2010 progress pics!!! .....plus your 2011 LENGTH predictions

January 2010:





December 2010:









I'm so proud of my hair!!! My 2011 length prediction: full BSL, grazing MBL. *going to look back thru thread for inspiration*
 
Congratulations on all the growth. I love this thread. It's like an early Christmas with all this hair porn rolling thru. Keep the pics coming! :lick:
 
So this time last year I was halfway through my 9 month transition, I had made it a little past APL ETA: I was 4 months post here. I got my hair flat ironed at the salon

In January I got some individual braids and kept those in until March

Since I knew I was about to BC, I stopped "caring" and this was the result, after taking the braids out. I knew I had to chop soon

I got curious...

In July I figured I'd get a trim. Well I blew it out before going to the salon and this is what I had to work with

So she got me right. My hair was all chopped up, she cut those nasty ends off and this was the result

I agree we are all just progressing our butts off. It's so encouraging to see.

Sorry for those that have to see/read this numerous times because I've posted it in several places.

ETA: I joined LHCF in 2010 and didn't have any goals, so I guess I did okay for my first year. I didn't start taking pics until months after joining.

I have goals for 2011 - BSL with a healthy nape and full edges (still have a few issues on the right side). I think I'm almost there with my length but the nape area needs some work. It's nowhere near the length of the rest of my hair. I had a setback earlier this year due to a stretch gone bad so I also want to grow hair back in those areas. I'll take MBL in 2011 it happens but doubt I'll be interested in going any length longer than that.

Nonsense, we :love: pictures!!!!
 
This is spectacular growth!! What's your reggie?

S-curl as a daily moisturizer (mmm juice :lick:), seal with hemp seed/coconut oil mix, bunning as a protective style. I wear my hair up all the time. Very little direct heat (only flat ironed 5 times this year) which I probably won't need to do anymore now that I've learned how to rollerset. Wash weekly with a moisturizing shampoo (kenra or nexxus are my faves), DC overnight with aforementioned oils mixed in with moisturizing conditioner. If my hair's feeling a bit mushy I do an Aphogee protein treatment, that's usually once every 4-6 weeks. I relaxed twice this year with Mizani butter blends for fine hair.
