Your hair is very pretty, @overtherainbow, and I love the length.

My wng routine?

I only do the Anthony Dickey Method (there's a thread on it somewhere) so I Cowash, DC, then apply oil and gel in the shower using praying hands method. I then run my hair under water for a few seconds, get out the shower and shake out my curls. Then I won't touch it till it's dry. That's it!

Thanks! I feel like it took forever for my wng to leave twa territory.

LOL! I'm in twa territory right now. It's growing but not fast enough. That's why I appreciate your pictures; they give me hope

Nice. I'm hesitant to work w/o sections. It would be 'fro city for me, and I live for definition.

Honey, so did I!!! When it finally did, I was more than shocked!

Oh I do work in 8 sections to help with detangling and styling. I separate my hair in loose twists. If I didn't, I probably would be bald.

Thanks! I'm actually grazing it now (I think?). I ps'd for about 5 months out of laziness and had a growthspurt. I haven't had an official length check because FH has been slacking at taking pictures when my hair is ready.

@overtherainbow Darn that FH ! I love it when you get the inadvertent growth spurt! Such a pleasant surprise!!! yep: What's your end goal?

Wow, this thread is almost 10 years strong!!! I'll update on the 10 year anniversary of when I started this thread (Oct 16). Hopefully I'll have some inspirational progress to share!!!

My goal was WL, but now I want BCL (Butt crack length). I hate my shrinkage and WL feels short on my coily/curly hair
