I have been wearing my hair in a bun since March 06. My hair was natural and I decided to tame it a bit by getting the Wash and Wear relaxer which is much like a texturizer. When I got the texturizer, the stylist cut aboout 3" of my hair. I started wearing my hair in a bun. I try to keep my hair moisturised so I spray it down every AM and PM. At night I put in 4 braids and pin up and put on my silk scarf. Like I said I have been doing this since March. I was going to get cornrow braids, but I decided not to because I re-read the thread about the lady who grew 8-9inches by wearing her hair in a bun. I had noticed that my hair was growing, but I didn't really realize how close I was to waist length. In March my hair was touching my shoulders, my hair is now a little past brastrap. I measured to see how far I am from waist length and it appears to be 6inches. This has happened and it has not been a year yet. This is why I decided not to get cornrow braids because the bun seems to be working in helping me to achieve length. I will be giving myself touchups every 8-9 weeks and my hair does not seem to suffer from it. I will be starting a new regime on Sunday and hopefully I hope I will get some good growth because I want to wear it down for the first time in June 07. I will be getting it professionally done at that time and I just know they are going to trim about 2-3 inches from my hair. I'm not for sure this will happen, but I'm just anticipating it so I won't be shocked. By the way I am 5'8" and I believe the lady who grew her hair out by wearing a bun was 5'3" and she was about 3" from waist length. The obvious question is I want to see pictures and I promise I will post them. But right now, I am on the Sweet Success Challenge and for six months I'm concentrating to see how much growth I can get by eliminating sweets. I am taking pictures though, but I won't be posting them until the challenge is over. This is something that has just come as a surprise to me, recognizing how my hair is progressing by wearing my hair in a bun and keeping it moist. Anyhow, I just wanted to share with all of you ladies; keep it up, it does work and thank you to the person that reposted this older thread about the lady who achieved 8-9 inches in a year.
