Hair growth

It may be just me, but I think my hair grows slow. When I attempted to go natural before , I permed my hair because of this reason. I am 4 months post relaxer, and i see others who are around the same time, and it seems like they have more hair, LOL. if you have pictures of your hair 4 months or close to this time post relaxer (not post BC) can you post them so I can see if its "just me"

You may be right, but it seems like you have more than I have.

This is 4 months for me

We had our last relaxers around the same time. Mine was Jan 16th. I think you may have gotten your hair cut lower than I did though. Don't worry Miss CrissyQ, your hair is growing just fine.

you're hair seems to be growing at a fine rate to me. I don't have any pics but when I was four months transitioning It was about that length. And it was hard for me to tell if I had alot of new growth but it did looked like I needed an extreme touch up. After about.. 5 or 6 months transitioning I started to see significant growth. And since I bc'd about a month ago, my hair seems to be growing faster since I cut off the rest of the relaxer... So you'll be seeing more growth in time..

CrissyQ,

I notice that my hair really likes water, that is why I wash everyday. Also, I think the Biotin is helping. Your hair is growing, you cut really low and I can tell the difference.

I wasnt gonna post this pic because you need to stop comparing your hair to other people's. Your hair was cut down to your scalp so your growth is gonna appear slower. And comparing it to others is not gonna change anything. You have to learn to love your hair just the way it is. Keep it moisturized and it will continue to grow.....like it is doing now.

Hey CrissyQ,

I agree with all of the statements. Your hair is growing even though it may not look like it. Everyone's hair is different so don't compare your hair to everyone else's hair. Keep doing what you're doing because you're doing a good job!

ITA. I had basically a buzz cut fade at the end of September and for weeks it felt like it wasn't growing at all. Then all of a sudden there it was. I feel your frustration, but don't give in to it. I saw a really great YouTube video by someone about this...If I can find it I will post it.

Keep the faith. Keep your hair well moisturized, eat the right foods, get rest, drink water, and live life. It will sneak up on you soon.

The pic in my avatar was 4 months of growth. I BC'D exactly 4 months post relaxer but i did not get it shaped up. I just cut the relaxed ends myself. I think your hair is growing just fine.
