I just got my first bb brush and bought some argan oil to massage into my scalp. Wish me luck!

Welcome! So you're bleach free now? That's great! I start off with bleach as well and have been growing since. It's already quite an achievement to be bleach free. Happy growing!

Thank you! I'm not completely bleach free, the last two inches are still much lighter than my natural hair (easy to see where I'll need to cut once I gain back some length! &#128514

but it would have been way too short for me if I had chopped it all in one go. For now I just want to leave it be and either after 16 months or once I've hit BSL I'll have the last of the bleach trimmed off. I bet it feels great having natural hair!

Good luck on your hair journey!

Yay! I figured out how to post pictures! I’m not real sure how long it will take me to get to APL but here is where I am right now. ☺️ I bun my hair every day and it’s not wash day yet. So it might not be the best hair day. But I’m excited I learned how to post pictures! 😃

Very pretty hair, Vacurlylady. We are pretty close in hair texture and length. Yay for being able to post photos!

Thank you both! . ☺️ I’m so happy with my hair right now. And enjoying each stage. Also, that I’m able to post pictures so if you see the same photo again in two other threads, you will know why... 😂😂😂

Here is my latest pic, it looks longer than reality as it's been straightened. This is straight after a big chop (which I'm more unhappy about the more I think about it )

Your hair looks lovely

Sucks that you're feeling unhappy about the chop though.
