3 years of twists?? Wow! with or without extensions?

Sent from my Android...Boom.
 
Hey folks, it has been a minute...just posting an update photo.
The one in the sweatshirt is Nov 2011, the one in the tank is March 2012, and the towel one is last night (August 28 2012).

I did my first self-trim last night, what does everyone think? I feel its probably a little uneven :) but didn't want to risk my stylist taking too much off, I just wanted it dusted. It feels better but I kind of freaked out that I'd done something terrible afterwards, it's awfully stressful to cut my own hair!

Love you guys, because of you I have a much better handle on my hair and I don't stress out about it nearly as much. I think I am APL now, although certainly not full APL. That is my next goal.

Firstborn2 How is the cowashing daily going with the Celies? Are they unraveling any? I cowash maybe twice while in my set of Celies and I keep them in for 2 weeks at a time before taking them down for wash day and put in a fresh set.

NikkiQ, I'm going to redo mine at the 3wk mark. I've been cowashing everyday since I workout on the beach in the evenings, the mist from the sea water is all over me. I did have to step up my protein. As far as my hair unraveling, I don't have that issue. After cowashing I apply oil and gel(to help with frizz) and wrap it up at night. In the morning I add my Marley braid to make a bun and go about my day:yep:.
 
Sorry I've been MIA ladies. Been trying to track down my family back home. They evacuated for the storm, but went to an area that ended up getting 3 feet of water. I'll be back in a bit.

Are they here in Louisiana? Did they evacuate to another part of New Orleans? We're catching the wind and rain something awful here, but the full storm won't hit us until about 7p they say and that's not much longer from now. I hope everyone is well and safe. Keep us posted!
 
KaramelDiva1978 yeah they're in LA. They were on the WB but decided to go by my brother in Laplace-bad idea. His subdivision had to be evacuated. My step dad called his mom who messaged me on FB telling me that they were being rescued by boat and brought to a shelter. Everyone is fine. I am SO glad that they are okay, but I am beyond pissed that they didn't think to call me and tell me jack sprat.

So GLAD all are fine and well!! Girl, some parts of N.O. are like a Katrina reply a few people still had to be cut out of their roofs. Some parts of the levees still breeched, its just bad and the traffic getting out of N.O. was just horrible!!! Glad they are good hun!
 
^^^Yeah I've been watching the Weather Channel all day and saw the poor people in Braithwaite with water up to their roofs. It's just amazing how 7 years to the day from Katrina...Isaac blows through and does some serious damage.
 
Thank God for Celies b/c my brain has been fried for the past few days and hair is the LAST thing on my mind!

Trim looks good to me. I am due for a trim too. I think after my relaxer, I will attempt to do one on myself. I am too scared to relinquish control to a stylist.

I'm glad your family is ok. That's has to be scary with you being so far away from them. I will keep them in my prayers.
 
I'm gonna do a blow out for the weekend well for tomorrow so I'm prepping my hurr for it any suggestions? I've looked at Nikkimae2003 and CharyJay's routines quite simple but I will be dcing over night I think.
