O Lawd! I shouldn't be allowed near a laptop. I'm posting comparison pics and I'm gonna hurry up because it's taken me way too long to get this far!
#1 11/11. 4 months after joining LCHF
#2 02/12. good condition after consistent DC'ing, baggying and ps'ing
#3 02/12.
#4 10/12. After 4-5" trim. Was grazing hip but had to get rid of the fried ends
#5 01/13. Starting pic for 2013. Heading back toward HP, TBL and (maybe) classic
Some changes for 2013
No elastics for my bun or ponytails. I think they may cause mid-strand breaks and I seem to have a lot of them
DC'ing weekly with Chi Deep Brilliance conditioner. My hair is loving protein right now
Flat ironing every other week. As much as I love my curls, my strands are too fine. I can't keep up with the SSK.
Baggying nightly and seal ends with vaseline. I'm trying heavy duty sealing because my hair laughs off creams and oils.
Not gonna lie -- I wish I were further along in my hair journey; wish my hair was thicker but you know what? it is what it is. I neglected it for 6 months and my retention shows.
It's all about re-committing to a consistent basic routine of moisturizing, sealing and trimming.
Here's to HL in 2013!
