Hi all I am quietly slipping in here. Hair is now at collarbone and a lonnnnnng way from APL

I'm loving these pictures. Here is my hair in the sun. Ignore the leaf in my bun. I took it out as soon as I took the picture. :lol:

Welcome! :waving: I've been getting antsy over trimming some of my thin ends but I liked JasminxCat's idea of leaving the imperfect ends to soak...

Beautiful buns everyone! I need to watch some tutorials and learn something new, I have been wearing a LWB nearly everyday for a year now. Thanks for...

I haven't read through an entire thread in one sitting for a loooong time. Everyone has such amazing photos. So many shiny, magical heads of hair...

Ooh, very nice! I think you have a bit of wave to your hair, am I remembering right? I'm excited to see what your textures looks like as it grows :)

Argh! You got me! I’m a sucker for a “try it” discount code. :) I got a hair product sampler pack from ethique a month or so ago. I am a longtime...

I braid a bit of yarn (maybe 6 inches worth?) into the last two or so inches of my braid then wrap the yarn around the braid and tie the yarn around...

Number one on my list: 1. Wella Shockwaves Volume Mousse. Now I can use my two gels and let's hope I won't buy a new mousse soon:p

That's great! Strangely me too. But it's not because I'm doing everything right, yet. I've noticed a strong seasonal component over the years. My...

Was in a bun, with a lovely 4-prong jeta. Now it’s loose.

Don't know if it is what you are looking for, but for small, I find Proclaim's superstretch professional braiding rubber bands work well for me....

I bought some baby / kids hair ties but they were such rubbish quality and after one use fell apart to reveal strands of harsh nylon. So I’m back to...

Aww, that's unfortunate. I hope you find something!

Welcome! Gorgeous colour, like autumn leaves. The others have already given you good advice. Less is definitely more and be super gentle. Mine has...

A French braid

Same! I can do tighter pigtails like I usually did a few years ago again for bedtime. Finally.

My hair is getting easier to braid! I just put it up in a French braid to see how it holds and it feels so much more secure than just last month.

We'd love to see your progress wherever you wanted to post!

This might be a stupid question, but have you searched for baby / kids' hair ties? A fair handful came up of the soft ones I think you mean when I...

I'm late to the party, but I think I might end up doing this challenge by accident/pandemic-induced inertia regardless so I may as well join now so I...

Thank you Bright! I had a quick click through the video. That's a really cute workaround but, unfortunately, woefully impractical for my lifestyle.:(

Instead of posting on the monthly photo thread, maybe I should start posting on here instead until I reach APL. I feel this might be a tad more...

Not a braider myself (my hair's too short at the moment) but PeonyBlue shared this Morgan Donner video for using ribbons/tape instead of hair ties...
