Starting Hair Length (Warning - Poor Quality Pic)!

Starting Hair Length (lets say 01/01/12)

So as you can see the orange line represents SL & the green line my current hair length. Now I'm not sure how to explain this but under normal circumstances (when I'm not stretching my hair) its just sitting on SL, but this might be due to the fact that I'm not straightening my hair properly. 

Yes the picture is not great & I don't have a proper picture of my whole head of hair but I needed to post some sort of picture. I would've posted pics of my hair straightened on NYE but I was in a rush and forgot to take pictures. 

Don't worry the quality of my pictures will improve in the future (expect an update in 2/3 weeks and then another during the Easter hols).

New Beginnings!

So this is my first post for this blog. Every since i was a child i grew up with the mentality (instilled by my mother) that as a black girl/woman my hair could never grow as long as someone from an Asian or Caucasian background. I was told to always apply grease to my hair thus blue magic& luster's pink lotion became my stables. I was given the impression that washing my hair would cause it all to break off and if i noticed any sign of regrowth then i would need to get another relaxer even if it had only been  4 weeks since my last one etc. However recently i came across black you-tubers who had was i yearned for; long, relaxed hair, at this point in time i was going through a lot of personal issues (mainly the death of two relatives just four months apart) and was unable to start my HCJ, however i did research into what a HCJ was an joined both Hairlista and K.I.S.S. 

Right now, i am currently in my first year of uni and a weave-junkie. Over the last 6 months i have worn weaves non-stop. Although i know that wearing my hair "out" would be easier as it would allow me more access to my hair, i don;t think i;m read for such as huge step therefore i will continue to wear weave/braids as a protective hairstyle. 

Ok .. enough with the rambling - my plan is to start my HCJ as soon as i get back to London, take out my weave, get a relaxer & trim/cut my hair.
