Relaxed Hair journey post – I almost relaxed today… whew! (July 6, 2009)

I am 6 weeks post and trying to stretch 9 weeks this time. My big problem is that my last relaxer did not take and now the NG (new growth) is unbelievable. I was going to cave in. I prepared my stuff; combs, clips, relaxer kit, oils, shampoos, conditioner, etc. I was getting ready to put my […]

Hair journey post – Hair update… July 1st 2009

So far so good… Loving my progressI actually do not have any progress pics, sorry… I don’t even know how long my hair is (hoping for full SL) because I’ve decided not to use any heat until my next relaxer Aug 1st 2009.

Hair journey post – Seeing is believing (04/30/09)

I hadn’t seen any progress with my hair. I guess seeing is believing. I posted three pictures last week-end. Just doing that reminded me of how far I have come.Indeed, I did a BC last August because my hair shed excessively after my second pregnancy and it was no longer possible to hold on to the length. I […]
