Blah Blah Hair talk

So I have been cutting back on taking so many pictures of my hair on wash and co wash days. When people look through my phone (even though no one should be going through my phone cause they don't pay the bill...) it looks like I have some weird crazy love of hair. I can take probably 15 pictures of hair in one day just getting different angles and lighting.

I wanted to see how my ends were looking because well detangling they felt a little thin and I know that I am due for a good trim in may if I end my stretch then.

These pictures were taken when my hair was 85% dry ( my roots were the only thing really wet still). I had already put my leave-in conditioner in (cantu-shea butter) I am almost done with this product so a review will be coming soon. I had also did a light protein deep condition on dry hair. After looking at the pictures I feel like I will need about an inch taken off which is not that bad because my last trim was about 6 months ago. Sorry about the lighting but when I transfer pictures from my iPhone to computer they mess up a little bit. The top picture on the left shows one half of the back portion of my hair. As you can see the ends are not as blunt as I would like they come to a point which is not too bad. In the picture on the right I am trying to show where my waist is and how far away I am. From just looking and not really measuring it I would say I am about 5 to 6 inches away. So if all goes well I can be WL in early 2014. But my goal for this year is to be at full MBL
with a blunt cut.

Different relaxers and different people

I was looking through my pictures that I took of my hair and I realized that some parts of my hair are telaxed(unprocessed) and some parts of my hair are relaxed bone straight. At first I did not realize why my hair had different textures, but then I realized it was because different people were relaxing my hair.

Two of the four people who relaxed my hair were at the same salon and used the same relaxer but the time that they let it sit on my hair was different. One lady did not let it sit long enough so I was left with some textures to my hair which I dont mind but it does get annoy when I am air drying my hair and the bottom half of my hair has waves the middle it bone straight and then toward the top I have some more textures because of my new growth. Smh and I have also realized that no matter who relaxes my hair the middle will never get bone straight and I am ok with that.

The point of this post is to stick with the same relax and method. Even though even relax can relax a person's hair bone straight you may have to use a different method.....such as a longer or short time to let it sit on your hair, or smooth it more.

Here are some pictures of my hair will it is air drying. How you can see what I am talking about?
