WOW!!
CH - I saw in a different thread the pic of where you started from in 2001, you have made mucho progress!!!!!
I know you wear your hair in a bun 99.9% of the time now, but what protective styling/daily styling were you doing when your hair was the short, above the neck length.? Any tips on how you progressed from the short do to the gorgeous length now would be grand!
You grow girl - you have given me a ton of inspiration to take car of the wild mane myself!

Thank you. My cheeks r hurting b/c im cheesing so much. Ppl walk by my desk and wonder wth is so funny ... LOL
During 2001-early 2003, when my hair was the short length i wore it just like that. I got my wash and sets once every 2 weeks and used whatever they put in my hair. I did not believe in deep conditioning b/c i wanted to get out of there fast and i didn't want anyone to take my favorite dryer. Yes, i'm crazy like that.
I'd get my roots blown out and id wrap it with the pins and b out. I couldn't put it in a ponytail (choclateprincess knows what im talking about
). i did perm it myself about 3 times in 2002 and that was easy b/c of the length but i mainly relied on the salons. The regimen that i follow now has been working for me for a while now (since fall 2003) so i'm sticking to it.
The only tip i can actually offer is: Keeping it simple is the way to go. No need to spend $10 on a conditioner when a $5 one does the same job, if not better, ya know.
