Length check from August 3rd to October 10. I used the mole on my back (upper left) as a marker for comparison
Wore weaves and braids for most of my adult life while trying to grow my hair out, hair grew but continued to break and thin out, and had a few setbacks form braiders and "weaveologists". Decided to wear my real hair out since July 5, 2013, and so far I don't think I'm doing bad
. Had ALOT of breakage initially, but I think I've finally learned to deal with my hair daily.
Since July 5th, I wash, condition, blowdry, then flatiron with my sedu 1 to 2 times a week (usually Wednesdays and Sundays). My goal is to relax every 6 weeks. I've done touch-ups twice since July 5: once I relaxed at 5 weeks and once at 7 weeks.
