Whimsy beautiful hair lady. Love it!
So it's been a while since I've been in this thread and I missed so much. Can you believe I was trying to give up LHCF for Lent??
Good thing I gave up swearing too.
So I decided to try the lunar chart cutting thing (what can it hurt, right; and I've been wanting to try Feye's trimming method for a while). Here are some pics. I'm super happy with the results. The first pic is straightened before the cut. It's right at the top of my hip bone. Where the ruler is, is where I want my hair to be and hope it will be by the end of this year. The next pics are of the steps of Feye's method, first the V, then rounded out. Finally there are the after trim pics. You guys, you know now that I know how to cut my hair, I swear I'm NEVER going back to the salon.

Your hair looks great. The ends look really good. I remember reading Feye's method when I first started trying self trimming. I need to go over it again and use it next time I trim.
If you google Habioku Long Hair, this girl has a really good video that shows the steps to get the U-shape. That's what I used.

Bsl the 1st time was the worst it was alway tangled frizzy mess it was a fight every wash day even though I DC. Then I found curlygirl by Lorrainne Massey and everything changes I gave up shampoos and never looked back. It's not for everyone but it works for me that and washing and detangling in sections It took me from BSL to WL

I find that when I am drying it my tangle up real quick and
It makes me breath in and out real quick. LOLNot as bad as it was before. The TT is helping me out tremendously. I have had to go to sections I part straight down the middle and use the hose.
I am up in braids now but I am trying to avoid those dry tangles.

Ok Whimsey I see the phot now. It looks great. Can't see your need for a trim. Did you see the "thin ends, lead hair thread."

My shampoo days haven't changed much but I do DC or Co wash more than actually shampooing lol.
I actually Co washed this morning with Pantene Pro V Dry to Moisture and my hair felt good.

Here I grow again!
Whimsy and Dee Raven, your hair is GORGEOUS!!!! 
As for me, I'm in a pickle. My mother passed away on Saturday. (I'm fine. I know y'all love me and care. Thank you. No need to interupt the hair conversations). So, I'm running around like crazy trying to get everything in place. The service is this Saturday (giving out of town folks time to get here) and I will see fam that I haven't seen in as many as 20 years. I'm 8.5 months post (or somewhere around there) so, my problem is what to do with this hair.
I want to show off my new length and healthy hair to those who remember me with skimpy apl-ish hair and still thought I had it going on. But, to do that, I'll need to flat iron, at the very least. And I'm not to good with flat ironing and being patient. My other alternative is a cute SL wig that I just bought but, the women in my family will straight call me out for wearing a wig. "Why are you wearing a wig? Where's all that hair you used to have?" And I mean, these chicks are bold with it. Hands will be all up in my head. I repeat, hands WILL be all up in my head.
I sort of saw myself in a hat with my hair bunned but, the hat would come off eventually.
I'm in a No Heat challenge and haven't done much of anything to my hair in 2 months. What should I do? I'm scared to go to a hairdresser because of the two textures. Otherwise, a Dominican Blowout would be on my to-do list. And even if I flat iron it myself, I'm no good at styling.
What's a sista to do? Grieving or not, my physical appearance will be scrutinized. Vanity and jokes run deep on my mom's side. And worse, those who come down are responsible for letting everyone who couldn't come know how we're doing and what we have going on. If the haters i my family catch me slippin, it will sho nuff be broadcast throughout the family. Does that matter to me? Darn skippy. These people are relentless and worse than any general hater you find in the streets.
Anyway, what ta do? What ta do?

Sorry to hear about your mother. I'm still praying for you and your family....as well as the gossipers lol they know they need to stop but we all have them in our families. Anywho, I suggest if you're trying to show length, do a light flat iron or blow dry and then do a twistout, braidout or bantu knot out. If you do the twistout/braidout on airdried hair, you may not show much length depending on your shrinkage. My braidouts are about apl on airdried hair. Or, you can wash and detangle your own hair and go to the salon to have them style it. The textures shouldn't be too much of a hassle if you've already detangled it. All they have to do at that point is rollerset, blowout, or flat iron (whatever you're getting).
