I am seriously beginning to think my hair won't get any longer, but I'm still so happy with my relaxer results!

"After" - Next morning still a little damp and I slept in two braids
I think you still have some of that good stuff from the 70's because girl you tripping HARD!!!!! I can see the growth AND retention. SL to BSL is a really big hump
so the progress seems so far away. Trust me, Ive been there and when you get there, your not even going to know how it happened. Keep on bunning girl, its working!

Saludable84 I think it's hard for me to see progress when I look at my own pics. I'm so critical!

@sunnieb your hair and progress are great. I feel like I have been at the same length for a year (and don't really bother with length pics anymore) so I was coming in to agree with your post then looked at your pics and thought..."what's this girl talking about?" I see certain length and health
Nix08
Yes, I always see the length gained when I relax. I think I mean overall length. I'm going to compare my photos from a year ago. I swear I'm the exact same length!
But, even if terminal length exists and I hit mine, I'm happy. This is more hair than I've ever had in my life!

@sunnieb
Don't even go there
I had heard of the midback stall early on in my research (although I don't hear much about it now) I'm convinced that it exists even if it's a visual illusion from the curve of the back or something that makes it 'seem' like length isn't being gained. OR, My other thought it that the old hair from pre hair journey just can't compete anymore and breaks off
Don't talk about no terminal length at BSL/MBL you'll send me into a depression....yes it's more hair than I've ever had too but I'm the greedy type
I want WL, NOW!!!ETA: Although I also think part of my problem is becoming a self trimmer....it's easy to do more often than if I have to arrange an appointment with a stylist that I watch like a hawk and instruct explicitly

I started prepping yesterday for my Thursday touch up. I conditioned with Mizani Renew Strength Fortifying Masque (discontinued) and then I protected my already relaxed hair with Chi Silk Infusion. Thursday morning I'll add another layer of Chi and conditioner. I'm going to trim 1-2 inches after my touch up. I'm so excited, I can't wait to end this 16 week stretch.

Ah maaaaan! I need to unsubscribe this thread!! You ladies results are making me want to forget my decision to transition! Next week is crunch week- was meant to relax just before my birthday this coming Thursday when I'll also be going on vacation, 30 weeks post. I've been stretching since March. Decided to transition last month but still wavering.... Eek!

sunnieb, your hair looks amazing. I think it's growing. The best length check is done on comparison photos and/or heat stretched hair.
GettingKinky bebezazueta sunnieb, gorgeous and perfection.

Thanks! Is it bad that I've never asked my stylist what she uses? I don't know if it's lye or no lye. I don't know what strength it is. She puts it on and rinses all in 10 minutes so I still have lots of texture.
I guess I'll ask her next time I go....
