Spinny: The Relaxer "Reveal" Thread!!!!

I can't take self-pics worth nothing. It's all hazy looking but here is my TU and trim result. I didn't length check before my TU but I cut 1inch so I assume I was around the 12inch mark on the length check tee before my trim. As you can see, I need to trim up a bit more to better the appearance of my hemline.

I relaxed yesterday after stretching for 17 wks. I had no one to take my pics so this is the best i could do.

xu93texas,

That is some serious growth retention girl in just under four months!!! Are you a fast grower? I love your thickness, I know you say your strands are fine but the density is awesome! I got the short end of the stick; fine and low density and slow growth:-(. Keep it growing.

KiWiStyle, Thanks!
I don't think I'm a fast grower. My goal has always been to grow from EL to full SL in 12 months or less. So far, I've grown 4 inches from the initial cut last July and I have 1.5-2 inches left before reaching my goal of full SL. I guess that would be 6 inches in a year. That's average growth. I'm grateful for the length I've retained.
 
Sorry ladies, this is the only way I knew how to post pictures, I'll figure it out another time. So finally after a really busy weekend, i'm here to post my post relaxer progress pictures and though my hair isn't as luscious as most heads here it's a significant progress for me. My ends are very thin because my nape hair is much shorter than the rest of my hair (previous relaxer damage). I won't trim to even out until my nape hair reaches APL, it's not a big deal because I don't wear my hair out at all. My nape is just now showing signs of thickening and growth during this last stretch so i'm pleased. The 1st picture is straight from the salon, the 2nd & 3rd are after I poo'd and wet wrapped, the 4th photo is the same night of my relaxer, I pincurled it for the night and the last photo is my last length check in December, my hair seems fuller back then but it really isn't . My hair has thickened up a lot in this last stretch. I wore a middle ponytail yesterday and it was swanggn', LOl! My goal for the year is APL, which is line 4 on my length check shirt. I think I can get there by next relaxer in July but I won't claim it until the end of the year when I should be full APL and my nape has grown significantly more.

Raspberry, Thank you. My hair is officially back in a bun until late July-early August. My left side is slightly thinner and shorter than my right side and the front of my hair is is as well so i'll be really stepping up my game in those areas as well as my nape.
 
KiWiStyle,
Simply beautiful, chica! I love the shine and body your curls have. You will be at APL in no time. It looks like you retained those 2 inches since last December. Grow on girl!:grin:
 
xu93texas,

Thanks lady!! As you know this hair thing is hard work but soo worth it. I am definitely motivated to step up my game even more than before. I can actually see the rain through the forest now...i'm very excited and pleased.
 
My results...I used the CON Aragan oil relaxer and it seems like it texlaxed my hair not sure if I'm feeling it. I just started my hair journey in April so I'm still learning the ropes... Beautiful hair ladies
