I meant to do a bigger post than this for my 2 year mark, but I haven't been taking that many pictures lately of my hair. So here's my blow out and flat iron job. I blow dried and then wore it in a bun. Since I didn't do it on high heat (and am too lazy to sit there all day), some of the roots were still a little damp. I flat ironed the next day to allow it to dry some more and to allow me to rest for the job! 
Here's what I did:
I know I say this everytime I straighten, but this is probably the best job I've done. I did have to trim off about less than 1/2 an inch because I had a few splits and knots ( I've been very lazy with my hair the last few weeks, I've even fallen asleep without any sort of satin under me, so I wasn't surprised)

In a bun:
I guess I'm just barely BSL? I have as short torso though
Further goals:
It's been a good 2 years. I can't believe it's been that long since I cut my hair off and sat crying on my bathroom floor. Now my hair is probably the longest it's been in my adult life.
Here's what I did:
- Shampoo'd since I was experiencing some buildup
- DC'd with Giovanni Smooth as Silk for one hour
- Rinsed, then applied Curls Lavish Moisturizer and Fantasia Heat Protectant to each section before blow drying
- Applied a bit of JC Nourish and Shine to my ends, put hair in a bun
- The next day, I flat ironed with Maxiglide (on 8, no teeth plates or steam) with a little coconut oil

Further goals:
- I'd like to be full BSL and I'll probably stop at that.
- I have a lot of layers, I may grow those out, I'm not sure.
- Try more styles: Cornrowing and rollersetting are big on my list

I like your bun, very pretty!!
