...I was asked by at least 5 different women at church last night! All I could think about was my sisters here on the forum. I posted on Monday that I just got my relaxer Friday, so by Tuesday my hair is in now bone straight and really showing the length. Of course I did not go into a big spill and let them know all of our secrets. I just commented that I stopped getting relaxers frequently and shared with them that I have had only 3 relaxers this year. Their mouth really dropped then. One even commented that I must have good hair. Can you believe that? One sister was really shocked and in disbelief. She commented that my hair is usually curly (like my avatar) and you could not tell how long it really was until I got my relaxer. I wanted to laugh. One lady could not wait for bible study to end because as soon as he dismissed she started questioning what was I doing to my hair. The thing is, my hair is not even long yet. Their mouth would really drop if they saw some of the heads on here. Oh, even one of the brothers at church walked up and commented "you letting your hair grow out". I teased him and told him that I'm letting it grow so that I can do the white girl toss. It's a good feeling to know that all of your work is not done in vain; the stretching, the pre-poos, extra cond, rollersets, fingercombing, the dreadful bunning and etc. Thanks to all of the wonderful tips here, I'm on my way to APL! Did you ladies get this question at the beginning of growing your hair long?

Your hair is lovely, I know why they are asking for the secrets. My hair isn't even as long as your and people have asked me what I have been doing. I personally think I could use another trim, one more henna treatment and d/c this week but everyone thinks it looks good so who and I to argue
I am hoping that using your tips to stretch with help get me over the shoulder length hump once and for all in the next couple of months, no later than Feb. 2008. Just wait until you hit bra-strap length which won't be long with the way you are going now.
since none of the labels were in English, she had no clue what was going on, the only the she could read was the JBCO and she asked if that's what I'd been using. I just simply confirmed, and said among other things lol. I wore a straight blowout the other weekend to a wedding and my cousin just commented that he didn't know my hair was that long again and every time he walked by he'd say in his big booming raspy voice, "fling it again, girl!" it was pretty funny.
You will probably have more church ladies than usual sitting next to you and especially behind you this Sunday.
Anyhoo, family members swear its a weave, even anonoymous(sp?-sorry) posters on my fotki ask me if I am wearing a weave. I delete them now. I wonder what people will say when I finally hit BSL. Heck, I wonder what I'm going to say?
