Natural Hair Growth Journey & Confessions

I've decided to go on a growth journey.  In the 5 years that I have been natural I've pretty much had a laissez faire attitude when it came to my natural hair.  Now it seems that my hair has reached it's terminal length or can it grow a bit longer?  I would like to see how long my natural hair can grow.  I will admit that I've been pretty much a "lazy natural" opting for low maintainance style options.

But this year I will venture to see what great lengths my hair can reach.  I've made a video about this and I've put this on my blog.  I am now accountable. Below are a couple of pics, one is in September 2014 (hair is flat ironed) and the other is March 2015.  They obviously going to be dramatically different but I'd like to see comparison for 2016.  I will admit that I have not been keep the best hair practices which would explain a lot of set backs.  From here on I will baby my hair so I can see it grow.
