I finally have some pictures. My hair is just-out-the-shower dripping-on-the-floor wet, washed with conditioner without product applied.
The longest bit, that annoying V tail in the middle, is at mid pants pocket length (MPPL). The other bits I pulled on are slightly shorter, reaching about 1/3 of the pants pocket. So there has been a little growth this year, compared to my last straightened picture in mid-December 2009, when the longest bits were top of PPL. I trimmed 1-2 inches in mid-January.
I put this sopping wet hair in a banded ponytail. Look at how my hair compresses into nothingness when wet, especially the ends.
That's when I need to remind myself of Lucia's immortal words... I'll work on "thickening up"rolleyes
You better GROW! Cant wait to see you at thigh length.....
Happy Hair Growing!
I finally purchased some Goody Spin Pins today. I am kicking myself for not having bought them before... they are super-easy to use, and the bun holds very well. I love my Flexi-8s, but sometimes using them to bun aggravates my headaches. The Spin Pins will be a good alternative I think.

I hate to say this but I've pretty much abandoned my Flexi 8's in favor of the Spins Pins. I just love these and use them everyday.
My hair still tends to give me headaches sometimes from the heaviness, especially if it's wet/damp. I don't know how to fix this (well, besides taking my hair down of course).
But the Flexi-8s are so much prettier than the Spin Pins. My hair has to be absolutely dry when I use the Flexi-8s; wet or damp hair tends to pull too much after a while. Can you use the Spin Pins on your wet hair?

Re: Hair Weight Getting to be an Issue
I find that you need to distribute the weight of the bun with multiple clips. I
have a comfy bun tutorial you should watch.
This is so comfortable and I can wear it all day.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OZEDOMF5ek
Another tip is to put your hair in a ponytail first and then the bun.
The ponytail secures the hair in place better.
I wear my pretzel bun sometimes, but it is not as comfy since If use 2 big
clips.I also use multiple clips with the pretzel bun, but it is harder to hide
the clips. With the cinnamon bun the clips are hidden.
Try the comfy cinnamon bun Doreen and let me know how it worked.
Scunci makes similar clips since the ones in the video are hard to find now. My
hair is very heavy at 59".

I've used them on damp hair. My wet/damp hair is heavy so I do feel some tension though.
Flexi 8's are prettier but I wear the spin pins more out of convinience.

celinestarr... what i do is allow my hair to air dry down (and if in a hurry use a diffuser) and then bun. if i try to dry in a bun my hair is heavy too and take days to dry and will bother my scalp. your hair is way thicker+longer than mine so i can only imagine the weight of it. but once my hair is fully dry its 10x lighter and easier to deal with
on a side note... yes, spin pins rule. i already have spin pin fever spreading at work since i have like the 4th longest hair (of all nationalities) in the building lol

This is why I'm down to washing my hair only once a week. I do not use heat so my hair needs ample time to dry before going out. I worked last night and no choice but to wear my hair a little damp.
You're right; dry hair is much lighter but than wet hair, ouch, lol! Wet hair in a bun is so heavy.

yeah.. i cant stand wet or damp buns. plus, i think my hair just feels softer when air dried. but that's the sacrifice of thick hair lol

Yay! I've found a way to wear my Ficcares without pain! First, I gathered my hair on top of my head. Then, I used three Goody Spin Pins. One on the top, one on the bottom, and one opposite of the side that I inserted my Ficcare on. I inserted my Ficcare after inserting the Spin Pins. The result:
Now I have the strong, secure, comfortable hold of the Spin Pins but also the decoration/prettiness of the Ficcare. Best of both worlds. Plus you can't see the Spin Pins so it looks as if the Ficcare is holding it all. Thick coarse hair is hard to style but I'm getting there, lol! One day it will be easy.
I got my Ficcares from www.ficcare.com
My three Ficcares (all pictured above) are the Maximus clips. The burgundy and caramel colors are from the Border II collection and the pink one is from the Lotus Classic collection.

CelinaStarr - I really like it!issue is solved!
I remember your post from yesterday about distributing the weight of the bun with mulptiple clips to prevent pain/tension and it works. Last time I wore my Ficcare a few months ago it was so painful that I just took my hair down at work and haven't worn it again until now. I love the Ficcares and it broke my heart that I couldn't wear them (plus they're so expensive and that made me even more sad, lol). Now I can wear them. Thanks for posting that, Candy.

Ok you guys know I am in to "homemade" hair products and herbs.... This is for anyone to try but I know Mz.MoMo is using homemade juice. So Mz.MoMo if you want a boost in hair growth try this:
You remember one of the recipes from the homemade conditioners?
From: http://hmbeautyrecipes.homestead.com/HAIRconditioner.html
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Hair Regrowth Hot Oil Conditioner [/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Ingredients:[/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]3 drops of essential oil of thyme[/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]3 drops of essential oil of lavender[/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]3 drops of essential oil of rosemary[/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]3 drops of essential oil of cedarwood[/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]1/8 cup of grapeseed oil[/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]1/8 cup of jojoba oil[/FONT]
Well pure herbs are strong so for a spray bottle you only need 1 drop of each herb essentail oil, then your dabs of other Oils and Veg. Glycerine then the rest water. Mix and "Walla" you got a hair growth juice spray.... I've got a hair growing farm going on, on my head.... and the smell of the herbs are wonderful!

Excellent!
the peppermint is good for cooling effect. Lavender is one of the hair growth aids.Any of these herbs will aid in hair growth...
Burdock, Catnip, Nettle, Chamomile, Lavender, Rosemary, Saw Palmetto, Thyme, Yucca
But when mixing herbs together becareful... you need to make sure they can be mixed without negative effect. Just go to that website when you are not sure about your mixture.... it will help you. Eventually you'll become an expert at mixing "herbs"!
Because you are already an expert at mixing the JUICE!
