@NikkiQ Ya, get prepared for him to get annoyed with taking pics (maybe I just over did it)....I ended up having to have a negotiation with DH to ensure 2 pics a months without any eye rolls or unnecessary body language:nono:

I'm too impatient to negotiate. I'll just bully him. "If you don't take my pics, you don't eat b/c I'm not cooking" :lachen::lachen::lachen: JK!
 
I really need to start keeping a hair journal period. I bought a little notebook from Michael's (it was $1 and super cute so why not?) but haven't had a chance to start writing down my boring little hair routines.
 
I'm almost tempted to take my Celies out and really enjoy my own hair for a bit,but idk. The ease of just getting up in the morning and throwing on a wig has me spoiled. Right now, all I can do with my hair is a wash n go and a puff. Every other style ends up looking a mess anyway.
 
Co washed today....I usually don't do a pre poo (since I've started dry dc'ing) but from now on when I co wash I'm going to add AVG to my roots and hair before getting in the shower:yep:
 
Hair journals are great... I think I'll start snapping pics and printing them to tape in my journal. I love online journaling but sometimes it makes it easier to just look in a notebook.

They get on my last nerve they know I have a whole album that I keep of my growth stretched and with wet pic in the shower that I get my daughter to take. well I am trying to take my mind off of the pic by buying all kinds hair things like I just got this comb that has this clip attach to it. and also scrunches for my ponytails which I don't know when I will wear them because I am really loving my 3 plaits tuck in the back with the comb.

idk so does my trims that can take hours and measures it for me... We haven't gotten to cosistent pics yet... It was kinda like he didn't see the point but we gotta give the guys credit for trying. We're all lucky that they attempt to cooperate :)
I'm thinking of getting a length check shirt and just timing it but 17 bucks will be the most I've ever spent on a shirt (I know I'm cheap lol)

My Goal By December 31, 2013.
Waist Length Unstretched. If I'm Not Able To Reach Waist Length I Will Settle For Mid-Back:yep:.

Currently I'm Shoulder Length (Natural) Unstretch. Think I Will Also Start A Hair Journal (What A Good Way to Keep Track Of Progress).

You are so welcome..... This is how I keep my own count and I also measure my hair with a measuring tape to see how many inches of hair I have on my head and I do it in different places just so that I can see if it is all growing. and it is always the same num. last time I check I had 10" of hair on my head and I came down to num 6 on my shirt but I am starting to check my length the way kimmay did hers in the front because I can pull that myself and just have someone take the pic and plus to me I can see more of the growth.

unstretched so that means you have more hair on your head then you think LOL good for you
 
I'm thinking on Wednesday morning, I may take out my Celies and rock a braid out banana clip contraption since I know it'll look ridiculous but who cares. Thursday do a puff. Friday...wash n go.
 
Ladies today I had a hair talk w/one of the ladies on here that I consider a true hair mentor. I've decided to return to what I know really works for my hair - texlaxing. So that means that my true length right now is the new growth I've accumulated since April.

Basically that means I would have to go from 3 inches of new growth to WL by 2013. Not sure if it that's realistic but I'm going to try my darndest. By the end of the year, I'm going to chop my curly perm ends & get my 1st relaxer. I'm planning to do better this hair journey as far as documenting with pics so I won't post any pics until I chop/relax.

I had to be a grown-up (lol) & make an important decision about my hair. I like my faux natural curly perm but at the end of the day I'm still not 100% pleased with the health of my hair. The only time I've been 100% satisfied is when I was texlaxed and following/using the Wanakee routine/product line.

If I had've stayed with what I knew worked for my hair instead of trying a million other things then I would've reached my hair goals a long time ago.

It's rough thinking about starting from where my new growth is but I try to focus on the end result - my long, healthy hair!

Thanks so much for the encouragement.

Doing a henna/indigo treatment later today. Hair is growing slowly but surely. I hope to be APL by October-December.
 
^^^^^^:lovedrool:That Color Is Too Die For. Now I'm Going To Be E-Stalking You:lol:.

I've Been Thinking (Since Last Night) How Long Will It Take Me To Reach Waist Length?
Can A Natural Reach That Length Without Stretching?
:look:

Can I ask why you are going to chop??? if you have a jeri curl, right? and you want to go to perm now, right? you don't have to chop your hair off. only if you were going from perm hair to jeri curl hair you would have to chop.... now I am old school and it has been long long time since I was in school so if I am wrong today please let me know... but I don't want you to lose your hair for nothing...
