*Question of the Day*
(or weekend.whichever lol)

Since length check time is just 9 days away (if you can't check in then, it's absolutely fine. post whenever you're ready :yep: ) how are you ladies planning on measuring? Pull test? Flat iron? Blow out? Comparing hairstyles? Length check shirt? There are so many options!!

Blow dry on cool, flat iron, length-check tee shirt.
 
I length checked earlier this month, so I'll probably won't length check again until June. Trying to go until June for my next time using direct heat too. In June, SO and I are going to a Juneteeth ball and I'm already thinking of style options...going to start looking on here at the wedding/formal hair threads.
 
I'll length check when I TU in may @6 months post. Side note; I've been really loving my hair since switching to all natural products. My fav lines are Darcys and Shescentit!
 
Today was my wash day and it wasnt half as bad as last time, I'm happy I didn't relax! My hair feels so soft and smooth... I wash and set and flat ironed my roots/ natural hair... I'm excited about our length check, in sure I'm still APL since I keep cutting but hopefully I'll be full APL soon then BSL!!!

I can't wait!!! I always flat iron and I wear a tank that I'm hoping my hair will touch to indicate BSL. (see avi) I've taken several length check pictures wearing this tank so I can make a comparison. I also have a birthmark in the same area on my back.

...Does anybody else get that "holy crap! I'm really working on reaching BSL" moment? I do everytime I check into this thread. Like wow! I can't believe it.

ME!!! Just this week I called my sis and was like "OMG I'm getting close to BSL!" I don't know what was so different about this week's flat iron but I'm amazed. Never had hair this long and to see it continue to grow is really a big deal. For some reason I believed my hair would stop at a certain length but its growing and growing. It's been years in the making but it will be a reality this year! HHJ

I'm posting my length check early because I won't be around next week. I have a neuronanatomy test to study for! So here's my starting pic from December and my current length. I'm not sure why my hair has decided to start growing in a V shape but ill leave it for now. I'll cut when I hit BSL.

Looking good!! Closing in on BSL!! I can't wait to see mine next week. My hair has always grown in a "V" even when its had a blunt cut. I just think the back is growing faster.

Can't wait to poo and condition today. Me and DD.

The flat twists and bantu knots did a great job stretching my hair this morning. No bun yet. Just put it all in a super high ponytail.

Sent from my Android...Boom.
 
I think I have a new boo...the palmers Olive oil deep conditioner. I bought a pack from Walmart and it was so thick and creamy. I love a thick DC. Slip was nice and detangling was easy,

I'm supposed to be trying some type of roller set today once I'm in for the day...
 
Hey ladies....

Just used neutrogena triple moisture hair mask and omgggg my hair is so soft and fluffy and deranged....I wish u didn't have to put my celies in. Eh, one more week.
 
Getting ready to clarify and dc. Supposed to be going out with some of the ladies so i dont really know what to do to my hair. I dont use heat so i need a cute heatless style. I love my bantu knot outs but im kinda tired of that same look. Maybe i should try a braid out..

Hey Ladies! I've been MIA for a minute...trying to get it together. Maintained a KISS regimen during pregnancy...now I'm in the final stretch - only 3 weeks to go! I hope to do a pull test length check next week and then go into braid extensions. I've been in flat twists or 2-strands for the most part since January...I rarely wear my hair out. I hope to be apl by the time I take my braids out in June so that I can truly focus on reaching bsl by Dec. I know I need to up my m&s game, but ps is the best thing ever!!!!!

Hope you ladies are all doing well in your journeys.....
 
I love, love, love the LOC method of moisturizing! I do it every morning before bunning my hair and it feels so soft and smooth. This is my hybrid bun/ponytail. I think it's my favorite bun so far because I don't look bald when I wear it. (And it's super easy)
