/headwraps and wash/DC once per week. My stands can't hold up to the cold.
My staple has always been a moisturizing spray consisting of condish + water + oil. I use it before bed and in the morning (on days when I don't cowash/water rinse). I tend to use coneless condishes except when I DC or blow dry. Suave TC is my all purpose condish.
Adding ayurveda powders to my poo and condish has helped maintain and improve the health of my hair. And I've tried numerous topical growth aids to accelerate my growth, but did not see real results with anything.
I recently experienced my biggest growth spurt in the last month (August - September 2011) after I stopped taking my vitamins and stopped applying my topical aid (sulfur mix). I wore my hair in braid extensions for 3 weeks and sprayed it twice per day w/my moisturizing mix.
Here's what I mean:
31-Aug-11
01-Oct-11
I still don't know what happened but I think I may have been allergic to or had some sort of adverse reaction to my vitamins. As soon as I stopped taking them, my nails grew like crazy, I began to lose some the extra weight I'd gained and (apparently) my hair grew like crazy!
Thanks so much! *blush*

Lesedi,
I will have to find one where you can see my hair. I try to hide it as often as possible. Even in photes you cant really see it.

hahahaha I don't have one!! I am trying to come up with one though. The only thing I do is make sure I shampoo and DC once a week. The only 2 staples I use for definition right now are Royal Crown and EcoStyler depending on what style I am wearing. I am still searching for perfect leave in but I really haven't purchaed anything new so I use either Blue Magic or Shea Moisture Curl Milk which are ok for now. The only thing I do know is that any good definition I want from twist outs, braids outs, etc, I have to apply products on my hair when it's completely dry so no wash and gos. I think if I can get my porosity and protien/moisture balances on the right level, it might help. I can say that I am really happy with my decision to go natural and I am not looking back
