So I pressed my hair last night. I mean a real press, with a pressing comb. I had tried flat ironing but just got what looked like a blow out. This took the whole night! The only thing on my hair was Chi Silk Infusion. Unfortunately, I did it over the house I'm house-sitting and didn't have my camera over there so couldn't take a picture right away. It was so pretty, I promise. I put it in a ponytail and took the shuttle and by the time I got to my apt. and camera, I had lost 2 inches. 
But still, better than the flat iron. Here are some pics!
First I blow dried it. It was wild, I mean standing straight up kinda wild. So I put this scarf on to try to hold it down.
It shrank up after pressing. I was disheartened when I got home because after all those hours of work I had lost so much visible length in less than an hour! So I put some Keracare (i figured mineral oil would help with the sheen and keep it from reverting) on and banded the pony.
The next morning I took it down. It still looked like a lot of hair, so I was still happy:
From the front:
And I discovered that I am bsl! This is one of my lower bras, too, so I feel secure about claiming it, even if it isn't full bsl (I'll see you in summer!).
Yaaay!
