Congrats on making SL. Are you relaxed?

I am relaxed!, The first pic was after I relaxed from being natural for 2 yrs. I retain length better as relaxed. Thank you!

Congratulations! It would be great to reach both SL and APL in one year. You are going to be very close.

This style is so nice! This is a great go to style!

Evolving78 · Oct 18, 2016

I plan on washing my hair today. Blow dry it, flat iron, then keep it moving. I will wash again Saturday.

Thank you. I rarely do it the same way twice. I'm hoping as it gets longer that will be easier to do since it will probably be in a flat twist bun. I also get lazy and will throw a barrette on versus trying to pin it.

LdyKamz · Oct 20, 2016

I've decided to stay away from heat. December will be my last flat iron and then I'm going to see if I can go a full 6 months without it. Now I'll definitely have to figure out new styles for my hair.

faithVA · Oct 20, 2016

Wash day was painful. My back was killing me. Every twist was misery. I really need to stretch more.

faithVA · Oct 20, 2016

I'm tired of flat twist. Next weekend I. Doing a curl formers set for an event. I'm looking forward to it. I probably just need a two week break. I use to wear two strands for 2 weeks. I wonder if I can. Do that now. I haven't done that in years.

gvin89 · Oct 25, 2016

I feel you on that @faithVA . I'm always looking for a new style. Thankfully, my stylist loves trying new styles on me. The latest style is 2 inverted cornrows braided diagonally with spirals in a side bang.

Can you get it braided up for the time period?

Evolving78 · Oct 25, 2016

Giving myself an oil treatment now. will wash and DC. Not sure how I will style. I got a lot of work to finish up today. I may roller set. If I do, it will be curly and I will wear a headband.

Oh I plan on getting some new scissors too. I don't need a trim, but I will be trimming my daughter's hair soon.

Yes way too long. I was trying to cut splits out of my hair while doing a mud wash. I've done it before but my back has never hurt like that. I just need to stretch more. I know better.

gvin89 · Oct 26, 2016

Not motivated to do anything to my hair....

I'd like to leave it out because I want to wash often and detangle. Seeing how my nape grew in and all the curls back there will keep me on track for a little while. I just know I will get bored doing the bantu knots. Experimenting again should be fun though.

Heyyyy Ladies!!! I can't believe October is almost a wrap...I need to up my everything to feel comfortable about a December reveal!!

I'm pretty sure you will be fine. Your last update looked good.

faithVA · Oct 28, 2016

I keep pulling my nape to see if it is any closer to APL :nono:

It looks like it is in the exact same spot it was last year.

I'm hoping I have a surprise when I straighten in December. When my hair is wet I can at least get the back in a ponytail. that's some type of progress. :yep:

But my nape isn't really growing a whole lot. I can pull my hair down and see length but when I try to pull it up towards my crown my nape doesn't reach. Not sure what to do with the nape to stop the struggle.

Me too! I have been so busy! I have been washing and conditioning, but no styling. I will wash/ condition again today and style.

Finally styled my hair. It looks nice! I may put some flexi rods in it tonight, if I don't wanna sleep pretty. I forgot to get one of those hair wrap things that keeps wraps in place. I got my hot rollers, so I may use those tomorrow for date night. I know I said I would wait to show you ladies a pic, but I'll sneak it in here, so you can see my length. I have cut enough and my ends look good, so I just need to maintain them until my next touch up in Dec.

Beautiful healthy hair and color!

Colored my hair yesterday. Now I'm sitting under the dryer with my curlformers in. Another hour to go.

faithVA · Oct 30, 2016

Here's my curlformers set. It looks fuller than it did in the spring but no hang time yet.

victory777 · Oct 30, 2016

It looks great Ms. @faithVA !!
