Thank you all so so much. I really appreciate all the love and support from the board and the wonderful ladies on here.

You got the full 6 inches and then some and I really like the styles you rocked. I am jealous.

Thanks you hair is beautiful too!

Wow! What inspiration for us natural newbies! Seems like all it takes is one short year and you're on your way. You hair looks fab ma. Congrats on making it a year.

Thanks girl...the beginning felt like it was so loooooooooooooog. Things got easier around the 8 month mark.

I love you hair do's! how did you do that twistie thing in the 3rd pic on the right? Uber cute!

I coiled them section by section, starting from the section closest to my ear, pined with a bobby pin then coiled the next section and pined again, I made sure to tuck the ends of each coil under the previous pinned coil.
Does that even make sense?

Yes!!!!! You did it girl!

Thanks girl..you progress is amazing too.

Thank you so much. Here is an explanation of how I did it. Let me know if I need to explain better:
I coiled them section by section, starting from the section closest to my ear, pined with a bobby pin then coiled the next section and pined again, I made sure to tuck the ends of each coil under the previous pinned coil.
Does that even make sense?
