I would do it if I’m not familiar with the braider’s style of braiding. You not about to be tugging on my head all willy nilly.

My finger is better 
I can retwist tonight or tomorrow. Took my twist out and will wear a twist out today. My hair made it 7 days in twist, but I think 6 days with the 7th day as a twist out is better. I also think it would help if I remembered to wear my sleep cap every night. 
I think I forgot 2 or 3 times.

I got my hair braided yesterday, I will be wearing them in until July. This week I have come to realize that the Demi hair color and developer have been breaking and damaging my d@mn hair. I have been using it for about 2 freaking years, WTF. If it not one thing, it's another.. When I got home, I threw that sh!t in the trash.. Ugh..

I have no idea. I did mini twists for the week and then I just took them out. I didn't really twist for a twist out. So, I'm guessing 2 hours worth was probably 100 to 150 mini twists.

I tried to take pictures but honestly it wasn’t working this time and I didn’t even realize my mirror was that dirty 
Of course I took this picture before I accidentally cut some hair 
Do these pictures count? If not I’ll work on it lol

I don't know why, but I never trusted Wella Charms. They always seemed to be sold out of the developer too. I've been using the Ion Demi permanent color and it's pretty good.
So pretty. Looks super shiny as well.

I'm sorry you cut some hair. I hope it wasn't too much.I tried to take pictures but honestly it wasn’t working this time and I didn’t even realize my mirror was that dirty

These pictures are just fine. They are just a starting point so you have a comparison photo to acknowledge your great progress at the end of the year.

@sunnieb your hair is looking great. I know you are growing it out, but that length looks really good.
@ItsMeLilLucky I’m sorry to hear about your hair cutting incident. :-(

I have to go all the way back to the drawing board. Matter of fact, let's burn this drawing board down and get a new one with a shiny new pen. I have enough to make a decent ponytail, so from now on, it's nothing but headband wigs, headwraps, buns/ponytails (with or without added hair), or crochet braids. My post in Random Thoughts explains it

And no people doing my hair aside from an occasional silk press. Maaybe once every 3 months.I have to go all the way back to the drawing board.

Periodically, every 5-6 months, I measure my hair. The bang area is definitely growing but the back and nape seem to be stuck. The nape at 13 inches and the back at 15 inches. :-(

Oh boo!!! My nape is shorter too, and I think it's from the hair catching on my clothes
. I'm thinking about wearing my hair up more to keep my nape semi-protected. That might be something to consider

@ItsMeLilLucky I swear you keep me laughing even when things don't go your way! I appreciate all your kind words to me when my hair was at it's worst.
@GettingKinky ugh! I'm mad for you. Hope your next measurement is better.
As for me, my hair it's still doing pretty good. I just have to stay consistent with my routine. Think I'll be able to claim SL when we do our July check in.
