I am really pleased with the progress so far. Now that my hair has grown a lot, I tend to prefer braiding in cornrows because they are easier to take out. Things have been a bit hectic and I've taken fewer pics because I am getting married in 2 months, so I've slacked on my vitamin regimen. But I am still cowashing at least once a week and deep conditioning weekly. I spritz my hair with distilled water and glycerin twice a day and apply my oil concoction to the scalp and seal the end with castor oil. I baggy at night and throw on my lace wig during the day. I have not used heat on my hair since Jan 2006.
