I'm just wondering what the twist out will look like though. I made them kinda fat this time around just to get some kind of stretch going on.

I don't know. I hope its cute. But you have to experiment with it sometime. So now is a good time. If it doesn't come out as well as you like, you are the "Puff Master". As long as you have a fall back style you are good. :yep:

But we will be waiting here tomorrow to hear how great it is. :grin:

Ooo...count me in!! :yep:

~Current hair length: I flatironed last week, and found out I was SL! My hair is short in the front, so I'm looking for that section to grow long as well.

~Relaxed/Natura/Texlaxed/Loc'd: I'm natural.

~APL goal month: I would Love to hit APL by August, for my birthday!

~Current Reggie and styling choices: Shikakai Cowashing every 4 days. DC'ing overnight with MT the day before my cowash. Possibly clarifying 1x a month or less. MS with spray bottle mix & WGO/HSO (ceramides). Bantu Knots most of the time, and flat ironing for special occasions.

~What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to APL?: Less shampooing....my hair doesn't like it.

~Post a beginning picture: Next week...I'll be flat ironing for girls night out.

I am so super thirsty to grow this hair back thick, healthy, and long. :yep: My hair has always been between APL and BSL....but it all fell out after the birth of my twins.:cry2: So, it's been a Real process this year...lotta work. I think I'm finally locking in my reggie, so I'm eager to see how quickly I can acheive my goals. :yay:

I would bet it's the smell. Certain scents trigger headaches/migraines for people. Chanel No. 5 gets me EVERYTIME:ohwell:
 
I somewhere on the spectrum of NL.


I am relaxed


I should be APL by December 31, 2011


I am growing my hair back out from a pixie-cut I had done in January 2011. I stop maintaining the pixie in March.

:blush:

Right now I have a bob with lots of layers and blunt cut bangs. I am three months post now so my bangs are to long and I need a trim. My hair is to short to bun or french roll, so for now, I cross-wrap at night and wrap with a silk scarf when I'm not out. I wash & deep condition every 10 days to two weeks. Since I'm 4b - I must KISS and low manipulation.


In a few months, my hair will grow back out, and I will be able to daily co-washing and protective style again.

I took this picture at lunch :look:.

A little bit of moisturizer (right now I'm using this Motions moisturizer) and a few sprays of African Royale BRX spray to make it easier to slick back and then I use my trusty knee high to make the puff.

You are the Puff Master :notworthy

I completely ignored the picture the first time because I thought it was somebody else :look:

If you stood next to me on the elevator I wouldn't know you :nono: :lol:
 
When I first started my job 2.5 years ago I had 3" of hair and my coworker had APLish hair that she wore in a wrap. Now it is 2.5 years later I am sitting at SL and she is somewhere between SL and APL. I'm not going to lie, I am so looking forward to getting my hair to between APL and BSL and straightening it and just wearing it out and outdoing her. It is going to be a proud moment.

Fortunately, I won't be working here when my hair gets to that length but its going to be a proud moment anyway.
 
ugh. so i went to see a friend of mine yesterday and decided to wear my hair down. what the heck was i thinking?! as much as i enjoyed having it down, i had to keep picking little pieces of breakage out of my sweater. i thought that sweater would be ok because its soft and doesnt tug like chunkier wool blend sweaters. i was wrong. so now im ready to dust my ends AGAIN and not wear my hair down until my length check in march. that was sooo not worth it. he didnt even mention my hair (he met me when i had a baldy) :(
 
I am Shoulder Length, at least I think so not sure.
I am Texlaxed
My goal month is December
I shampoo once a week followed by a deep condition.
I co wash once a week or twice a week since I exercise often.
I plan on roller setting more often
I also need to protective style more to make it to APL

This twist out did NOT come out cute AT ALL today :lachen:

Gonna twist it in a few fat twists tonight just to stretch it more to see if I can possibly get it into a banana clip. If not...I shall turn Sunday into a wash day.
