kami11213 you must have a long torso, cuz I'm looking at your pic and i see your waist and i'm like isn't that where her hips are. Also, you have such a nice shape.

You are WAY past WL, you already look HL to me. Some sections on the side look a little shorter but I think most would agree you are HL.

Hey girl. Enjoying this clear weather. I always feel anxious to wet my hair after njoy'g it straight. I'm all paranoid about wearing my hair straight and having my ends exposed. I'm gonna need rehab to start wearing my hair out again. I'm hoping going longer will allow me to do long, luscious braidouts to avoid flat ironing.

Ms Lala, the above is kami11213's response to that same comment!

NJoy OMGee!! I feel the same freaking way...I know I am going to have to go through some type of re-introduction therapy to wear my hair out all the time!!! But the crazy thing is that when I'm wearing it straight, I know that I'm pulling on it, it's breaking off at least in my mind...
