Really late progress pics...

[thesweetone]

I'm supposed to post pics every 13 weeks when I do my touchup. My last touchup was April 22, but with everything going on with my wedding on May 20, I just haven't had the time to update. I finally have some time to check back in with the forum. When I signed on, the system said my last visit was on May 29! It's been a while!

Anyway, the pic on the left was from when I first joined the forum in August 2006. The pic on the right is from my last touchup on April 22, 2007. I'm learning to keep it simple, but I'm still tweaking my regimen. One thing that I have learned: My hair does not like no-lye relaxers!!!!! I used ORS Lye this last time and my hair is loving it. Special shout out to my now husband who helps me to relax my hair. The April 22 relaxer was the second time that we self-relaxed and we got it bone straight like I like it! Last time we used the johnson products no-lye and my hair was so badly underprocessed! I've learned that for me, the secret to being able to stretch for 3 months is getting my hair straight when I relax. It makes it so much easier.

I know that my ends are raggedy ladies, so no need to PM me that I need a trim! Hubby and I will attempt a self-trim at my next touchup on July 22. Sorry for the long post. It's been a while. Pics in siggy.

You've had some growth for sure. Does your hair naturally grow in the v shape too? Have you noticed that your hair thickened up over the last few months?

Congrats...looks like you got some good growth. Best wishes with your trim.

Nice growth girlie.

But I am going to have to say it - Please don't trim too much! I really don't think you should!
