the spin pins have a coated ball like texture at the ends. they are very gentle on the hair and have never caused any snagging. the are more gentle than regular bobby pins. the twist effortlessly through your pin up/bun styles.

Idk yall...I'm gunna hang around and not claim apl yet...I really think my arm pits are uneven or my hairs un even...either way one side kinda looks apl n the other doesn't lol... N e way, here's some more pics from after I unwrapped my hair after sleeping on it...I like you guys so im gunna hang around a lil longer

LUVBUG10 I think the same thing, when I was rollersetting, before starting to Textlax, I always had full thick hair down to the ends, never had a problem...when I was co washing and now that I'm air drying I've noticed a thinning in the middle of my hair =\ rollersetting just works best for me
lamaria211 yea, I'm gunna hang out with you all for a few more months, I wanna be apl any way I look at it, no questions about it =)

 

[MeowMix]

NO NO NO NO NO! Can't hold the class back. Guess I'll have to drop out. Ladies, I don't know WHAT I was thinking.

Here are the excuses:

1. I guess it's because I keep my hair in braids alot and never really see it out.
2. I've got that ONE piece that close to APL; so my whole head must be there.
3. My sides might get to APL before the back?
3. I'm just trifflin.

I've been trying to fool myself all morning but I seem to be stuck @ shoulder. There is NO way I'll get to APL by December. I will be lurking and rooting for y'all. GO TEAM APL 2012

very pretty! no you don't need to let her even it up. it looks fine. don't cut anymore. embrace the V! Team V!!!

 

[LilMissSunshine5]

NikkiQ- Thanks for the encouragement! If anyone would understand, I know it is you...my stylist "situation" wasn't nearly as devastating as yours! But you are making great progress, so all is well that ends well On the upside, I'm no longer on ninja status

shortdub78- Thanks hon! You are right, it is fine because I wear it curly 98% of the time anyway I will embrace the V

I love your hair!! It's so thick and full. I personally don't think you should trim to a blunt cut, it's beautiful just the way it is .

News!! After a two inch trim (about 2 months ago - my ends were CRAZY dry and broken) bringing me to full SL, I am now officially COLLARBONE!! Whooooo!! (I joined this thread & posted photos the day I cut)

Just took my full sew in out after 4 weeks and today is the end of my 18th month post BC!

So in 1.5 years after 2-3 trims I'm full collarbone. I don't think that's bad at all! APL here I come!!

Picture Day ... again? I'm not ready! (lol) I want to be APL the next time I post a picture

 

[Mjon912]

MeowMix...do you take any growth aids or supplements?... Don't drop out...the summer is normally good to us...hang out untilsept and if you still don't think you'll make it then bow out =)
shortdub78 nah, I don't think I'm there yet...after standing in front of the mirror for like 20 mins I realized that my right side is like .5 to an inch longer then my left, so I'm going to go by my left side which is just scraping APL
LilMissSunshine5 Your hair is AMAZING I love it, I want it!!! I'm jealous...keep up the good work tho
BrownSkin89:waytogo: that sounds like some great growth! Cant wait to see your progress for the for the rest of the year
KiWiStyle that sound good! Your hairs going to be sooo soft and smell so yummy...can't wait to see your pictures

 

[KiWiStyle]

Picture Day ... again? I'm not ready! (lol) I want to be APL the next time I post a picture

I know I'm not APL yet, I just want to assess my growth and determine if the growth aids I'm using are good or gimmicks. Hopefully, they're good, lol. APL is at the #4 line on my length check t-shirt below.

[MeowMix]

Mjon912 Thank you for the encouragement. I do take growth aids .

I'm slowly accepting the fact that I'm may be a slow grower. Look I still can't say it and I've been on the board for 5 years. I DO like the suggestion of sticking around for another term.

Classmates I'll say it here if September is as bad as June was, I WILL drop out.

 

[NikkiQ]

^^^Yeah MeowMix you have to stick around with us! We don't want you to go
