Hey ladies!! So I finally permed after a year long stretch and I'm really excited so far... I'm currently under the dryer so I can't take pics but I wanted to keep you updated and let you know I will most definitely be taking pictures when I'm all done!

BronxJazzy, pookaloo83, NikkiQ I like your hair setting! ALOT!
pookaloo83 I think these curls came out nice and are pretty the way they fall. Will you do an updo instead?
bludaydreamer thanks for checking in to LHCF! I was going to ask if you were in boot camp looking at those bunker beds Thank You for your service in the military. I think it takes courage and real gusto to perform any one of the many tasks members of our military carry out. Kudos to you! Please let us know how are you doing there and here with happy hair growing
buddhas_mom WOW! Amazing hair growth! What has worked in your reggie these past 6 months?
sajjy nice job! really it is very natural looking! Please post pics when the ONYC hair arrives

NikkiQ. They didn't?! Well, you know what? I have a penchant for crazy hair and I've had to deal with it all through high school. But, I learned that people are only reacting to different. When they get used to your hair out they'll shut up. Unless you think you can keep your hair in a puff for however long its better to let it out now. you putting your hair un a puff told them that they were right about the scruffiness. You need to be like "No, I'm wearing my hair like this because I like it like this, I am not growing my hair out to keep it permanently slicked back". People will always hold their opinions but once they realise their opinions don't matter they'll stop voicing them. HTH!

LOVING all the hair pics we're getting in here! Definitely the most lively challenge ever! I'm DCing at the moment, gonna go workout in a bit and then wash my hair out and thread it. It was feeling a little tangly, think maybe i had protein overload cause the CON Argan Oil condish does have some protein in it so in future i'll know to use it sparingly if i don't want protein overload. I still like it a lot tho.

livinthevida said:@EasypeaZee what did you put in your hair for the setting? Very pretty results!
I do believe it was mousse. I went to the salon because after my year stretch I was too scared to self relax. My hair feels very crunchy though and I can't wait until I get home to Moisturize and scarf it up

Thank you! I've changed a lot in the past 6 months. I started working out regularly, drinking more water and straightening my hair less often. I do a lot more wash and gos. I also moved to Mississippi from Georgia. The water quality for hair purposes only (the taste is awful) seems to be better here. My hair likes Mississippi water. And just leaving my hair alone, since I don't have time to pay attention to it, have all helped with my growth. The products in my reggie haven't changed.

I agree with all of this. But I really do think its the bolded. I don't think most people are responding personally. People have big mouths. Yes that's a fault
But they are only noticing something different.It is aggravating now but next time you will be ready. And as you
hold to your guns they won't say anything. Eventually they won't even notice.

Re: QTR1 Length Check
bludaydreamer
How long have you been in AFGH? If not long consider rinsing your hair with the bottled water, if you haven't been doing that already. It was so tedious, but I believe it helped my hair! The amount of chlorine in our water scared the mess out of me, however I used it until I got to my final rinse every time I washed. Then I grabbed a case of water and just rinsed until I was comfortable. Although you showed tent pictures, which makes me think you're on your way out?! (I could be wrong). I worked insane hours, but they were repetitive which allowed me to have a great DC schedule! Find a schedule for yourself if you can to make sure your hair is cared for while there.
Either way check out Sister Soldier. They'll provide a few great products for deployed Soldiers (Troops/Airmen/Marines/Sailors). Please pass it on to your fellow ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ . While I was there I did everything in my power to keep my hair straight while I tried to transition. It was tough, but I managed, and the Sister Soldier project provided a wonderful box of goodies to help! If you need anything (hair care wise) feel free to PM me and I'll try and help where I can!
Stay Safe!
