Long Road to APL!!!!!
Apr 1, 2008

So after 8months rest from the chemicals I had the hairdresser do her thing with the relaxer. as expected she did a magnificent job. It seems to have grown a great deal but I didn't notice that much difference since at xmas and in february I had it pressed out. And my hairdresser talked me into taking half an inch off-but I was relieved to loose the strangley ends as I didn't want them to creep up the hair shaft which would be wasting my time.

There has been tremendous growth but theres always room for more. Only thing I detest about british styling is they don't kno how to do blow-outs like the dominican mommys on every corner of NYC-it sucks. Instead they insist on setting my hair in magnificent rollers and then flat ironing the curls straight-Point of that?They use way too much heat. So for that reason i didn't take any pics post trip to salon.
I've put a few up and will add more so you can see full length to compare Aug 2007-April 2008.

July 2008-Regrowth,Relax&assess Progress

I owe people an update! I been so busy. Been abroad, went to Jamaica-which my hair loved. I was 3mths post whilst over there. The secret to keepin my tresses in condition was moisture and conditioning whilst over there. It grew but and i saw the growth esp when i returned back to england and got my regrowth relaxed.

As usual my hairdresser did an excellent job. Only thing is sometimes i think i miss my kinky roots-Actually can't wait till my annual resting 'braids' period which i begining in october/november-Gods willings.

Health wise my hair looks healthy i've been told-lengthwise i needed a trim which i tried my best to avoid but my healthy hair started to shed fr the root-So I got a treatment lastweek and trimmed about 1/2 inch of the dead ends.

Still seems lenghthy-but by no way long enough-APL is a mountain-so I'm back on my silica with the biotin, plenty of water and protective styling-'Crown and glory technique' etc

Its probably just passed shoulder length since the trim with lots of body and thickness. I'll have to add some more pictures.

December 2008, Relaxer, update & Progress

Well its coming to the end of another year! Where did the time go, Its frightning-Jesus is definately returning soon!
Well I finally had my hair relaxed. Had been hiding it in braids and buns since October and hadn't permed it since July.

I was fairly pleased with progress, not ecstactic, as I would 've been had i not allowed my hairdresser to trim so much off my hair in 2008.

So after careful thought I've decided to self-trim up until April 2009-God's willing and then I'll re-asses the situation-

Overall happy with my progress&and the health of my hair
Once I reach APL----On to BSL,

God Bless Ladies xx

Mini update before June relaxer reveal
Apr 17, 2009

Thanks to advice of sincere friends on fotki, sticking to my regemin and virgin coconut oil, I have managed to stretch to nearly 6 months and I feel like I could go longer. Gonna stick to the 6 mths as I don't want to encourage breakage. Thanks for your support MP79 & longhairdon'tcare.
