July 2007... My hair has always been at shoulder in the back and mid cheek in the front... but I had drastically started chopping away at the no-lyed hair and damage. I wore buns all the time and wanted to be natural but had been confused. This is the shortest my hair has been since joining... because I was chopping at overprocessed hair.

I say my hair type is 4a for the most part. The back looks 3c when it's wet, it's just really loose and curly. I have a lot of curls and coils that shrink a lot when they aren't properly moisturized.

This was the last time I straightened: Father's Day 2008...

This is from Nov/Dec ... texture shots. I have used SE Mild Lye 2wice but I underprocessed it both times and my hair reverted almost 100%... I think that I really don't want to put a chem in again, but I am open to it... I'm chemically altered but it doesn't look or act that way....because I never let it process lol.

Re: WOW - I Might Be APL - PICS Inside

Okay LHCFers... my sister is flatironing my hair now... and my hair feels like butter. She pulled it down to show me where it was (I felt the area) and I know it's not BSL or midback, but it really feels like I been sleeping on my hair (ignoring the growth) and the progress I've been making. DH said my hair was hitting APL but I was lie pfft yea right... I kinda won't believe the length until I see for myself to be honest!

Yea this thread is worthless without pics but I will have a reveal coming in a few hours. I'm all excited... I said I wouldn't straighten or post until I really "got somewhere" with my hair.

Girl I feel you, I just made armpit length.....I mean my back is just touching the top of my armpit and the front is already armpit.....I just did a touch up and it underprocess, so I still have tons of new growth, so I'm def armpit length, my hair seems so much longer...........Congrats if you are.....

Thanks, they have these BRIGHT apple red color rinses at Sally's and Hot Topic. The names and brands aren't really important... but I just used the brightest reds... I went heavy handed on using the color and then covered it with ORS Hair Mayo and used the microwave steam method - Wet a towel or turbie twist, and microwave it for 60 secs, then put it on top of your hair (which is covered by a plastic cap)... left it for about an hour.
