Your hair is gorgeous! I would say your WL:yep:
 
Hello Ladies,

Checking in. I have not washed or done a thing to my hair since Sunday. I have had so much going on. Enjoying the company of my son, who is visiting from college, and my oldest son, who was deployed to Haiti returned home this weekend too.

2mar should be a better day for me, but now I don't know how I am going to get the pic that I want. (my college son is heading back tonight) I will be doing stretched wet hair. We'll see what happens.

Everyone's pics are AWESOME!

Weelll, I don't mean I take the whole 72 hours. It's like I do each section by days. The nape, middle (the hardest part) and then the top layer of the hair. It takes a lot because my arms would get tired easily and I'm kinda a perfectionist. But, my biggest problem is tangles. I would wash, condition, detangle really well, then add my leave-in heat spray and magically in the process of doing my sections, I'd somehow find a matted and tangled mess at the roots of my hair. And I'm like, where did you come from???? Then after I re-detangle and get to work, my hair would dry mid-way and get tangled YET AGAIN. :wallbash: If someone could help me understand why this happens, please help a girl out. :ohwell: Although I always thought it was a common problem for very fine but dense hair. Hmm...Maybe I need a new leave-in product...

Do you sweat to your scalp? If I try to flat iron my hair I can not do it in my little hotbox bathroom. The heat just sits in there even with the vent on. So, I have to have the AC on and sit near a fan to keep my body temperate cool or else I'll have bushy roots and straight length.

ETA: I'm getting my hair done at the end of May for my Aunt's wedding and I am not letting my stylist trim my hair. She's not completely scissor happy but the last couple of time she took a little more off than I wanted. I'll post pictures of the results.

I did a .5" dust front and back. First pic is a few days flat ironed with bun waves. I have a U - shape hemline (a few inches away from completely growing out long layers in the back). Long layers in the front. Was flat ironed and wrapped that day.

I am loving your Hair!!!!!!:gorgeous: I hope you keep it All-Natural!!:grin:
 
ivey.... how do you get your pix to line up all identical like that? i try to do it and sometimes i get pretty close and other times i just give up!

First I try to duplicate the same way I took the previous pic, and then crop it the same way. Then I use a picture editing program. I create a new page to accommodate the images I want to compare and make lines accordingly. It took a awhile to do at first, but once you get it, it's easy peasy.

And it's not really identical, but gosh darn it, I try. :yep:

Ok, at long last, my length check pics. Grumble, grumble. Since my new growth is not flat ironed or even wet here, I didn't really get an accurate reflection of length. :ohwell: :look:

But I like the pic of my ponytail. I put the towel underneath for contrast. It makes me :wallbash: when people post hair pics wearing a black shirt, lol, so I just stuck a dishtowel under there to make my hair more visible. I wore my hair like that all day while I was out and about running errands etc.

I've been doing really well with taking gelatin. I noticed that my newgrowth is a different texture... it's much looser. Strange. But it seems to be growing at a good clip (despite photo to the contrary lol) and I am pleased with my progress.

Ivey14, congratulations on reaching WSL! Your hair is :drool:

LadyPaniolo, your ponytail is so pretty! Are you going to flatiron or leave it alone? I'm under the dryer right now and I'll flatiron, then post a picture. I am going to an indoor pool this Sat with my DD so I won't have straight hair for too long. I probably will straighten every other weekend now and alternate between curly and straight till end of May. After June there's no taming this mane.
 
BTW I'm watching V and I absolutely love Morena Baccarin's haircut. If I had some guts I'd get this cute pixie cut. I think it would look AWFUL on my noggin LOL Cute on her though.

i plan to go a tad shorter when i turn 30... I LOVE IT! so pretty.

weird how i can be so obsessed with super long hair and super short lol but in between makes me so unhappy lol
 
OK ladies here are my pictures. I just finished doing my hair and I'm off to bed. I don't know if I'm WSL yet but I do know I'm getting closer.

My freshly flatironed hair always feels a tad stiff so its hard for me to look at that picture and decide if I'm really WSL or not.

BTW I feel like I'm bald. I see women with BSL hair and I'm like wow that's long, but somehow my hair isn't long LOL Your hair is beautiful BTW so hush :lachen:
 
yeah!!! like th only time i feel like my hair is long is in the shower. when i feel the weight of my hair and the water and i can reach back and feel my hair (and running water lol)

but once i'm out the shower i dont feel it any more. even when my hair is flat ironed it doesnt feel long :( something is wrong with us lmao
 
@ Ivey and Boston Maria--yeah you're WL, claim that
Oh and I have that hair-orexia too, I guess once my hairs HL I'll be cured :lol:
 
that's what i'm hoping.... i really dont want my hair to hit the floor and talking about "just 3 more inches and i'll be done" :lol:
 
I hesitate to claim anything, yet I look at Ivey and Mariposa's pictures and I see that we're at the same length LOL I gots problems

Anyway I'm gonna go ahead and claim it. BTW when I reached APL and BSL I didn't announce it or post anywhere to claim it. I was too afraid of people beating me up LOL

Lynnie, you're probably classic length. If someone was to blowfry your hair straighter than straight you'd have the longest hair on this forum!! :drunk:
