Good for you,girl!! I know how it feels. I had enough hair this year to do a puff,but dangit, it was the how to do a puff that was getting me! I finally got the hang of it,though.
I would suggest simply cornrowing your hair while moist at night, then unbraiding and finger combing in the morning and finger/hand "patting" it into place. I did that a lot while my hair was at your length.
Thanks everybody for all the encouragement and advice!!! I would do a personal thanx to everyone...but my pc is acting a mess so I havent been able to log on all day. Couldnt do it without you guys!
Im not going to blowdry BTW, cuz I dont have one! so um I couldnt do it even if I wanted to.
My next goal will be the ponypuff. Dont know how long that will take, but we'll see
Yay!!! You go! You hair looks exactly like mine! My last relaxer was Dec. 19th and just this month I've been able to get it up in a nice full puff! I can't wait till I can put it in a ponytail on top of my head and still have a nice big puff! That's my next goal! That'll take about 6 or 7 inches of hair so hopefully I'll be there by end of year! Congratulations on meeting your 1st goal!! Way to go!!
