Its so funny...when I look at that LC pic I just cant believe its my own hair! That hairnorexia is REAL! I never bothered to do LC pics bc I honestly didn't think I had much retention at all...its pretty crazy, huh?
But I don't wanna leave this thread bc I wanna focus on the front of my hair

Damp!!! I love castor oil it seals in a lot of moisture that way
I noticed some splits today on my troubled crown.
I realized its been over 2 months since my last dust (well, dust turned full blown trim). Time to do a tiny dustingNo more than quarter inch! I promise!
I noticed a huge difference in the amount of split ends after I changed all my combs. I switched to hercules sagemanns. very good investment.

Thanks ma'am. Give it a go. It left my hair feeling so soft and moisturized. It really does feel like butter. However the smell of this product is something else...it smells like a relaxer to me lol. I had to read the jar again after I opened it bc I was like wait a minute. I can't wait until I have a full looking ponytail. I have to give puffs a try with the elastic bands (you know the illusion of a bigger puff/pony) using this.

Hello. Relaxed today after 10 week stretch. I got mixani bb mild. I think my stylist majorly overlapped bc i got the relaxer after taking out some summer cornrows and my hair was wavy and she couldnt deal with it 
. in good news she left it in no more than 10 minutes and only combed thru once, so i dunno. well hopefully if i baby it i wont have another setback. My broken areas are trying their best to grow back.
Heres a pic update. The left is the end of may (last relaxer) and the right is today. Hopefully u can see progress. I am heading into a 12-14 week stretch helped by my cornrows/wig.

faithVA, HairPleezeGrow, @ronie, Wenbev, probably chopping again before i cornrow. i think the last 5 inch chop has made me a cutting addict
my hair is growing fast, but my breakage 2-3 inches from the ends is not catching up. thinking of taking myself up to an inch above SL (basically where i started in late may) to completely start over. if my growth is consistent, i'll be back where i am now in 3 months....but without see-thru ends. would anyone sign off on this, or do you all want me to wait until i get some more growth so I don't lose length progress?

Can you just nurse your ends with some type of protein and moisturize after until it does catch up? I don't think you have to cut off your progress unless your ends are split. You have to treat the cause which is your breakage or why it's breaking bc if you continue to have breakage then you are going to end up cutting your progress every 3 months.

Hey girlie. My ends look great, nice and blunt. The problem is that ALL my hair is growing fast, and seemingly at the same speed. The breakage is growing a lot, but it is still 2-3 inches shorter than the rest of my hair. I really don't see how it will catch up. I could go the gradual route and just do a 1 inch trim like every few months, that would work to catch it up...but my ends will be thin for a longer time and I'm impatient. Have you been thru an experience like this?

No I haven't but I have seen a lot threads or questions asked about breakage. I see what you are saying now. Yeah you could trim every couple of months then to even it out or if you think it would be better to just cut and get it over with then do what you think is best. Whatever you decide it will grow back. But remember to treat the breakage or it will continue. I've been hearing about aphogee lately.

Ok. Yea i don't want to do anything rash. as background, in march chunks of my hair broke down to the line of demarcation. All over my head. I was apl and cut to neck length so that the breakage wouldn't have so far to go. Ive come a long way since them, but the ends are still thin bc of the breakage and I'm tired of looking at it. So my inclination is to cut but as i look in the mirror, it would be quite short for me. Maybe trimming 1 inch every couple months is the answer.
i will think about it and sleep on it.

Trixie58 step away from the shears!!!
Ok thats 2 people, you and HairPleezeGrow advising against it. Ok you all win. I will chill and just wear a loose pony for few weeks since i just relaxed, then start ps'ing with weaves and wigs till early next year. Ill trim after that. Sadly there will be another woman in new york city wandering the streets with scraggly hair for the next six months. I have to push thru this phase!

It's my 1 year bc anniversary this weekend. I colored my hair last night with the Shea Moisture Medium Brown. It came out nicely. I think the Naturtint works better on my hair though. But I did at least get to try the Restorative conditioner which my hair ilkes. So I will pick up a bottle of that when my stash gets smaller.
Doing a rollerset for a wedding. I hope it comes out nice.
I will try to take pictures before the style gets to old. Then it is going back into twists.
