HAIR GROWTH

My hair comparison pictures from 
May 2010- January 2011
I sometimes dislike my hair. It really gives me the blues at times because I can't seem to manage it properly. On the other hand, I have days where I absolutely am in love with it & can't stop playing in it. May 2011 will be my one year hair anniversary & I can't wait. I manage my hair by conditioning/oiling it everytime I wash or co-wash, twisting it while wet in jumbo plats (protective style), and wearing a silk bonnet every night for further protection. I also try to do daily scalp massages and moisturize with my Desire More Naturals products. 
I recently straightened my hair for the second time to check for growth. It definitely grew some, but my hair needs a really bad trim/cut. So even with that, I know an inch or so may be coming off. Anywho, this is my hair so far & I pray it becomes longer & healthier by May 2011!

Recent Picture....Can you say CHEEEEESE!?? Lol...

  3. **Angela**: Thank you so much! It gives me the blues sometimes girl, lol! I just take my time with managing it. I regretted cutting my hair at first, but it is slowly growing on me! Just make sure you wash/co-wash your hair frequently, don't wear styles that put stress on your hair, tie it up at night with a satin bonnet/scarf or sleep on a satin pillowcase, and use the right products on it. Over time with much patience, you should see an improvement. I bet yours is growing though. I didn't believe mine was until I took pictures, lol! Thanks again dear :-)

  4. **Kira** Thanks so much hunnnnn!!!!! It gets dry sometimes girl, but right now it is soft. I am still in search of a really good moisturizer to keep it from drying out so quickly though. I use my own products (Desire More Naturals), but lately I went back to using Herbal Essence's Long Term Relationship Leave-In conditioner after washing/co-washing my hair along with a little oil, then I'll twist it in jumbo twists....that has really helped my hair retain moisture! Make sure you condition your hair everytime you wash it & add a little oil either before you wash it or with your conditioner. You can also add some honey with your conditioner to help soften your hair. Try that and see if it helps!!!! :-) Thanks again!
