Checking in -- hit my one year nappiversary, got a trim a month before that, and my ends are still holding up. The events of January/February had me shook, but lesson learned is that in the wintertime I need to be more careful of what is going on with my ends, which probably means more straight hair via rollersetting and flat ironing *just the roots* from November through Feb/March. To further ensure they stay healthy, I'm going into braids soon (I keep setting a date on that, but it always comes and goes because I am too busy to put the dag-on things in) and will keep them at least through the end of August.
