Thank you :-) I cut it to shoulder length back in the spring for something different. I'm over the different now. haha

Well at least you're in the right place to grow it back out

eternalsplits, your hair is definitely looking healthy post-trim! So full and thick

Thanks Samantha

It feels better now, but I do miss the length. Maybe it will grow back healthier this time around.

Today's bun (I'm challenging myself to wear my hair up for 30 days): Cinnabun, Forest Patch ead's.

If that is your natural texture, you are definitely more of a 2c!

Oh no, I'm sorry I missed these sweet comments, I was traveling and also am about to move cross country. How then do I have the time to take hair photos? Taking pics for 15-20 minutes is sometimes the best way for me to detach, play, and relax, before I go back to packing another box or playing phone-tag with Uhaul.

Thank you! At first, this made me giggle because I got caught up on the videogame-esque costuming as "timeless classic," but then I thought a little more and I realized that the editing I did with cropping and color correction afterwards does make a difference. And is probably based on more traditionally classic art that I've seen and absorbed over the years. Thanks for posting a comment that made me think!

This empty flat is just the perfect place for hair pictures and you are so good to find how to make the best of it !

Thanks! I have been wondering what else to do with photos in the wrecked flat next door now that I've already done the combat boots & braid combo that screams Lara Croft. Certainly not going to have my hair down in that dust!

Hehehe, thank you! It was fun to dress up. Although I didn't leave my building wearing that style. I wonder the reactions I'd get if walked like that down the street.

Probably a lot of aggravation!

Thank you, Tosca! I must admit, I'm really happy that my taper doesn't become extreme until the last 18" of my braid. And if I don't braid all of it and instead leave a long tassel, it's easier to hide the thinness.

I wish it was! Those were some nice bun waves :-) I'll have to see what it's like as it grows back out though. I was wearing it bunned for work every day, but now I won't have to!
