The Best Day Ever!!

Hello my fellow bloggers!! Just wanted to drop a line and check-in on all of you. I am keeping up even though I am not blogging as much. I am going to do better, but life has me RUNNING! Well, I don't have much to report other than.... I GOT ENGAGED YESTERDAY!!! I can't describe how I feel, and mainly it's because I get to marry my best friend. I couldn't have asked for more!

Late again...

I did it again. I slowed down on my blogging and I even missed my year anniversary (March 13th). Well, better late than never. It has now been a year, and I have to say, I am proud of what I have accomplished. There were a lot of times that I didn’t know if I was going to make it with theses SLs, but I DID! I can now say that I am in-love with them and I have a renewed appreciation for my beautiful babies. My hair is growing like crazy, the texture is changing, and I now know what my hair needs in order to be happy. My regimen is really simple, and I am free from the chemicals. I have not dyed my hair yet, and as of right now, I don’t have any plans to do so anytime soon. All and all, I am happy and I hope after this move to our new spot I can catch back up on my blogging. Anyway, here are some pictures I took TODAY after taking down the pipe cleaner curls I put in last night. I like the tight curl, but I need to learn the art of giving them the spiral look... Oh one more thing...ALL OF YOU ARE LOOKING AWESOME TOO! Keep it up!

Just Pictures...again

So, I had a bad hair moment today. So what do I do to turn it around? I am posting pictures...LOL... it works. These are random.

BLAH!

I am not in love with my hair today. Maybe it’s the weather, but I feel absolutely BLAH about it. That is all. Will try again tomorrow, and no, I have not attempted the ‘Let’s Jam’ experiment as of yet.

Two Questions...

Two questions…

Question one: What’s the longest you guys have gone between retightenings? Initially, I was going every four weeks, now I am going every 6 weeks, and I am beginning to feel like I could go every 7 to 8 weeks based on the middle section of my head, but the front would def need to be done sooner.

The fact that I am not waiting longer to get my hair done, it has prompted me to learn to do my RETIs myself. I know some people took the class, and others have not. I definitely can’t afford it, especially with me trying to go to grad school. I need to save anyway I can. So that leads me to question two: For those of you who use the NL tool, and looked through the instructions, do you find it was easy to reti your hair? I know there are LOTS of Youtube vids out there. I am thinking of asking my stylist to show me how. At least I would be able to do my edges to start.

For those of you who took the class, how much was it? I have searched for a class in ATL and I didn’t see anything, but I could have been looking at something wrong or I could have overlooked it. I dunno, maybe I will try to save up for that too, but I am thinking of buying the NL tool.

*UPDATE* I did find the cost of the class. $@250, not bad, was it worth it??

Just pictures

Nothing special to share. These are pictures from a party last weekend. I am playing around with my hair, so here is my attempt at an updo..LOL

So….

Hello everyone!

I have not tried the ‘Let’s Jam’ experiment just yet, but I am going to do it! I just wanted to drop a quick note and see how you guys are doing. I know it’s coming up on a year for a lot of us, and I have a question: Is the status of your hair where you thought it would be thus far? How are you feeling right now? Would you have done anything differently?
