sunnieb Thanks! What happened when you trimmed your hair?

lilpooky - I got in a rush and cut it uneven the firsttime. I tried to fix it twice, but only made it worse! I'll trim again when I'm around 8 weeks post.

I posted pics upthread.

Ahhh.... I may have made it.... I'll let you guys decide... Pictures are of my air dried hair without any products. My wet hair looks like I made it though..

(oh I made a video of my self relaxing process... just incase you have 13 minutes of youtube time to kill http://youtu.be/R5bequZZG24 )

My last relaxer of the year :)!!!! Please excuse the boobage. I cut off an inch, which means I'm not at BSL, but I'm choosing health over length, so it's fine.

I'm trying to decide if I want to relax today or just flat iron for eoty reveal pics. I relaxed a month ago but it didn't take in some places. Should I do a corrective or just flat iron?

Just flat iron... Do you need a corrective? Even if you do, can you wait till 8/9 weeks to do it?

Yes ma'am I decided just do a protein treatment and flat iron today. i'll relax in a week or so since my roots will still be flat ironed and easier to get through.

:grin: beauti, I doubt my reveal be anything fabulous but you sure put a smile on my face with your compliment. Thank you for that. :blowkiss:
 
Sorry, haven't been on here in the last month. Anyhoos without further ado- my progress from my 11th sept relaxer to my 30th dec relaxer.
Not much of a difference because my hairdresser turned a trim into a cut- he took off at least 2-3 inches with his scissor-happiness :(. Bright side- my hair is much more even, but I don't think I'll be trimming for at least 6 months, and even then I'll do it myself!

i see some nice growth and the trim helped. i wouldn't wait 6 months. i would do light dustings, but don't wait 6 months. you will be cutting off more progress.
 
Self-pic so forgive the poor quality. My hair is roughly at the 9/10 inch mark. I was leaning a bit too far back so that pic is a tad bit misleading.

Here is mine. I got a relaxer last Wednesday by dontspeakdefeat.The only thing I will be adjusting is this experimenting with new stuff (color) and my diet. I got some color in the front and I now have some breakage :ohwell:. I also had a terrible flat ironing experience. I will cut it off as I go but I could not part with it this time. I must up my water and take my vits. I also plan on eating better :yep:

holy crap its official YOU are my hair idol!
:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy

is it weird that i got a tingly feeling in my stomach while looking at your pics :look:
 
UGQueen - that is super sweet and really made me smile. My hair has been giving me the blues lately. My front is thin from a setback in 2008! I left some micros in for too long and then just ripped the matted tangles out. For some reason it just can't get right lol. I dont know if it will so i will be working on thickness for 2013. But again, thank you. Here is my updates pic from two days ago that I have been meaning to post. Excuse the background and clothes I'm in a hotel.
