NJoy's 1st Yr Progress in Pics

NJoy

Here I grow again!
I posted this over at BHM because I just don't post over there as much as here but, might as well share over here too. Here's my story in pics.

Njoy!

First month: Newbie just learning about hair care. I started with a freshly layered cut. Obvious newbie trying to figure out how to take pics. Dates are 1/2, 2/2, 3/2 & 3/19.



Main protective style


Still not great with taking pics but, ah well...


Thru mid June


End of June (learned to stop using the darn flash)


I think this may have been the first set of pics posted on bhm. Tried to give input and caught grief. mmhmm.


I think I'm showing 3 months of ng here. I did a thread with a ton of these ng pics. I'm 4b/a


Claimed MBL


Mid Nov Sneak Peek


Year End 2010 Progress (Yeah, my fingers in the middle pic look retarded but, that's me trying to grab a section but the camera snapped. And the last pic, I fanned my hair so that the layers are visible)



Onward to 2011 goal of HL. Hoping to reach this by June but, I'm also looking to trim away some layers so, we'll see.

Here I am in my winter PS
Another ps. Motown Tress LG-61, 2-in1 1/2 wig/ponytail


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

My reggie is in my blog here. At present, I'm 23 wks post and back in my ps'g. I may or may not texlax next week at 6 months post. Still trying to decide.

Thanks for all the compliments and kind words. Y'all know me. And you know I don't mind sharing any info that I may have. We're all in this together. Wishing us all a bountiful 2011!

thanks, Ladies. You have all been amazing with your support. I love you all like fam! :yep:

That's tremendous progress, Njoy! What is your goal length?

My goal length is HL. And I'm not really sure if it needs to be full hl either. Maybe top of my hipbone is enough and then maintain. :yep:

I'm putting more focus on fitness in 2011. Those pics are humbling. VERY humbling. :look:

Njoy,

Your bagged bun.....is your natural hair bagged and you have a phony pony on top?

Yes. Or, as in my pic, I have a scarf wrapped around the baggied bun. I wore it both ways while keeping my ends protected.

love it!
I'm lowkey jealous Njoy. what do u mean "caught grief" at bhm?

Ah, it's nothing now. Basically, I was a lurker over there and wearing a "newbie" badge. There was a thread about growth aides that I naively thought I could share my opinions on sulfur working for me. TRYING to be helpful. :rolleyes: But there was already a few discrediting growth aides and one stepped up to tell me that my growth rate was the normal 1/2" per month and said it was the same as hers. I posted pics (oh, cuz ya know I was taking pics like crazy early in my hhj) to show my actual comparisons. And truly, she's entitled to her opinions the same way that I am. But she rose up with this "I'm 3rd tier here and I'll say what I want". Huh?! :nono:

I backed down because I didn't want to start anything ugly as a newbie. And over what? I just said I'd be back later in the year and we'll see how we compare. I've been back since and it's all good.

In any case, I know that she's here too so, I'm really enjoying answering your question. All in good fun tho. She's actually a sweetie. She spanked a newbie. But, she who spanks last, spanks best. She should'a axed sumbody *snaps* :lachen:
