Length Check Pictures

I'm itching to claim BSL, but I'm going to wait until I'm actually at the bottom of the bra strap to get excited. My length check comparisons are from the end of May to the middle of August. My SO asked for me to straighten my hair this weekend for his birthday, so I bit the bullet and straightened it. It only lasted for two days though with the humidity and the rain. I'm going to try to stretch my next heat treat to October or November. I'm happy to see that I am slowly but surely making progress in my hair journey! The nice part about these pictures is that both were taken within a day or two of a trim.

(BTW, the reason I am stretching my hair in the picture on the right is because I did not straighten the roots and also because the humidity caused my hair to shrink a bit. The picture on the left is from when I got my hair straightened at the Dominican Salon...it was bone straight, no need for stretching.)
