2 years natural and loving it !!!!!!

My last relaxer was Jan 15, 2012. I m 23 months post relaxer and my hair is growing. I My hair only grow 4-5 inches per year, but I am retaining all my length.  I washed, blow dried, flat ironed my hair, and clip the ends and here are my results. I did use heat protectant. I couldn't get the ends to be straight for the life of me so I just left it alone.
