TWA Grow Out Challenge 2010

[makeupgirl]

I completely forgot. I've just got busy but here is an update. I've switched computers so I don't have a beginning pic to show but here is the updated pics.

I would like to join. I BCed on Sunday so I am less than a week in and I need the support. I am still deciding whether to grow my hair out naturally or to keep texturizing. Right now I am trying to finalize my reggie but I plan on DCing 2x a week for added moisture.

Pic is attached.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i wanna be part of this challenge. I think this is great, we can all be supportive of each other, and encourage each other.

The best part is there is no way to fail!

Right now my regimen is oh so simple. I co-wash daily or every other day with suave. I use giovanni direct leave in. I also deep condition with either LeKair Shea butter Cholesterol or AOHSR. I also use Kinky Curly which seems to get better as my hair gets longer. I do have shampoo- cant remember the last time i used it but, i have giovanni tea tree oil (i think), and come clean from kurly kinky.

Thats all i can think of now. Will add if i had more.

Oh also i big chopped in Aug after a 3 month transition. I chopped to a fade so...my official date is Aug 30.

I love, love, love your curls . Your hair is gorgeous!

Here are my update pics. Sorry these are so late. First one is where I started.

 

[Evallusion]

Late update:

The first pic is of my hair on March 26th (the last update).
The second pic was taken today July 7th, 2010. I'm almost 6 months post chop.

My hair is about 2-3 inches long...I think...I've stopped measuring...its annoying. I was obsessed with length in the beginning but now I am only concerned with moisture and styles.

 

[Sprinkl3s]

Oh you guys reminded me that I need to update. I will be back with pictures.
But first a question, do you ladies trim your ends. I only have one time since my BC in Sept last year. I don't know if I should trim again. My ends don't look bad and I don't want to cut my hair but I feel like everyone thinks it is healthy to trim your ends regularly.

Just joining the bandwagon after deciding to face the fact: I ain't gonna grow dreads, sigh.

So, here's what I'm working with:

Today is update day! I'm excited to see everyone's progress. I have weave installed that doesn't come out until Sat. so I'll update then. C'mon ladies show the hair porn!!!!

 

[OhSoOthentik]

These are from two or three weeks ago when I did my length check for my one year nappiversary.

I am stepping my game up with the sealing. I have been moisturizing my hair everyday with water, cfg gold, and sealing with coconut oil.

 

[DaR3alM3]

Checking in. I'm doing pretty good ladies! I've come to realize that certain products give me SSK's (single strand knots) when I stick to what I know AND moisturizing daily I don't get them. Any who... here's a pic.


Here I am at 61 weeks post relaxer and 38 weeks post BC.

 

[OhSoOthentik]

Very nice ladies....Keep it up. I am loving these puffs.

I joined this challenge after I bc'ed last September. I forgot about it,but wanted to do a small update. I am now full sl. It took a whole year to get here,as i was constantly timming throughout the past year. Yeah the bc is definitely not the final big trim like I htought it would be. My ends felt like crap for a while there,so i snipped.. That left me able to just maintain after that,and not have to worry about trimming frequently,and just keep it on an as needed basis. I take terrible hair pics,btw.

I don't know why these pics are so grainy. They don't look like like that on my phone.

This one is w/o flash. I told y'all I take the worst pics.. It takes forever to get a shot that's not too dark,not too bright,in the right light and all that. Maybe I just need to not take pics under my bathroom light??erplexed I dunno. I'll keep practicing taking better ones.

With flashperplexederplexedSuper grainy...

One of my fave flat twist styles. I think I have a better shot of thsi one on my phone. I'll look for it and upload it if it is a better one.

I do love my hair,I just hate taking hair pics.lol!

Slicked back pony w/o flash. I'll get better I promise! I'm taking tips too! lol!
