Took the braids out on Friday

[carrie]

looks like I have a good 2.5" of new growth. I was really surprised that my usually hard to handle hair was pretty descent. Not alot of hair loss when I combed it. I pre-treated w/honey and olive oil then washed and conditioned with The Sleek and Smooth Pantene. I have it up in a ponytail. I used som Worlds of curls activator and some Hollywood castor oil. It actually looks pretty.

Now my challenge is not to lose 2.5" off the ends.

u go girl!!!, how long did u have them in?!
Its all about moisture and stregnth!

 

[carrie]

I really can't remember! About 5 months total. That only works out to .5" a month. Nothing spectacular, but my bad "spot" looks alot better.

congrats Carrie. I'm glad that you had a good experience taking ur braids out. When I took mine out I dealth with a tangled MESS but it turned out well after A LOT of conditioning and hours of work.

I'm wondering, did u fall in love with your natural hair? I always do but I made up my mind that I'm not going natural again, atleast not any time soon.

Tell me how your hair turns out.

SweetNic_JA, its funny, I like the unprocessed part of my hair, but I don't like the combination with the part that is relaxed. I can't see myself doing the big chop just yet either. I now that managing 2 textures would be hard for me.

I really am excited about going to the salon on Sat

Way to go, Carrie! Enjoy your 2.5 inches and don't you dare make that growth seem like a minor accomplishment!

Half an inch a month is excellent. You'll do just fine keeping it, I'm sure.
