I'm 20 weeks post already! Time flies! I'm wearing a flexirod set at the moment. I plan on keeping it in for at least 3 days and then redo.

I get mine from oilsbynature.com it's the cheapest I've found and 5lbs will last you a while even if you give some of it away, hth.
I'll be 11 months post on the 25th. I have never gone this long without a touchup. Keep up the good work ladies!

I need to figure out a way to combat frizziness at the roots after I plait my hair on wash days. Not really feeling my braidouts on day 1, but day 2 and beyond gets better.

I will be 2 years post on Monday and I only have about 1-2 inches left on the upper layers. the bottom layers are all natural. i am almost there yet. by June (when I expect to be BSL on my bottom layer) i will make sure I am all natural by cutting whatever is left.

My last relaxer was August 09 too! I just started trimming my ends... most for split ends and to keep things even.
Good luck!

ITA! As long as I keep my hair braided and I don't have to manipulate my hair, then it really isn't that difficult. A few months back, I was doing braid-out/pin ups and even that was too much manipulation; I experienced a bit of breakage. Now, keping my hair braided is seeing me through growing out my bone straight relaxed ends.

I get my shea butter from the beauty supply store. I was surprise that its 100% shea butter which is rare when I go to other beauty stores. Have you checked a store near you?

I'm still here. 10 1/2 months post. I took out my 5lb tub of relaxer and got ready to head out to the salon but had a change of heart at the last minute. I've been having an awful time getting my hair to look decent because I don't have TIME to do anything to it... I've been doing textured looks for the past couple of weeks but will be going back to my trusted rollerset and flat iron on Saturday afternoon. Can't be looking a HAM at church over the next week.

I had some all along and didn't even know it. A big tub too.
I don't know how I missed it. But we don't have beauty supply stores here.

Almost 7 weeks and I chopped off a half inch...again! I am fighting the urge to cut this whole situation off and wig it. I am still at neck length though with about an inch of new growth.Getting closer to being natural one 1/2 inch chop a month at a time!

18 months post this month! I straightened my hair last week after my usual three month break and I'm really close to full mid back!
I also did a tiiiiny chop *like...lol I grabbed a small chunk of hair and snipped* If I cut all my relaxed ends off I will be collar bone length stretch, I'm not ready for that short lol. So I'm going to keep on growing

I'm still hanging in there. I was exactly 1 year post on valentines day this year. Haven't counted the weeks since then

I know I'm super late but...
right now I'm sitting at 37 weeks post and I just did a mini chop about two weeks ago putting my right at APL. I was bunning for about the first 6 months and then switched to wigs/half wigs in January. I'm trying to keep it covered as much as possible to avoid the temptation to chop. I think I have about 4inches of new growth right now but I don't feel like that's enough to chop. I'm trying to make it until November which would put me at 18 month post. I may even go longer depending on my growth at that point. I'm just trying to focus on moisture to keep the demarcation line from breaking.
