Relaxer update!!! I got a relaxer today after 18weeks (4.5 months) and i'm so excited about the progress. 3inches in 4.5months. I went from the 9 to the 12. I'll take straight pics next time i wash, but i got it curled after the relaxer. I'm exactly 1in from WL (the 13 on the shirt). Can't wait!

Very pretty and great progress. What do you credit for excellent retention? bigbrowneyez
 
Well my new years resolution was to stry taking a multivitamin daily. Just a regular adult one a day vitamin. Additionally, I kept my hair cornrowed (no extensions) for 90% of the 4.5 months. I just redid them weekly one by one. So minimal manipulation because I didn't have to comb thru my hair in mass when I redid them. So I think the vitamins helped with the growth and the braids helped with the retention. I noticed in the first month of taking the vitamins, my new growth was more than the usual month. They aren't even hair vitamins. Maybe I was deficient is something lol. As far as products, I stuck with Joico moisture recovery shampoo and conditioner, Aubrey organic GBP for protein dc, Neutrogena Triple moisture leave in mixed with one and only Argan oil. And lots of praying! Lol

D.Lisha - I took an old t-shirt and drew lines with a black marker. :look: My intent was to buy a "real" length check shirt later. Well it's been 3 years.........

Thanks ladies! :)
Imma grab one of those for my next relaxer touch-up. I could use something like it to keep me motivated as this hair journey continues.

Just finished relaxing my hair after 13 week stretch. I feel like it isn't much longer but it filled in a little? I'm attaching this pic by phone which I've never done before so apologies in advance if it's huge.
