I'm just foolin around @Poutchi. I just like to act up and act crazy a bit.

No one ever gets the boot. It doesn't mean I won't give somebody the side-eye though. Especially the women that walk up in here already APL talmbout, I will be APL in November :perplexed. I ain't callin nobody out though :lol:

Most people just ignore my rants and keep it movin :yep:
Lol faithVA... I know what you mean... eyesides are then allowed... watch out ladies... my eyes can puncture through the computer and the net to get to you... Lol
But truly the haironexia is a real thing...lots of people can t see their hair is that long until someone else says it to them :)
 
We accept post graduate mentors and cheerleaders, so all are welcome for that reason, but I see quite a few heads that need to be collecting their APL degree and moving on, don't be like Van Wilder and hold urself bak cuz its fun in here! :p
 
hey ladies! how are YOUUUUUUU?
here are some pics of this weekend :




i then moisturized my hair with a creme moisturizer and...hair started reverting so i had to just put up my hair in 1 braid (then hiding it like a bun).
not bad, the hair is not so tighlty pulled and seems ok.

It's definitely real. I swear my hair isn't growing. And I can measure it and see from the short that its longer but I still swear its the same length :nono:

In my album I posted a pic of my hair every January. It's the only way I can prove it was growing. And I still don't believe it. It's just sad :lol:

In celebration of learning how to size pictures, hope I do not forget. Photo bucket, has been seizing up on me(making my pictures huge), so I switched to using lunapics, and it is working well for now.

Some time in February


My March 31 update


My back is now long enough for me to grab, so I am going to continue my check ins using this one

April 1 update


This length check I am excited because my two cornrows are now fully neck length, and grazing my shouldlers :pulpdance:

 
Debating. Do I wanna dye the hair again or wait? Hmmm...decisions decisions

Sent by me from my Android phone.Boom

OMGosh your hair looks good. Congrats.

I love Cheetos too. Have you tried the Cheetos puff twists. I swear they addictive and cheesier.
 
Since I won't be straightening for awhile, I'm going to post my most recent pic from the beginning of March.

I know I said I would do twists but I think buns may be easier for me. I did a bun today. Trying to keep it in until the end of the week.

Beautiful bun pookaloo83!

What did you use to keep your edges up?

I normally wear my hair out after a roller set or natural curly as my front ends curl. I do lay a bit of coconut oil when I roller set and in the morning as I'm heading out. Yet by mid-morning the front edges are curling up!

I used a lil bit of Eco styler gel. I'm not crazy about gel so I used just a bit. I didn't use a scarf to lay them down before either. Just used a soft brush.

To get true length in photos I think you have to have arms down if possible for the back shots.

I also think you have to look straight ahead in front shots.

When turning to the side hair appears to be closer to APL.

I am looking at a photo of me from last month and I pulled a piece with my neck turned and its close to APL instead of just CBL.

Congratulations @SelahOco on reaching APL! Great head of hair you have! Really healthy and full! What has worked for you in your reggie to reach APL?

Congratulations on the pregnancy too! & that is a cutie pooter there :lol:

I watched Sylver's YouTube video a while ago and it stuck in my head when she was saying "no manipulation, no manipulation.". So I never comb or mess with my hair unless it's wet and cover with conditioner.

It's long enough now that I wear a bun everyday. Sometimes a twist out and never a wash and ago because I get knots.

I straighten 2-4 times a year.

I only like them when I'm preggo. And I tried the twist ones but they were too firm. They have to be the regular puffs and I can eat a whole family bag in a day.
 
My ordeal with this head was no joke last night smdh never again will i be in yarn braids my hair was a tangled mess.....i dc'd with everything under the sun to try and detangle this sucker...it feels dry as all hell and thats not my hair no matter how much oil i put in this head so i will be vo5ing with olive oil every night and day for the next 2 months
