Thank you ladies... I do the rollerset curls as my no heat go-to style and its so easy to maintain
I have learned to find a comfortable way to sleep with those foam rods tied down to my head 
--- Reduces my morning prep time significantly!Thank you! I used Silk Elements for the "reddish brown" color and the "dark brown" was a loreal color (from Sally's)... not quite as dark as I'd expected or its fading... I plan to redo the Silk Elements (chocolate brown- I think it is), but I can't find it in Sally's. I will have to order on Sally's online.
Oh my goodness! You have a completely different head of hair! Beautiful progress, keep up the great work

Beautiful hair! Your journey has been amazing. Congrats! 
Question, you said you dyed your hair dark brown around October. What brand did you use and have you noticed any damaging effects? I also want to dye my hair dark brown, but I've pretty much been scared off into not doing so.

Hi Ezina,
Yes, I dyed my hair in October with L'oreal->
I originally went to Sally's for Silk Elements Coco Brown...
I love Silk Elements hair color kits and have used their reddish brown color a couple of times before (it can be used on natural or relaxed hair). Sally's didn't the Coco Brown it in stock and the lady told me I would have to order online
Since I didn't have the patience to wait, I used L'oreal with the lowest developer. I plan to go over the color again with Silk Elements Coco Brown in the near future... hope this info helps... typically going dark is safer than trying to lighten your hair; so you should be fine Thank you!!
Well, I had to come up with a diagnosis and I didn't have any other clinical term 
Now we may have a new term "Girl you know I'm suffering from HGG!!
"

I have been on this journey since June 2008.. I transitioned, before I knew what that was (and had decided to do so, out of laziness) this last time, I held on for two years, before relaxing in June of this year... Initially, I wanted to be full APL, then I changed to full BSL and now, I really, really, really, want to be MBLI have developed and diagnosed myself with HAIR GROWTH GREED or HGG
.
In all seriousness, I do intend for MBL to be my final destination (that is unless, I find that WL will better suit me)But right now, I find that length may be a little much to manage... This is just how I feel right now...
Well, on to the pics...
Here's where I started
JUNE 2008
Straightened JUNE 2008
AUGUST 2008
NOVEMBER 2009 Airdried texture... Someone had asked me to document my texture...
JUNE 2010 - I RELAXED - even though I liked my hair ^^^
I have since dyed my hair dark brown (October 2010)... Now I have a better phone / camera!!!
These were taken yesterday... I don't know how to add the date to my pics on the Motorola Cliq, so if you know how, please tell me
I am currently stretching. My last relaxer was Sept. 18. I am going to try to make it to Christmas or my BDAY Jan 14th
Thank you for looking...
Girl don't make me hurt you! I thought you were transitioning!
You traitor!

Hey Pookie!
I was for 2 years... then I relaxed
and so far, I am happy... (by the way... I told you when i did it... you must not have been paying me no mind!)The tangles as a natural for me were becoming destructive... and I don't need counterproductive... right now my goal is growth and retention...
Be happy for me

Aren't curl rods the best.
Dont forget to try the hemp oil.
