So I relaxed last Wednesday 27th March at 16 weeks post (last relaxer Wednesday 5th December 2012).
I seem to definitely be BSL now
I used Motions Pink oil regular lye relaxer and used the half and half self relaxing method (applying to front half of head first then neutralising, rinsing, leaving conditioner on then on to the back half).
I haven't trimmed yet, I did after my last relaxer and in between so I may not this time as ends are not too uneven. I did cut around 3/4 inch off my fringe/ bangs right away as I think it looks better short.
I haven't washed yet- I'll probably do so later in the week or at the weekend but I'm enjoying my hair out since relaxing and now shooting for MBL by early 2014!!
I'm having trouble attaching pics so please bear with me
ETA. These pics are from December 2012. I'm mortified about the first one but can't remove it- I'm using my mobile. Apologies about the flesh...

March 2013!!:
My final texture shots, hair prepped into two halves.
My relaxing 'kit'
First half of hair done and covered in conditioner.
My wet hair after rinsing and conditioner.
Blowdried hair.
Flat ironed hair.
I wore the same shirt as in December for comparison although you may not really be able to see thr difference. I really need to buy or make a length check vest or t shirt.

More. I can see the ends look a little thin and straggly but looks better irl and I guess I will need to trim a little after all. The problem is that my nape is growing out (mostly shoulder length or just apl) and still hasnt caught up to the rest making the ends look thin. I can't wait until the day my nape is bsl, Will take pics after washing this week as I always prefer my hair one week post after washing.

Thanks ladies!! I'll have to get someone else to take better hair pics next touch up but I'm happy with my growth and want to work on healthy ends somehow without losing too much length.
I know my hair might look a lot more voluptuous with rollersetting and a hood dryer but I don't have the tools, time or patience right now
I'm going to see if I can stretch to July, August or even my birthday in October now- we'll see. I need to get my butt back to the relaxed bunning thread. I'll be checking in to see more reveals- Sunnieb can't wait to see your reveal!

One week post, washed on Thursday with Creme of Nature sulfate free moisture and shine shampoo with morrocan argan oil. Conditioned with Herbal Essences hello hydration.
My hair feels so soft and much better than straight after relaxing. Here are some pics taken after blowdrying and flat ironing:
I found it hard to get a good shot by myself but my hair is still shiny three days after washing and I didn't use any serum. I have used a tiny amount of herbal essences beautiful ends anti split ends cream throughout since and have been enjoying wearing it down since washing.

I'm still in the neutralizing step. I'm wide awake so I plan to dc and dry my hair and take pics.
I only relax 3x a year now, so I really like to relish the process.
