Hello everyone, I LITERALLY cannot stop screaming with joy and excitement. 
Everytime I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror or feel my hair grazing my back, I can't help but scream and say, "thank you, Jesus!"
I'm so excited because I agreed with another LHCF poster earlier this week that I might reach BSL before Dec. 31, 2008 if I miraculously sprouted an inch of hair. Well, I got my relaxer Thursday evening and yes, miracles do come true! (I only waited two days to share the news because my camera wasn't working till today. I knew you all would chew me up and spit me out if I proclaimed this without pics!)
I was kinda touching BSL with the very tips of my ends in October, but I got them trimmed because I didn't like how the longest layer of my hair looked thin (even though it wasn't damaged). I was so mad at myself thinking that I created a setback, but in the end, I was blessed to gain that little trim back and then some. (I'm starting to notice a little trend - if I do a little trim, like a 1/4 inch or less, my hair seems to grow back faster and longer. I don't know). Look at the photos for proof.
-My first photo is my siggie, (Aug. 2, 2008) when I first joined LHCF.
-The second is Sept. 18 where I decided to trim cause I didn't like my longest layer.
-The third is after a trim on Oct. 12.
-Next is my new BSL hair.
-Finally, this is where I was when I started my haircare journey in January 2006 (but this was taken around March 2006). I was neck length, fried, died and laid to the side!
I'm convinced I could have reached this goal sooner if I knew about LHCF. Thanks so much to all of you at the LHCF for all of your support, genorisity with ideas and encouragement!
