I just went back to look at the pics again... I have really lost weight. Man. It's crazy because I look so fat in those pics from last year, but I didn't feel at the time that I looked as big as I actually did. I was in like a 24/26 Now I'm in a size 10. I still have a bit to lose, but man oh man am I slimmer than before.
24/26???? Wow, what did you do to get down to a size 10?

My goodness, I forgot to mention that I started taking Biotin with a B-complex vitamin during the second year. I don't know how much of a difference that made. I tried to really protect my hair 24/7... but after I texlaxed I had increased problems with splits that made me do multiple trims. Plus I hacked off a couple of inches on my first nappiversary.
I don't think my hair grows faster than anyone elses... I think I've just been about protective styling. My own family hadn't seen my hair out in YEARS.
I did the BC in late August of 2006. My relaxed hair was between shoulder and APL at that time, and I cut it down to a TWA. Here is a pic from a few months after that, around Christmas.
The other pic is my flat ironed hair on Christmas this year. I'm not sure if it's MBL or if it's WL... My waist is hard to see as clearly in the pic, as I'm going on 6 months preggo. Either way, it's pretty long
My goal length is classic length. I don't know if I'll make it or not... but I'll get as close as I can.
And yes, I know, I'm fat. No need to tell me about it. I'm working on it.
I hadn't shown my real hair to my family in years. It was fun hearing the comments. My fave: "Hey, you have hair! And it's actually REALLLLLY LONG!"
Do you still texlax and how often do you use direct heat? tia
