Good Morning,
My wonderful friend gave me another touch-up at 15 weeks post relaxer last night. She used ORS No Lye Relaxer. She did a wonderful job!!! Even though my new growth was a tangled mess. She had such a hard time untangling to but the relaxer on the roots, but she got through it. She told me though, that she will never do my hair again if I continue to let my new growth tangle like that. My hair had seriously started to matt. I'm not sure if it's due to me stretching for so long or what. I do admit though that after a certain amount of weeks I am afraid to comb my new growth. I am open to suggestions of how to combat this problem.
My friend is so funny, she kept saying "Girl, do you see how long your hair has gotten!" She was so amazed, but after that she did say that she was going to have to trim it because the ends were a little raggedy. She also went on to say that she's never seen my hair this healthy and to continue doing what I've been doing aside from allowing my new growth to become a tangled mess.
So, she trimmed about an inch or so, with that said I did not achieve the length that I was aiming for (APL). But it does look like I achieved health and a little thickness. I'd rather have healthy hair any day over length.
I am slowly inching towards Armpit Length and am hoping that I can make it there by December. For the next 3-4 months, I'm going to continue focus on keeping a moisture/protein balance, eathing healthy, and getting my edges to grow in.
I am also going to strive to be more consistent with taking my multivitamins and other supplements. I am awaiting my puritan pride order of Biotin and B50Complex. I also purchased B-5 from Whole Foods. I will also be more consistent with drinking at least 2-4 ounces of freshly juiced carrots, celery and a little bit of apple. I will continue to take a tablespoon of Flaxseed/Borage/Fish Oil (been doing this consistently for almost two weeks now).
Enough rambling, here are some pics. You may not be able to see a clear picture.
ETA: That I also used Boundless Tresses during this stretch. From the beginning of March until like the second week in May. I wasn't always consistent but I used about 2-3 times a week. I will continue to incorporate BT in my regimen.
Touch-up 6-8-07
Touch-up Front 6-8-07, My Friend pulled my hair away from my face this time instead of doing my usual side part
Here's a side by side view of my touch-up from February and the one from last night. The first one is 2-23-07 and the second one was yesterday
