Peeing in my shower
I've updated my post to include my staples. I know that everyone's hair is different, but I figured that it might help someone.
My hair is dense with medium sized strands and the texture is coarse with some fine hair in the nape. I have low porosity hair.

A LOT has happened between then in now...I think these last two years (especially this year) is when I finally got to a point of truly knowing and understanding my hair. I've grasped the concept of less is more, what products give me the finishing results I like, and how not pulling my hair back as much in puffs and buns allowed my natural texture to recover in the front/top part of my hair. Just be gentle to your hair, use gentle ingredients, and be consistent. That's pretty much what I've changed these past two years and have seen the condition of my hair improve. I handle it less and use minimal products. My hair is flourishing at this stage FINALLY...it took some years in my natural journey to get here but I made. I'm currently BSL and looking to reach at least MBL stretched by end of 2014.

Your hair grew nicely and with thickness. That's some extremely good progress for 5 months.

these are the pictures of my progress over the past 3 years.
1st photo is my big chop July 2010 to 10 months later, May 2011
2nd photo is 10 months progression from May 2011 to February 2012
3rd photo is around April/May 2012 I believe
and last photo is my most recent length check September 2013, right now grazing BSL
What worked for me was mostly moisturizing, I have very fine strands and low density yet I love heavy butters and oil like castor, it helps keep my hair soft, moisturized and cooperative. I love my DC, HOT, and protective styles, I wore mainly finger coils when i first chopped, then two strand twists, pin up styles when my hair got longer and now I love my buns. Also every winter I do a 6 month ps kick, with either braids, havana twists, wigs or recently weaves. I have used henna in the past and i really loved it, but i got lazy and i think the protein dried my hair out so I had to cut the henna out last december. Can't believe I'm so close to BSL, never had hair this long in my life, looking forward to WL and beyond now!

Would you please share a tutorial on how you got your twistout ringlet all the way to the tips like the pic below?

Use this to glue the tracks to your hair. I only keep that in for a few days because it can be damaging.

abioni I just twist to about the last half inch of hair and then twirl the rest around my finger to make a spiral curl. When it dries the spirals are there. I twist with a gel or curly pudding over a leave in.

Yeah I only glue in for special occasions. I usually remove it then next day, or no more than 3 days later.
