Hello Ladies,
I created a post a while back regarding how full my hair had gotten post-partum...well; I still love my hair! Most of all, I am in love with how free I am with it. When I first joined the forum, I was SERIOUS about wearing my buns. I wore a bun about 90% (or more) of the time. I did get great retention, however over time; I realized that for ME, it wasn't necessary to wear a bun fulltime to have great hair. A little over a year ago, I even started blow-drying and flat ironing every two weeks.....no damage! I made certain to deep condition routinely, use heat protectant, and not place scalding hot dryers and irons in my head though....I used good common sense and did things in acceptable moderation. Then along the way, something happened. I think once I became pregnant, the idea of flat ironing and such just made me tired thinking about it
....so, I started wearing washngo's and twist outs more often....then all the time. Guess what? No damage! I did get the occasional single strand knot, but honestly nothing that would make me decide not to wear my style of choice.
All that being said, I just wanted to say that I feel so free! I straighten when I feel like, bun when I feel like, washngo when I feel like....I think this is what loving my hair is all about. I really love it! I can do so much with it....so Ladies....Here's to loving YOUR hair!

so I give you much Kudos. I just was in a discussion like this the other day and ITA, we should enjoy our hair as we make it healthy. So many ladies are so bent on being a "goal length" that no one really sees their hair as it progresses and they don't even get to enjoy it lol. I think we all should. So many other cultures don't have to "hide" their hair everyday to grow it, they enjoy their locks. So should we
