Crackers Phinn
Either A Blessing Or A Lesson.
For folks that saw the March update thread, I'm copying the same info over for people who didn't see it and may have questions that's why this post may sound familiar.
My mom came to live with me a little over 2 years ago. She has really bad arthritis and can't do much with her hands so I took over her hair care.
When she got here her hair was all kinds of broken and crispy. Lengthwise, I'd say her hair started between 3 and 5 inches long, the breakage was random. She wouldn't let me take pics of her starting point because she thought all the hairboard stuff was nonsense.
She transitioned for about 16 months and then decided she wanted to relax again in July 08 for her 70th birthday.
She recently asked me to flat iron her hair and since I knew it definitely wasn't hitting the chair at the last pic, I figured it was a milestone worth sharing.
Growing up, I never saw her hair get long enough to brush her shoulders. Usually it was at the top of her neck.
Regimen - wash and condition once a week - Mom's hair loves whatever products I put in it. I put leave in and coconut oil on it and let it dry in a bun with the ends tucked under the pibbs. Every other day I'll put in some more leave in and put it back in a bun. She only wears her hair down on the way back from getting her touch ups and for special occaisions I'll rollerset it for her, but she's in buns 90% of the time.
