@Daina Yeah but if your hair is long that's going to be hard. Shoot if it aint that much money why do all that work, be pampered! Do whatever works, is easier, and enjoy yourself whatever that ends up being. Your hair, your journey.
That's why you see women w really long hair at the dominican salon every week. You don't have to get a blowout. You could get a deep conditioner and a roller set. You gotta find what works.

Can you PM me pictures, please?
I know we feel the same way about hair, and I'm considering trying a wig. TIA.

Thanks @Caramel74, I was thinking about doing that. And actually all they would have to do is rinse out my deep conditioner and roller set. When I went to a dominican salon regularly I always washed and deep conditioned myself. Even at regular salons I don't think they generously use product. I like every strand coated and loved! Lol...maybe once the weather is cooler I will see how I like letting them do it. I just worry about them being too rough with my hair.

Awww!!! You'll get there! You're doing sooo well thus far. Chile, rollersetting MBL hair is a beast...Take your time and be easy on yourself! It takes practice, practice, practice!

I need to post a picture! I'm getting close. BRB!
3 years since my final relaxer length check. I got a nice trim. My hair is now back curly. No heat damage! Hopefully I can reach WL next year. I have a lazy wash and go regimen.

Hi Ladies! Been awhile since I checked in here but, I'm still on my way to WL sometime in 2017. Currently, I'm BSL and I plan on protective styling until I reach WL which is around 4-5 inches away.

I'm almost 27 months in. I'm still on autopilot wearing braidout ponytails all the time. I attempted a braidout the other day and I didn't like it. It was stiff with no swing or bounce. I hope I'm not making a mistake with this transistion.

I sure will. I made a short bob u-part today and I'll snap a pic when I put in on in the morning for work. It's still far too hot for the other one which reaches my butt.

I'm taking my crochet braids out later today and hopefully I'll remember to measure. I hope to have at least 18 inches after I straighten and trim around the holidays, so I'd need to be around 16-18" now. I'm getting another crochet install in 1.5 weeks. I haven't been moisturizing my hair as often as I should, but hopefully it's still in good shape.

So my hair is about 17-18" when measuring from my nape. I need 20 for WL. I definitely need a trim and I'd prefer a professional trim, but the last one cost me 4 inches. There's a stylist in houston I follow on IG that I'm tempted to try. Her presses look beautiful, but it looks like she loves some blunt cuts, so I'm hesitant. I have a few months to figure it out.
I hope to have a full, blunt cut 20 inches by my bday next August.

My hair felt soft after the take down, but my curls are acting funky, not as springy. I hope I don't have heat damage. I blow dried my hair before the install to make it easier on the stylist. I'm 90% sure I used a medium setting, and I did use a heat protectant, but it was a cheap one from a bss. I'll give myself a protein treatment and DC for longer and see what happens.
My ends are also looking thinner than they should. My mind could be playing tricks on my since I just took out thick crochet braids.

I had another 2 inches of relaxed hair chopped off. I'm going the wrong direction for reaching WL.

@GettingKinky No worries!!! Once all of the relaxed hair is gone, you will then be able to truly focus on your hair (all natural) and your hair will do what it has been doing all this time- GROW!! 
P.S. You still have a lovely head of hair

Was planning on sticking to my wig routine for six months to see if I can get over this hair slump but there are so many other styles I wanna do.
1) Mini Twists since my hair has a inch or two more stretch since the last time I did them.
2) Crochet Faux Locs. Since I use to love the look of actual Faux Locs on me but hated how long they took.
But I'm gonna chill.

Cowashed with Creme of nature cleansing conditioner. Rinsed and now air drying with no added product
In the morning I'll probably do 2 braids
My Qhemet heavy cream comes tomorrow . Will use it Sunday

I'm going to co cleanse with Curl Ideal mixed with aloe vera juice for extra moisture. Then I'll dc with Masquintense or Cristalliste. I haven't decided... I might straighten afterwards. I'm starting to miss my hair and I don't want my bkt to wear off while I wear wigs
