Congrats on your growth! It looks healthy...yayyy!!

This your hair isn't bone straight you can pin curl it at night and put a scarf over it at night and when you wake up you'll have beautiful curls...with volume

Have a safe trip!

When my hair was straight last week I would gather it as if I was putting it in a high ponytail and do one huge bantu knot...then take it down in the morn. It worked pretty well for keeping the bounce and volume and it was easy to sleep in lol

JC are you still coming to NJ this weekend? Travel safely please

Yes! I forgot about that. I used to do that all the time when I wore my hair straight

Anywho, it has grown quite a bit since July!







I'm supposed to be leaving for NJ today but we are going to be getting about 3" of snow here in ATL today! Not sure what that means for my flight but we shall see.....

Nice pictures, your hair is simply beautiful...straight or curly!!

Hey ladies! I'm in Jersey! My flight left before the Atlanta snow. Last night I did what A85 suggested about the large Bantu knot. I forgot I used to do that sometimes. Its working well so far!
I came here to surprise my dad for his birthday and he was pleasantly surprised! Then he surprised me with an iPod touch! That's how I'm able to check in

Oh by the way, my hair is layered but it seems that many of the layers in the back have grown so much it all blends in. The front still has long layers though.

Glad you had a safe trip. iPod touch...that was a nice surprise!!!

Do you have the volume you are looking for with the Bantu Knots?

Enjoy your weekend with your dad!!!

Thanks! I can't say I have the volume I want but it's better than being stick straight now that there's some wave to it.

Hey...I sent you a PM check it out..or let me know if you didn't get it.

Your hair is beautiful and looks so healthy!!! Glad the bantu knots worked for you. That was a great surprise from your dad. You must be a daddy's girl.

Love how the FLS turned out! I'm gonna try dome flaxseed gel too, I've been itching to do that. And by the by, could you please shave your head, sew it on a wig, and ship it to me? Don't wanna hear no lip if you please, just get it done.

Hee-hee!!! LOVE your hair!!!

Good one Blondie!

OMG!! I am not sure how I missed this but YOUR HAIR IS BEAUTIFUL!!! O M G!!! is it still straight or di you go back to your curls? what did you do? I agree if you did a roller set on big rollers it would give your more volume. Did I say OMG???

I remember when that happened Sweet! And because of that I'm extra careful in the bathroom lol! But I LOVE this iPod though! I never had a desire to get one (although I always thought they were cool) but now I can't put it down!

I am going to treat myself and replace it. The first one was a gift and I swear I LOVED that thing!! So I so understand when you say you can't put it down.

I was looking back on all the other pages in your thread and you are like the bun queen!!! You're so creative with them and they're always so beautiful and full of shine

I was just checking in with yah!!! Lynn suggested that I check with you cause I'm going to blow out my hair tonight. Just wanted to see what you would suggest that I use...

Hope all is well with you.....be blessed
