I'm assuming those five lines are counting how many times you press Enter or Return. If you happen to have a sentence that runs on long enough to go to the second line it still counts as one line. I was amazed at that notification when I made my first siggy. Size of fonts & pictures make the siggy look huge, but we all have 5 lines to work with. Again, only an assumption, but I've been looking at everyone's siggy ever since, and I haven't seen anyone's I couldn't explain.

I don't know how they do it, but I know you aren't supposed to have siggys that big around here.
I guess the siggy police have gone on summer vacation.

I would imagine that the ladies with the really long siggies and large pics have them because they have purchased the premium fotki package which allows for bigger storage and more picture options...than the free one (that I have)!!
These are good theories as well.

Ok, had to bring this out again...have another question.
When do you officially claim Neck Length? When it reaches bottom or top of neck - like a couple inches below ear?

I claimed it when it reached the top of my neck, more specifically when i started feeling it on my neck after wearing my hair down.

I think these letters refer to the hemline shape of the hair when it is down.

Here are my questions:
What protein conditioners are safe enough for weekly use so I won't have to worry about my hair reverting? What ingredients should I use?
Can you use serum to seal moisture into the hair instead of oil? I have never been a big fan of oil.
What can I do to soften my new growth around the 7th week & beyond. I always want to stretch my relaxers but I end up going nuts around week 10 & end up getting it relaxed.
TIA!

I like Aveda Damage Remedy

Not sure, give it a try. Most serums will coat your hair though and prevent or make it difficult for more moisture to penetrate the shaft until your next wash.

CO-WASHING! CO-WASHING! CO-WASHING! At least 3x/week!
TIA!

1. What kind of products do you guys use for the perfect rollerset???? I hate using mousse because it makes my hair hard and crunchy and when i try to seperate my curls, I notice breakage.
2. I dont understand why people say use low manipulation on your hair but recommend co-washing your hair a few times a week, wouldn't that be manipulation??? can someone claer that up. I always thought about that but never thought to ask till now.

i think manipulation refers to what you're doing to style your hair. lots of combing, brushing, heat etc increases the level for manipulation. the more you're doing to your hair to style it, the more high maintenance it is.
an example of that for me would be doing it a blow out; i have to detangle, comb with a wide tooth comb, apply quite a few products and then blow it out (using heat) with a comb attachment.
low manipulation for me would be braiding hair up for 2 months or leaving it in a shrunken fro. little time is spent handling the hair with the latter two styles.

It's how your hair grows down your back, so V the middle grows lower (sharply) W the middle grows slower so the edges look longer and U the sides look slightly shorter and the middle hangs low giving a U shape HTHsorry, I don't feel like going through 10 pages to see if this has been asked
visit www.growafrohairlong.com it's a method of growing out your hair using braids (mostly) she gives info on DC-ing/ washing etc down to the size of braids- a lot of members (myself included) have retained using this...

cant get it at the BSS, it is an equine product! read the thread for current discount codes and a list of places NOT to shop as well. yeah its long...i know.
1. i just use diluted giovanni direct leave-in, and seal with sabino moisture block. soft but beautiful curls as well as a lower rate of reversion (well i'm natural, didnt catch whether you are or not).
2. after i cowash i just plop my hair dry and go or pull it back in a ponytail/wet bun, so for me it is low-mani. i detangle maybe once a week...for people that do a bunch of complicated styles after each cowash or use heat after each one, it's not low-mani.
