It's been 10 MONTHS!!!!! (time for an update methinks...)

Soooo.......yeah.... I know this update is LONG overdue, so you have my full permission to put me over your knee and spank me for it!  I do have to apologize for my tardiness in maintaining my blog, although I have been super-busy being a mother/student/makeup artist/cake decorator and general and Jack of all trades.  But I digress - onto the important stuff!

It's been 10 months since I shaved my head and I can honestly say it's the BEST decision I have made with regards to my hair (apart from leaving the creamy crackhouse).  I probably should have a little more growth than I currently do, but for some reason unbeknown to neither myself nor anyone else, I shaved my head AGAIN just before my birthday last July - actually, that's a big fat FAUX PAS!  I shaved it because I bought a boooootiful full lace wig to wear for my 30th and I wanted to make sure I had the perfect [bald] base on which to apply it.  So, um, yeah, that was the reason.

I've slacked a little lot with my vitamin regimen, but I have kept up with my oils and potions.  My hair really loves Jamaican Black Castor Oil, coconut oil and shea butter - those 3 things are my fail-safe products to use.  However, now I have a lil afro puff going on, I have found that my hair is considerably softer and thicker.  I was having my first, long-awaited 'bad hair day' a few weeks ago and I was away from home without my hair kit (madness, I know...) and the only thing I could get my hands on was Sof'n'Free Curl Activator Lotion.  Y'know what?  That stuff is the TRUTH for my hair!!!!!  It makes it so soft and easy to comb through and it washes out easily too.  I never thought of using a curl activator before, but it seems to be doing the trick for me.

Anyway, without further a do, here are some comparison/update pics which show how my hair has progressed from May 2011 until now:

And do you remember that annoying bald strip at the back right-hand side of my head?  Well...

I haven't measured the exact length of my hair, but I'm just happy to be able to do something with it again.  Most days I just rock an afro puff like this:

And here are a couple of texture shots for you (I honestly think the sulfur serum and JCBO has softened/loosened my hair texture slightly):

Anyway, until next time, catcha later!
