SHOW YOUR NG PIX PLEASE

[L.Brown1114]

Great pictures! Everyone's hair is so lovely. I love texture shots, the difference in relaxed vs the new growth always amazes me.

LB1114, I used to think that my hair grew .3 a month but then some months it was .5 so I just measured and it averaged .4 inches a month.
I tried ovation for a month some time last year but I didn't notice a difference honestly.
I am just cleaning up my diet and exercising now. Hopefully this will help counteract my PCOS which used to make my hair just fall out from touching it.

OMG I HAVE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(polysistic overy syndrom right?)
is that why when my hair is wet it comes out like someone put nair in my conditioner??? i had no idea that was because of that!!

My next trim is due March 28.
My 1 year transitioning anniversary is May 2.
My 35th birthday is June 11.

Thanks!

How long have you been transitioning?

Since April.

It took me a while to figure out NG means new growth

These pictures were taken around the end of December 2009, so that was about 8 months into my transition

Yes, that is PCOS.
It causes hair loss and male pattern baldness in females.
My hair would just fall out if you slightly touched it, even while dry.
You may notice that your nails are weak also.

Here is a pic of my NG. I am 14 weeks post. My hair has very small coils. I still have some relaxed hair left, but that is going to be less as I stretch into March.

Thank you!

I'm not sure of my texture quite yet, I'm hoping for curls and/or coils when I BC....

Unstretched @ 6 mths.

 

[poookie]

i'm transitioning, & here are pics of my unstretched roots. i'm 21 weeks post in these pictures., & my last relaxer (ever!) was on september 5, 2009.

i cut off the relaxed ends so i could see how my hair would curl up once i was fully natural.

 

[DaPPeR]

[blessedandlucky]

Hey girl! Here are pics of my NG at 14 weeks post..I was using MT at the time..not anymore though...

 

[Caychica]

I have some in my album, I wish I knew exactly how much weeks post I am but I started transitioning before LHCF so I didnt keep track.

[Adaoba2012]

Wondering why you stopped using MT?

It was a combination of things...money is #1 but I was a newbie at the time hopping on a bunch of bandwagons and after I relaxed my hair from that stretch...I realized the left side of my hair had broken off real bad. If you look at my Avi [3 mos later] u can see how the left was a little shorter but it had got better. Now its all even [finally] so I think the MT had something to do with it..I may go back to it one day..but for now I'm just trying to keep it simple
