I was going to do it at the end of this month (on my 1.5 yr anni), but I'm trying to figure out how to efficiently do it...I'm just getting my length check tank so I don't have anything to compare it to, and I don't straighten my hair often...so all I really have is shrunken hair comparison pics.

Any ideas?
 
Time to let my med boar brush go until I get more texture on my hairline. It seems like my soft brush is too soft. I dont know what to do.
 
I was off of Hempseed oil for awhile. I used it again a few times and to mix up some stuff to get rid of. This stuff makes my hair feel soooooo gooooooood. I will be repurchasing a bottle ASAP
 
thanks to being blessed/cursed with thick hair, since going natural the bigness of my hair has acted as a camouflage for my chubby face!......feck dieting i look 10lbs lighter:grin::lachen:
 
Hair, I'm sorry I took so long to do the henna. You look and feel so much better now. I have learned to listen to you, and you tell me exactly what you need. I promise that in future, I will attend to your henna requests in a more timely manner.
 
EllePixie,Awwwwww shucks. No ma'am,I truly suck at length shots.:perplexed:
My pics are normally all over the place. I straighten random pieces,and call it a day. :look:
Yeah,I suck.
I have no idea how you would go about that. Sorry for not helping,lady!:sad:

Can't wait to see your length check. Even with your shrunken styles you can tell that you have made great progress. :yep:

Yea I don't know how to do it...I think I might just wait four months and be sure to take the pic with my shirt now.

Thanks! My shots are just terrible b/c I usually take them all willy nilly like while I'm lounging around my house. Every time I stretch a piece of hair the zoom is totally different which makes it difficult to spot where it is on my body. I stink!
 
Myjourney2009 - I've not used hemp in a while either. Partly because, I'm no longer mixing stuff up. I might have to bring out the AOWC for old time sake to mix in some hemp for that juicy goodness you speak of.

Sometimes I wish my hair could air-dry naked.

I washed and conditioned my hair only to find that I don't have much of my shea butter mix left. I doubt jojoba oil would be enough.
 
I tried a twist-out the other day so I can start learning how to do MY hair and it ended up looking ridiculous because 1) my hair is at that awkward length and 2) I have thin hair. #shame.
 
I kind of wish my sister would go natural. She has not had a relaxer in 4 months, and she wigs and braids it up most of the time. I told her she might as well cut off the relaxed ends and just BC. She loves (and prefers) short pixie styles , so I know the thought of not having length is not what's causing her to pause.

I never harp on it though. I casually mention it when she tells me how long it's been since her last relaxer (she's not stretching, she's a cna that works long hours and she doesn't feel like it) and I tell her how much I would love to get my hands on her hair. I also remind her she can always relax again and get that cute relaxed pixie cut again whenever she is ready. She doesn't have to do it for life.

Her hairso much fuller than my hair and I know she (read: I) could do so much more with her than I can with mine. But because her hair is more kinky, and not really curly, I don't know if she'll ever do it. I guess time will tell.
 
I absolutely love the curl definition I get from using One N Only argan oil styling cream for my twistout. I love the smell of the entire product line as well but I don't want to use it too frequently cause I know the smell will get on my nerves after a while.
 
Reeaally need to find my staple hg products. Tired of just buying stuff because it says "moisturizing" or something. I need to somehow figure out my porosity amongst other things so I know what products/ingredients my hair likes and when to use them so I can retain whatever hair I do grow
 
My hair is doing much better now that I just leave it alone and let it do its thang without me being excessive. At one point, I was reading and trying some of everything. Now, I keep to the same regi and incorporate new DCners only. My hair likes this process. I also ensure that I keep Kenra DC in quick rotation to ensure my hair doesn't get out of balance with trying different conditioners.

I got the wildest comment today at work why do you wear those things(wigs,weaves)when you have so much hair..I wore my fro to work bc honestly I just don't give a blank anymore and we were moving so no one was really there..I think I will phase into doing the phony bun for the summer..
 
A guy commented "your hair is getting long" last night
I wanted to stretch a piece down my back and tell him how long I have been growing it but I stopped myself :lol:
 
Washing my hair tonight instead of in the morning..i hope i dont fall asleep under the dryer.
I want highlights in the front of my hair..I hate the summer, it makes me want to do daring things to my hair...must. remain. bland.

Just got home and had my hair in a ponytail all day my edges didn't look so bad, so I use some edge control on then and they laid down but that was at 4 and by 11 at night when I'm getting home from my internship they were nappy again ughhhh I wish they would just grow all the way in already, just happy they aren't bald anymore!!!
