Everywhere I go I've been getting compliments on my hair. People keep asking me "who styles your hair?" I say myself. The go wowwww! It's so pretty! My sister said the dye i put in in makes my hair pop! It's growing on me.

Ooh, it's length check day today but I'm so excited I had to take a sneaky pic while I was prepping!!! I won't be straightening till this evening so I'll post the proper pics tomorrow. This is the longest piece of my hair but I'm less than 1" from APL - wasn't even dreaming to be there until December at least!!

This is after a recent 1/2 inch trim. :ohwell: I posted the nape only cause that's my problem area with regards to retention, and what I want to focus on. But now I've started more low manipulation - hopefully I will be on my way to APL.

ETA: This is the longest I have ever remembered my natural hair being. So I am grateful. Just wished I was closer to APL by this point.

You are much more positive about it than I was. :lol: Eyeball length huh? :lachen:

I am trying to just ignore it. The good thing is that now that I'm soooo far away from any goal, I have lost the desire to do those continuous pull test I was doing. Now I just cowash it and put it back up :yep:

Like your video. Will be checking out your channel.

***Copied from my BSL 2012 post due to laziness***

Okay so today I:

Shampoo'd
DC'd with about 1/2 a cup of extra henna mixed in
Rinsed
Molasses Treatment (Molasses, baking soda, Aloe vera gel) Don't ask where i got the recipe from ...it just came to me.
Rinse again
Spray leave in of AVJ, water and eucalyptus oil
Will probably just apply my MN and Bun it.
 
:bump:

My poor hair doesn't know wtf is going on these days. Just barely have enough time to apply my MN mix and moisturize before heading out the door. Super hectic here. I can't wait til everything freakin settles down!
