Update 11/26/10

Update.
Well....After i took my braids out my hair had so much new growth i thought i was traditioning!
But im going to wait a little bit before i relax again since my scalp is still soar.
Recently i bought a banana clip so i mainly have been moisturizing it with the Bronner Bros Moisturizer(See Regiman) && sealing with EVOO then putting it in a banana clip.
Right now at this moment i am doing a braid out. I
Had to do a major moisturize and seal because my ends were DRY.!
Im so upset because my Gro-Aut Oil was "Undeliverable As Adressed" and i had to have it reshipped. So yeah....im going to continue this journey.
I Just love going on hair care forums and youtube just to see progress pictures to give me HOPE.! As far as my "To shoulder length '11 challenge goes im almost there.
Im just really not doing good with the only rule which is drink 8 glasses of water a day. SMH.!Thankfully I Have tookn my biotin everyday faightfully But This Is My Update As Of 11/26/10.! HHG.!

Sideish View

I Went to a african shop and i got them done almost a month ago. Cost me like 140 but it was worth it. It hurted at first but then it stopped. I Oil them with EVOO once a week. I Used the Whole bottle im on my second one.

But Here Goes My Pictures.

Update....

Ok...well i got box braids at an african shop.I Kind of like them because they arent tight so there doing more good than bad. I Plan on keeping them in for about 2 months...with 2 shampoos. On another note...i bought me some biotin. 5000mg 60 tablets.I Got 5 for 14 dollars at Puritans Pride. Hope I Get Good Results.

Progress Pictures Help

Fotki is the best place to share your hair progress because its free and simple.
Im really not going to stress how important it is to take progress pictures.
Do NOT Take Progress pictures often or you will become paranoid about growth.
I recommend taking them every 3 to 4 months or every new relaxer
I Recommend eighter taking them when hair is wet or flat irioned.
For Me It Is very New Relaxer .....so about 2 or 3 times a year.
I Really Dont Use Tape Or A T-Shirt to measure. I Just pretty much look and see the diffrence.
Also If You Meause Really Rarely You Will notice more of a diffrence.

Product Junkies

In my opinion products are overated.

Many people belive that they need 1,000s of products to have healthy hair.

I may not have super long hair but my hair is healthy.

Have you ever heard the saying...to much of a good thing can be a bad thing?

This applies for hair. It can clog your pores and prevent hair growth.

If use just enough products than your hair will be fine.

Just because products work with someone on youtube with long hair dosent mean that you should rush and buy it.

Trust Me I Bout Many Products that didnt work for me...and some that have. So dont become a product junkie unless you really have a good reason.

My Favorite Hair Care Forum.

I Recently Discovered That BHM(Black Hair Media) Is the best place for Hair Challengers.

It Is way more organized that the LHCF.
I Started looking for Hair Care Forums about the day before yesturday.
Im Most Pleased With BHM Because since im a little new to this Hair Care Thing.
I Have Been Using Ths For A Minute and i already like it.
I Will Eventually Use LHCF But right Nw Im Going To Stick To BHM.
I Found A Lot Of Hair Care Forum by simply typing It Into Google.
I Mainly Use Them Bcause Its Nice To Get Advice from people who are at were you want to be. Its Not Only A Hair Care Forum but it is a weight forum and just lyke hair it has wieght challenges.
So With My Experience BHM Has My Vote.!
Bt I Will continue my search.
