Whatchu mean?! Claim it! My hair is also longer when wet but when I flat iron bone straight, its the same length when wet. Just like when a natural head tugs down on her curls to find her true length. Its the same concept. Claim it! Congrats!
 
I'm relaxing this Friday at 12 weeks post. I'm trying the half and half method for the first time because my hair is always underprocessed. I'm so nervous, gotta hit up youtube :D
 
I'm co washing 3x a week and rollersetting.

But since I'm washing so often I'm using only my detangler as a leave in.
I can't wait to relax at 8 weeks this new growth Is real.

Green smoothies +cardio 5x a week = amazing growth.

Are you a fast rollersetter? I suck. Matter of fact, I've only done a rollerset on my own once. What brand dryer are you using? How long does it take for your hair to dry? Which rollers are you using, the normal magnetic ones?

I just bought a LCL and it's awesome!
It takes me about 40 mins to roll my hair on perm rods. And 1 hour and 10 mins to dry.

With the regular magnetics maybe 45 mins to set.

I use the clips that can slide under the roller.

I started rollersetting in 2011. I grew my hair from SL to a BSL in 14 months. Then I cut it because I had a hard year and didn't feel like dealing with it.

But i wear my rollersets wavy or curly. My hair thrives!

I think that moisture that's baked lol in my hair during drying has a lot to do with it.

Practice that's Thats only way I learned. It was frustrating.

The biggest misconception is you ha've to roll your hair a certain way.

NO! Girl get those rollers on your head the best way for you. Once I figured that out it was a breeze.

My hair is .SL now.

Patience and Practice.

yeah because rollersetting is time consuming

It is but air drying my hair looks dull. I can style my hair anyway i want after setting.

Before started rollersetting I was at my wits end.

My hair stronger, shiny, and I rarely get breakage.

Plus I can style it depending on the roller size, technique and hold/curly product.
 
It's like my scalp knows a relaxer is coming.

It's itching like crazy (and not b/c it's dirty. I washed my hair on Friday).
 
Ok so I've always been embarrassed to show these pictures but here they go this is where I started it's been about 18 months or so

It was a mess but thanks to this site I've really turned my hair around.

Now back to your regularly scheduled program. :)
 
SuchaLady I think low manipulation and PS helped me the most. I bun nearly 7 to 5 days a week. I've also used growth aids MN and a sulfur mix. While they may have helped I don't really know how much though. I'm on and off with it.... And of course DC once or twice a week co wash all the regular things. HTH I don't do anything too special.

freckledface what did you color your hair with?
 
Went back to the basic for hair instead of jumping on bandwagons which caused me my setback int he first place :nono:

The only thing I'm keeping is the co washing and growth aids. My hair has been retaining length/non breaking quite well.

FelaShrine - I couldn't find anything less than 20 applications when I bought my DE last month.

Keep checking eBay to see if you can get lucky. That's where I used to buy my product, but couldn't find anything recently.

Now, I have enough relaxer until 2016!!! :blush:
