Wow! Suddenly I'm VERY conscious of my rolls. That does it! My 2011 pics will be with a P90X body. :lol:

Thanks for the kind words.

You'll like P90X!! It's hard work but you see results fast!!!

And great hair growth...I'm in the 2011 Sulfur Challenge cause I was so inspired by your growth!!

I couldn't agree more! A lot of the things that are second nature to us or just basic maintenance for us are considered "high maintenance" for other women. I've definitely seen that "glazed" look or even sheer disappointment when someone asks what I did to get my hair a certain way and I tell them and they simply say... that's too much work for me or that won't work for my hair because is too nappy. .. oh well.. i just keep it movin'! lol
That was not something that I wanted to do early on because I was still trying to understand it for myself and, since I made my own mix, I was basically using myself as a guinea pig. About halfway thru tho, my mom started asking me questions and I shared what I was doing but wasn't comfortable sharing the information on my sulfur mix. This is because she was trying to grow her hair back from chemo and I just have no idea how the sulfur or ANYTHING would do. I mean, she has medical issues that keep her from getting certain OTC meds so, I'm just not going to chance it. I did turn her on to scalp massages and jbco to thicken what she has coming in.

I do have friends and family asking me what I'm using now. But, I still get eyes that glaze over when I mention any concoctions. People don't really want to do the work. They want an instant fix. I dedicated a year to get what I have. I'll stick to encouraging ladies on the boards. At least I know we're all willing to put in the time and work. I've learned that you just can't go talking sulfur and some of the other things we discuss here IRL. C'mon son! :lol:

Your pictures are so inspirational and within 1 year!!! You have inspired me to put the scissors down and I added sublimed sulphur to my regimen.

Your hair growth really is amazing! Thanks for sharing!!!

I posted this over at BHM because I just don't post over there as much as here but, might as well share over here too. Here's my story in pics.

Njoy!

First month: Newbie just learning about hair care. I started with a freshly layered cut. Obvious newbie trying to figure out how to take pics. Dates are 1/2, 2/2, 3/2 & 3/19.



Main protective style


Still not great with taking pics but, ah well...


Thru mid June


End of June (learned to stop using the darn flash)


I think this may have been the first set of pics posted on bhm. Tried to give input and caught grief. mmhmm.


I think I'm showing 3 months of ng here. I did a thread with a ton of these ng pics. I'm 4b/a


Claimed MBL


Mid Nov Sneak Peek


Year End 2010 Progress (Yeah, my fingers in the middle pic look retarded but, that's me trying to grab a section but the camera snapped. And the last pic, I fanned my hair so that the layers are visible)



Onward to 2011 goal of HL. Hoping to reach this by June but, I'm also looking to trim away some layers so, we'll see.

Here I am in my winter PS
Another ps. Motown Tress LG-61, 2-in1 1/2 wig/ponytail


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

My reggie is in my blog here. At present, I'm 23 wks post and back in my ps'g. I may or may not texlax next week at 6 months post. Still trying to decide.

Thanks for all the compliments and kind words. Y'all know me. And you know I don't mind sharing any info that I may have. We're all in this together. Wishing us all a bountiful 2011!

Njoy

Don't know who tagged me but thanks. I really appreciated coming back and re-reading all the wonderful support shared and the renewed motivation to continue my HH practices. Especially after the rough start that I had this year with my mom and all. I'm still rolling towards HL with a new declaration of a TL goal. (kinda rethinking that one tho. :look:)

Anywho, thanks again for the continued support and all the love and prayers received for my family over the past few months... HHG ladies! Let's do 2011! Shall we? :lick:
