UPDATE: 17 months of haircare... PICS!!

[vestaluv1]

FOR THOSE WHO MAY NEED SOME INSPIRATION:
(17 months ago, I never thought I would be almost BSL...)

So... I haven't really stuck to my regimen for the last year or so. In fact, it's almost broken down completely and the only thing that I carried on doing was protective styling with wigs. I still moisturise and seal regulary (maybe 3/4 times a week) and minimise combing.

However, I am happy with my progress so far and plan on going back to my Ayurveda regimen... I think it really works.
I'm currently transitioning and have not had a relaxer since October 2008.
So here's my progress so far...

March 08

Oct 08 (straight after relaxer)

August 09 (Flat iron)

March 08 v. August 09

I'm trying to work on the thickness as well as the length. I'm hoping that as my relaxer grows out I'll get my thickness back, and I'm planning on a trim soon too.
