Thank you! Fyne
Does anyone keep a hair journal? I got a cool app on my phone "Secret Diary" where I save all my progress pics, keep record of my ever changing/evolving regi, note when I try something new and the results, etc. I like that it's pw protected (my korean coworker likes to go thru my phone-- that's another story-- and I'd prob look crazy with all the photos of my hair lol).. and it's always handy!
Always nice to look back when I'm feeling like I'm not making *enough* progress for all the work I put into it...
Just thought I'd share...

No length check for me until MAYBE July. I'll be hiding all of June under a sew in that I'm getting installed on Tuesday. I can't wait!!

Last year I had one but I don't keep it up on a regular. I am taking more pictures now that I have figured out how to use my phone. I am using the lhcf blog for tracking my progess and thoughts now. It's the closest thing I have to a journal at the moment.

After I use a few more of these products up I need to tuck my hair away too. I haven't had a sew in since 1998
Maybe I will work my way up to it.

It's been while since I made an apppearance in here. I'm soo excited, my hair date is coming soon. Last year I cut my hair to less than an inch on May 29th and I think I've made significant growh (or at least for me). I wish I could show pictures cause I think I'm super close to shoulder length but I'm also in hide your hair challenge. So, I won't be able to show you ladies my results until then. Until then good luck to everyone else closing in on there date.

I'm checking Memorial Day weekend! I'm planning on taking my twists out a couple days early, dying my hair burgundy with some henna, and doing a blow out

ZeeontheGrow I do the same thing. My journal is a combo of pics on my cell and camera that I save to my laptop. Then I have a Word document that I started entitled "Healthy Hair Journey." I document my regimens, changes in regimen, products I've added, recipes for hair oil, ect and additional research and links to all things hair that I find beneficial, including when I find someone with a similar texture to mine or one that is on my same schedule of last relaxer, BC, etc.
It's very, very helpful for me to have all this documented. I'm so glad I learned on the hair boards in the beginning to DOCUMENT!

I wanna protective style for the summer but I never make it past a month..=/

There isn't anything wrong with a month. I think a month is good. Some people can keep protective styles in for longer and some people need to do a little break in between. So if you can do a month do so. Take it out for a bit and then do it again. I think you will be happy with those results as well.

Hi Ladies!!! It's been a while so I'm checking in! I have been cowashing every other day and keeping it stretched at night in braids.. I probably won't straighten until the end of June and there had better be some hair on my shoulders! lol
when I look at the pics of my current length(attached) I'm not sure that I'm going to make it, I am still working on trying to move past the fact that if my nape hadn't fallen out I would be there (I know you all are tired of hearing say the same thing over and over again!! ) I went to the doctor and I'm as healthy as an imperfect person can be! lol no deficiencies ... i know it's kind of crazy but that news was bitter sweet because it still leaves me with the question of why my nape falls out from time to time.. My next stop is the dermatologist. I'll keep you ladies posted in case there's someone out there suffering like me.
Is it just me or does my head look a little "chunky" from the back!!
