Congrats! MyAngelEyez~C~U I can't see the pictures from my phone but wow! I'm barely at shoulder length. I think I'm a slow grower. You will def make WL by 2013 :yup:

So I tried the new Mixed Chicks knock-off line from Sally's. Love it!! It defined my curls without leaving them crunchy. I also used curlformers on my wavy parts and they blended perfectly with the rest of my hair! I'm no longer thinking of cutting and I'm loving my WnGs!!

I don't think there's - necessarily - a hair dress code, but since I've been wearing my hair in small twists under my bonnet and scarf, my hair has been loving it because of the low manipulation. The middle of my head to the nape has been my "tough" areas. These areas act like they don't want to grow, but I've resolved to doing some LOW, LOW manipulation but at the same time ensuring that my mane remains moisturized.
I can wear my mwa "mid-size weeny afro", but I can't seem to keep my phalanges out of my hair!
I'll try to style it with side or flat twists and see where that'll take me today.
I'll definitely try to post these picks today... uh...
Oh, but on a GREAT note: DH and I went to the beauty supply store yesterday to look at some wigs. I may buy a cute short-haired full-wig and two APL wigs (over the course of three months, hopefully).
I was also thinking about going to MIA to have my "friend" do my hair like she did for my wedding (but not sure I wanna do the full weave again...
)Attachments

lp318lp Aww. That is soooo cool to hear.
My hair isn't as big/long as it looks. I'm barely at SL in the back and sides of my hair. I can't wait to be FULL CBL/APL, its then that I think I'll be able to appreciate my length.
How long is your hair? Where are you in your journey?

They've helped me out quite a bit. I'll be done with my bottle in September, but I'll be ordering another 90 count bottle soon.

Whew! This thread is pickin' up so fast, if I miss a few days, I'm 3 pages behind!!! All good though!
Congrats! I'm proud of you, sis! KUTGW
I've been curious about what you do...you often mention "having shows", so you're a performer, I presume, but what kind? As for a style, I'm sorry I can't offer any idea. I'm pretty much a 2 trick pony
, Bun and WNG!
Keep us posted on how you like this after a few weeks. I've heard complaints about build up. I've been trying to buy some, but Sally's is far away, and whenever I get there, it's sold out. I'm a diehard MC fan, and I want to try this (and love it) SOOO bad!
choconillaprincess and hair4romheaven, Welcome, sistas! this is the hottest thread on LHCF y'all will love it here!

Sorry for the M.I.A.-status, y'all... Drama here in Memphis, but all is well now!!
Thanks for the complimnt, Esthi777!! I took your advice and pulled out an old wig, and bought a new one. I'll download them both and attach them in a bit. Let me know what you gals think!
I can't wait for CBL either. Right now, the back of my hair is gr-r-r-r-r-azin' my shoulders, but I trimmed a while ago and loss a few inches due to a split end problem. The crown areas of my hair is a little bit pass my earlobes, and the front part reaches my nose. My problem area is the back center of my head. It was growing well while I was in twists, but I guess, I concentrated more on the crown areas of my head, that I didn't notice when problems arose in that area!
Anywhoooo, I quickly learned that I cannot have favorite sections when it comes to this hair journey.
As for where I am in my hair journey, I honestly don't know. I BC'd on March 21, 2009 and was VERY short. I was trying to grow it out and used Sera252's Fotki as a progress tool, but that ended when I got married and wore weaves for about 2 months each time (I think
erplexed), then in February of 2010 I went to the African beauty salon and got my first set of twists. My hair responded WONDERFULLY 
, but because I could not afford to continue going to them, I decided to teach myself the styling technique. Needless to say, it was a challenge, but I became VERY good at it quickly. I guess, I started getting lazy perhaps the last few times I put the twists in, and (as with ANY style) if you aren't careful, you will lose your retention, which I did.
I rocked my own hair for a while, then decided to come back to this thread for support, tips, and encouragement, and now my hair is happy. With all the accountability that I'm putting in with this thread, the low manipulation, the increase in moisture, and doing what my hair wants me to do to her, I think I'll reach CBL by January 2012.
Thanks for the encouragement, SunnyHoney!! I am an actress, singer, and dancer. I have only been doing this for almost four years now (check out my website www.cdkolheim.com). But in between shows, I have to find additional means of income, so now I also work for an airline company. The benefits include flying for free!! So if I whenever I have to run off to NYC or LA for an audition, I just hop on a flight, do my audition, and head back to work! What I do now is crew tracking/crew scheduling, but I just finished the classroom and observation training portion, and am about to start the on-the-job training portion of my 6-week training program (that's a lot of "training", eh?).
