My 1 year and 1/2 Comparison!

                                         August 2012

                                         February 2014

Relaxed 8 weeks

I have been so busy I forgot to update.... well I  relaxed my hair at 8 weeks post and I feel like my hair is not growing. I don't know what to say I deep condition and I keep my hair and scalp clean and moisturized and still not much of results to report. I was hoping to make BSL in one year to a year and 1/2 time but at this rate it don't even look like that is going o happen. Below is a picture of my one year and my one year and 2 months hair growth progress....

not much to hoot and hollar about!

1 Year ponytail and back Length

Here is a picture of my hair in a ponytail on August 5th 2012 and August 9th 2013

 

looking at the difference in the length of my hair  from the area of my necklace we can all see that it has grown a good bit I wish more, but that is because I am greedy. I am praying that in another 12 months I will be  a full BSL but a little pass it making me grazing MBL.

 

My hair is air drying and it looks mega uneven, but measuring from the end of my pony to my waist I am about 12 inches from waist length which is 2 years in time.... What a wait, and long journey I have ahead of me.

One year to the date!

 August 5th 2012 (back and ponytail)

I know I am late but It is officially my one year hair journey anniversary. August 5th 2012 was when I put my foot down and started learning about my hair and taking care of it and now it is past August 5th in the year 2013. I have come so far and I am happy about it. I wanted to straighten my hair for a comparison but because I used heat in July I decided not to. I definitely know I did not make my goal of growing to Bsl and I only hope in the next 3 to 4 months I will be bsl. my plan was to wear my real hair for graduation in December but if I am not BSL or longer I will just weave it up something nice.

 Because I don't really have a picture of my hair out for august here are my June pics...

there is a difference but not bsl yet... I shall continue with what I am currently doing!!!

 

A little comparison...

Here is a side by side view of 3 month progression. I am still shocked.

let the progression to BSL continue!!

Holy crap!!! (Length check 6/2/13)

I am currently 8 weeks post and today I washed my hair after 3 weeks (I forgot to do it the week before) and while air drying I decided to do a little unofficial length check, well here it is... I am sooo shocked!

I HAD NO IDEA.. I THINK THESE WIGS ARE REALLY WORKING.. my goal was to make it to line 10 by August which would put me at grazing BSL. Things have changed as of today. For the month of August (which is only 2 months away) I am now shooting for line 11 (I will relax in the month of august @ 16 weeks post)... low manipulation is key!!!!

Progress!.....

This is why it is important to take pictures to document how your growth is coming along. I didn't even know that I had retained so much length in the front of my head jeeez, I am happy! Please, check out my picture from February to April.

 

Measurements?

I am currently at line 6 (APL)


Moving toward lines 10-12 (bsl) by august 2013

From there continue to lines 13-15 (mbl) by December 2013

UPDATE

I FEEL THAT I AM A DEFINITE LINE 6 NOW (I DID DUST MY ENDS A LITTLE AFTER I RELAXED IN FEBRUARY 16th TO LINE 5)... but I need to straighten my roots to get the accurate line.

 

just look at my roots at 4 weeks post!

 

I have been doing head inversions, taking hairfinity, and using MN so I am going to say that those 3 things have given me an inch in  less than a month (I wish more).
