you're doing GREAT!!!! You'll definitely be WL by the end of the year. When I saw the "infamous bathroom photo" I saw how close you are to WL, maybe 4 months away (not very long in hair time).
My partner is waistlength-to-be crime! We are gonna do this!!!
I absolutely love dominican blowouts (see my sig and my avatar). I am so impressed by your growth in a year. I am laying off the heat for now. I did it twice in 2 months for job interviews and I usually wait 4 months between blowouts. I am going to try to make it thru the summer.
