I feel like my hair is growing so sllllllllllooooowwwwly!

But oh well, it remains healthy. This relaxer cycle I will be relying on roller sets more often. :)

Thanks for all the support ladies!

BTW, she trimmed me even on Dec 19th, so my hair had about 1' cut off one side. The pic on 12/19 stops just above 6 on the shirt.

Today she just relaxed no trim. My hair is at it's old tricks of growing faster on the left side than the right :(. But we decided to leave it uneven for now since I plan to wear roller sets for this relaxer cycle.

12/19- Hair just above #6 line
2/23- Hair just above line #8 with some just under line #6.

Each line is ~1 inch apart
 
Your hair looks healthy! Great Job...

My hair does the same thing (Grows Uneven). My right side grows at a faster pace than my left side....I even it out in Jun 06 and I'm not doing it again no time soon (until I reach my hair goal). I just wear rollersets!
 
great progress! just be careful with your ends, when they are not healthy they can damage the rest of your hair by splitting up. Happy hair growing !

Girl, bye!! Your hair looks great, so thick and soft looking. You are making great progress. Whats the use of long thin hair. Just keep doing what you are doing.

Girl, I'm sure you're right. I guess it doesn't seem like it since I feel like I'm STILL shoulder length. I guess I'm more like collar bone length now, but still chasing APL! I must say that I'm happy that my hair has remained healthy although I don't have hair down to my bra like I think I should at this point. Now that I've come to realize what works for me (simplicity), I will keep that up and let me hair tell me what it needs me to do. So, if that's trim than so be it. At this point I refuse to have long unhealthy looking hair. :lol:

Thanks for all the compliments ladies!

To answer your question seraphinelle, this time I only stretched for about 9.5 weeks, but usually go between 9-12 weeks. I just let my hair tell me when it's time. I don't stretch just for the sake of stretching per say. The longest I've stretched was 7 months (tried to transition). That didn't work out well for me and I ended up having to get a deep trim after that 7 month strech. Unfortunately super stretching doesn't work on my head.
