Thanks Tiff,

I sure your hair will, just continue to give it a lot of TLC and it will respond, Hang in there... and expect a few bumps in the road but never give up... I am fighting a big battle now with shedding/breakage:swordfigh:gunner7:, trying to get this last week of a stretch in... I won't I won't give up though.. I will have to step up my full hair treatment a day... The shedding/breakage is killing me over here :burning:

Oh, well you get the picture...LOL

Thanks again

Oooh...I would like to play. Mind you, these pictures are all older since I had a recent change in my hair, but nevertheless, I love looking back on them because they show me that my hair grows without limits and all I have to do is wash and moisturize. I don't need growth aids.

Here's a few. They should be dated and they show my hair both relaxed (2004) and natural (2005-07).

1.) Here's a picture of my hair from 2004. The left hand side shows how the relaxer I used and heat from the blow-fryer broke my hair off. The right hand side shows that after 2 months of washing and sticking only to perm-rod sets, my hair grew about an inch to 1 1/2 inches per month!!

(Click for link to photo description...)

2.) Here's another 2 month growth comparison. This time around, I'd just gotten my hair cut because of breakage, and I decided to baggy my ends consistently if cornrowed or wear wet sets (strawsets, flexi-rod, and perm rod) exclusively. I stopped using heat during this time.

(Click here for description in Fotki...)

3.) And here's a growth shot of my natural hair. Natural hair does grow as fast if not faster!

(Link to picture in my Fotki...)

4.) Another natural growth shot after 6 months...

(Link to picture in my Fotki/album...)


One thing that I've noticed with my hair is that water is my hair's best friend!! When I can wash my hair, or style it while it is wet and leave it alone, my hair grows wonderfully.
