Hi LHCF I am back >> 
I missed you guys. I been gone for almost 2 years and I am back with a new mission to fully transaction to be fully telaxed and at bra-strap in 2 years. I know I know I should be at bra-strap by now right, wrong.
I joined this forum back in 2004 and rode out until 2007.
1st picture, Dec 2004.
In 2007 I started to waver.....This is what happens when you fall off the wagon. I got my routine down, but I slacked on changing it up and conditioned washes. I relied a lot on wigs and got a little lazy with dealing with my hair. My main draw back was the wigs. The wigs became a clutch. I got so busy. Bought a house, got married, got a promotion, working on masters... life happened..
However, I did manage to keep the length I gained but lost the health. In December 2008 I started to nurse my hair back to health.
I am the one in the middle.Well this is my hair now as of April 2009. As you see it is not damaged or anything, but there is one thing wrong with the picture...
I am not at bra-strap. I am very close and I would fully be at bra-strap if I permed straight, but I don't do bone straight... . I stopped that 4 years ago, but messed up and went to a hair dresser ,1 years ago,that made my hair bone straight....
I told her no bone straight lucky for her it did come out very nice... but left me starting all over again. 
Very long story short.. WISH ME LUCK.
