9 Year Shea Anniversary: Started Dec 16th, 2016!
Hi Ladies,
Here is my 2009 update. My hair length gain has slown down tremendously. For my hair, once it got past my waist, it has been slow going to get to the next point, my hips.
I initially started my hair journey at 14. But, started chronicaling my hair journey with photos since I discovered LHCF in 2003. The thing I have learned on this now 6.5 year LHCF journey is to find what works, stick to it and seek out others on here for support.
Although I didn't gain a whole bunch of length between Feb 2008 and November 2009 (there is an error on my picture # 9 [the correction for picture #9 should read Nov 2009 not Nov 2008]), the texture of my hair continues to improve.
My straightened hair is rough and coarse. Each year, it gets a little bit softer and silkier. I am very satisfied with my progress. I hope you enjoy the pictures.
(Thanks Miss*Tress for your excellent blog tutorial on how to post photos in a thread!)

2009 Progress

Texture (new flat iron, pressing comb mix- Usually I am 100% straightening comb)

Another texture shot (mixed textures)

Ends are a bit rough. I didn't baggy in 2009. I will be returning to baggying in 2010.
