Thanks for all the love ladies, I really appreciate it!!
I was really ready for a change, like I mentioned before every 3 or 4 years I want my hair short, it consumes me, so I'll take the scissors and cut. I have already received so many compliments by random folks today. I got up and washed it this morning (no detangling at all
), and within a 1/2 hr. I did my little fingercurls which will last me a week. It feels great!
My husband told me to donate my hair to Locks of Love, but the hair has to be washed first (I didn't do it), and I believe it has to be in one braid or ponytail, so I saved 3 twists, and threw the rest in the garbage.
@Kweenameena, I cowash my daughter's hair 2x a month. I detangle in the shower which takes about 1/2hr to 45mins., then I will braid it and let it airdry naturally, she'll wear it natural the first week, then I will lightly flatiron it the 2nd week (the photos in my album are of lightly flatironed hair), then week 3 I do it all over again. I don't brush her hair through everyday, I will brush the edges, and by the end of the week it's frizzy enough for me to do it over. Everywhere I go people are like
Oh my God her hair is so long!!!!
.
Again, thanks for the positive responses, I'm still going to be on the boards, hoping to add my 2 cents to help someone else out whenever possible.
. You ladies are the best!!!!!
