[FONT=&quot]So I mostly lurk and never made a thread about my hair before, however yesterday was exactly one year since by BC so I thought I would post about my progress.

[FONT=&quot]I was natural for 18 years, until 2007 when I got my first Japanese thermal reconditioner. Prior to then, I flat ironed my hair several times a week which had resulted in heat damage & breakage, and I was never able to get beyond sl-apl in length. I continued getting the straighteners 2-3 times a year until my last one in January 2009. I stopped using heat in March 2009 and BCed on April 4, 2010 after 15 months of transitioning.

Thanks!
 
My goodness...is that stretched piece of hair near your waist?!?!? That is some AMAZING retention over the last year- great job!

How long was your hair stretched at your BC?

I think was somewhere between sl and apl stretched (in the back), I'm not really sure.
