I remember back in october or november how i was counting on a certain length by the end of december and then the end of january and my hair has reached my goal, so far, for some reason i didnt think it really would, i guess i assumed i'd have a setback or something or that my hair wouldnt grow fast enough but if i have no setbacks i should have my goal of more than 18 inches by the end of the year,, right now i wear three tracks of 18 inch extensions with most of my own hair out so it looks like long layers and the 18 inch extensions have always seemed so long to me so it would be a dream to have more than that by the end of the year  right now im at almost
armpit length in front,, armpit length on the sides and nearly brastrap in back but it seems so thin when i flat iron it and i cant stand that!! ,, i think im too used to the weight of having weave hair in,, i think the trims i did have really helped keep it look healthier and at some point i'll do more cuz my ends look somewhat thin and i hate that look..... ------------- Hair type: 3b some c?, fine strands, last relaxer sept 05, never again!!! current :ap length on sides,,nearly bsl in back, damn those old frazzled ends! I am hair OBSESSED |

hi runawaydream,, well i wash once a week, with Creme of Nature Clarifying and also Neutrogena Triple Moisture Shampoo (NTM) and after the wash I use a reconstrucor for about 10 mins,, either Nexxus Emergencee, K-pak or Redken Deep Fuel and I use a recon EVERY week becuz my relaxed ends are very damaged! ( tho some ppl dont take the protein well),, then I shampoo out whichever recon I use with the NTM shampoo always (even though the instructions do not say to shampoo out K-pak or Deep Fuel) and then follow that up with NTM mask for half an hour or longer ,, then rinse and spary my hair with Nioxin bliss, air dry and the next day I flat iron using Fantasia IC heat protector spray and for moisture through the week I use NTM serum and Phyto 9 .... ------------- Hair type: 3b some c?, fine strands, last relaxer sept 05, never again!!! current :ap length on sides,,nearly bsl in back, damn those old frazzled ends!

Lol....it's funny because we do our hair so much alike it's scary. My mom was laughing at me the other day because she says I do my hair in "stages"....meaning it usually takes me 2 days ------------- |

LOL!! really?? i would have imagined I was the only one who took 2 days to do their hair but we have the same hair type and i know that hair in the 3's is a HASSLE and one day is not enough lol!! anyway my hair has changed drastically since i discovered hairboutique and now that i try to limit heat to once a week rather than once a day its just getting better and i can actually see having long hair in my future and you are definitely my hairboutique hair idol  ------------- Hair type: 3b some c?, fine strands, last relaxer sept 05, never again!!! current :ap length on sides,,nearly bsl in back, damn those old frazzled ends!

I started out on blackhairmediaforums but couldnt post and got fed up and then totally fell in love with this forum,, i also found that on the blackhairmediaforums that i didnt really see anyone with my hairtype so its more difficult to get advice if you dont have similar hairtypes and thats frustrating and i have that same feeling that hairboutique is home ------------- Hair type: 3b some c?, fine strands, last relaxer sept 05, never again!!! current :ap length on sides,,nearly bsl in back, damn those old frazzled ends!
