Photo Journal of Hair Progress 2008-2010

[simplyconfident]

I started my HHJ in January 2008 with healthy neck length hair. Through my journey I have had a few set backs due to bandwagons and far too frequent trims.

I took the looooong way to APL but I'm so glad to finally be here. I'm sure that if I would have stuck with my reggi and only did 3 trims per year I would have been APL in 2009. My current length is 23 inches (I measure from my hairline. My next goal is 26 inches by January 2011 which would be BSL.

Thanx LHCF for all the tips trough the years!!!!! I guess all that lurking paid off.

***There are a ton of products listed becasue I'm trying to use up my stash. I use the products listed above at various times as needed. This is pretty much my regular technique: if time allows I'll prepoo for at least an hour,shampoo and DC weekley, moisturize daily, relax every 10+ weeks w/ Mizani Butter Blends at the salon, airdry 80% of the time, only have my hair flat ironed at the salon becasue I'm too lazy and never more than twice a month, cowash between washes as needed, stay motivated, and try to stay off bandwagons. The styles I rock the majority of the time are rollersets, buns, and braidouts. All the photos of my hair flat ironed were done by a stylist....I'm no magician, lol.

Thank you ladies!!!! I've had a tone of inspiration/hair porn to get me through the years so I figured I would pay it forward.

Your hair grows fast. Please try to stay clear of trims. Look whose talking. I can't wait until next month for a trim. I talked to my stylist yesterday, telling her I want to cut into a bob, she said, maybe in a few months, hair too short. Dang it is nape or neck length. Smile
