About 7-8
• One cousin - waistlength. She's been waistlength since she was very young. She wore her hair natural for years (braids/twist/flat twists), but switched to a relaxer a few years back, and it hasn't seemed to slow her growth at all.
• One aunt - waistlength. She is currently relaxed, but for decades was strictly ole school “press and curl". I know she used to consistently use Royal Crown (hair grease).
• Two co-workers - midback. One in locs and the other relaxed. The relaxed head is very serious about hair care - VERY (limited heat, good products, protective styles)
• Two ladies at church - one midback and the other waistlength. I don't know what their hair regimes are. But on Sundays they seem to be rockin' rollersets. During midweek services, they are usually in the same rollersets or ponytails.
• A friend of mine - midback. She has locs that hang at about brastrap, but I'm guessing that if her hair was ever full stretched or straightened she'd be at least mid-back.
• This one may not count, because I lost contact with her. But there was a hairstylist who was natural (she wore her hair flat ironed most of the time). Her hair was MB. At the time I was relaxed with a short, sexy, pixie ‘do. Her hair was long and healthy, but her hairstyles were always basic and plain Jane (aka protective styles), so I wasn’t trying to keep up with her, or get to know her regime…but oh my, how I wish I had her contact information now.
