Well you and i both. I just want 3 more inches to make styling easier. Then i don't care how fast my hair grows. A long as it's healthy and is not breaking, i will be ok.

. That is bun city for me.

My hair at this length straightens out pretty well from the slicking of phony ponies. But the stretching gives me a better idea of my current length. I wouldn't mind wearing my hair down straightened but I don't think I can do all that heat. Not after undoing do many years of brainwashing thinking I HAD to wear my hair straight you know.

I'm happy to say that I have been wearing my twist/braid outs without headband and I like it. I also rocked a curly fro, but I added a little flower only cause I was volunteering at a pediatric center that day. The kids really liked my hair, and the flower. One of the little girl's mom said I make the place look like we were on vacation in the Caribbean somewhere. Here are some pictures. To another week of beautiful TWAs.

After watching 100 YT videos, I decided to try my Ian flat twist. Did not do bad for a first time. Excuse the craziness in the back. I was getting tired and this part is shorter and for some reason so awkward to twist. I will try to wear it out to work tonight. Will post pictures good or bad. If anything I will just put it in a puff. Wish me luck.

ronie. Your curls look nice. What did you use on your twist out in the pics? Your flat twists are coming along nice. They are good enough to do a flat twist out. And you will be really good at it soon enough with some practice
Thanks faithVA. I used the Shea moisture curl and style milk as my leave in and moisturizer. I sealed with wheat germ oil ( just a little bit cause the smell is a bit strong). I twisted with qhemet amla nourishing pomade. That's how I always do my twists. Sometimes I use just my leave in then the oil and the qhemet. When I do it on dry hair I skip the oil, cause then my hair is not freshly wash, and too much layering will make it dull.

Ooooo. So my scarf slipped off last night. Was sleeping with my hair buttered and loose from yesterdays flat twist out. Thought id have a nightmare when I got up.
Ha! Best and easiest 2ND day hair! Olive oil and ran my fingers thru it. Wish it was always that easy.

I'm really considering flat ironing my hair and seeing if I like wearing it out like that.
I just have to make sure I don't heat damage it. Figure I can flat iron once a week and just wrap it at night
What are your thoughts guys?

From what I've seen of your hair you could probably rollerset it just as easily and get it straight without any heat damage unless you are just trying to wear it straight.
If you aren't trying to gain length, then flat ironing once a week will work. There are very few women who can flat iron that often and grow it out.

NYE side boob.
it depends on what it takes to wear your hair straight. for me, the manipulation would be the problem not necessarily the heat.
no one is taking my hair advice irl seriously right now guys
i was all like "deep condition blah blah blah" to a friend yesterday and she was looking at me all skeptical. i'm like umm hello i had hair just a few months ago i may be baldheadded now but i didn't forget

Girl same here! Nan-nobody wants to listen to me now! And I'm.always like "hello! Mc Fly! I was tbl natural and you saw it!"
But its ok, when I'm tbl again and they're still at a chopped up sl they'll be back asking for advise they won't take cause "that's too much work" or "well that probably works for your hair but my hair is different"
Heifer! I share a lot of the same practices as girls with 4b-z hair and I read their stories! Tell me I don't know!
Sorry... Litter flash back vent there lol

Roller setting would work but I want it straight and I have never figured out wet wrapping. Though now my hair is shorter it might work.,
I'll try that before flat ironing.
But my hair actually grows fairly well with heat as long as I pay very close attention to the temp and frequency. I thinks its because wearing my hair straight leads to less manipulation, at least at my longer lengths it did. I would often trade in that reggie for the winter time.
I stopped cause I was lazy but my hair retained the same with the same twice a year trim...
But right now I am kinda refusing to trim so I dunno.... I will play around with it and see what happens

You are definitely NL.
So what's your plan? You are going to go to the SL challenge after you reach SL?
Looking at the striped shirt you have on in your pic, You probably only have about 4" to SL. SL on you is probably that 2nd full solid gray line. I'm guessing of course since I can't see the rest of the shirt but I think that is close. Even if it is a little more you will be SL sometime this year.
