A year's comparison...

A Year's Comparison

So on this 25th May 2013 I decided to look back on where I was and what I was doing then compared to now. I have changed so much about my routine from products and techniques and I know for a fact that this change has help me so much.

25th May 2013..

Yes, its two different angles and the pictures are not clear. (I take pictures with my blackberry)but the difference it jumping at ya. Its so much more fuller and longer :) 

Between December 2012 to now I completely changed my whole routine

May 2012 December 2012                                                      December 2012-May 2013

• Stretching relaxing (4-6mos)                                              Stretching relaxers (11-13 weeks)
• Assortment of products                                                      One product line (Paul Mitchell)
• Protective styling                                                                 Protective styling
• Professional relaxers(Motions I think)                                   Self Relaxing (ORS relaxer)
• Comb detangling everyday                                                   Finger Detangling ..Comb only wash-day
• Taking multi-vitamins                                                             Never remember to take em and ran out
• Oil Scalp with Gro-aut oil                                                      Oil scalp with Hair Trigger Elixir.

Out of all the things I did different I think the fact that I STOP stretching my relaxers so long. Doing this I know for a fact helped me retain so much length. Second I would give to the finger detangling. Puttting down the comb was one of the best thing I could have done. Why didnt I think of  it any sooner? Have no idea!

This time last year I was just achieving  SL  and around November that year I  had been a little beyond Full SL. I think I have a picture of where I was November 2012 right now. At this point when I relaxed the 23rd of that same month. This is when I changed my routine.

November 11th 2012

As for the difference in the scalp oil. I haven't used the hair trigger that much between my last stretch to know if it made a difference and/or to compare it to Gro-Aut. I'll try to use it this time around to make that assessment. I am proud of what I accomplished. It may not seem much to others since that's a whole year difference but to me who still didnt know what to do with my hair and how to treat it and finally knowing what my hair wants and the fact that I am such A SLOW grower..its a lot
