Sure looks to me like you're at hip! Your curls are gorgeous. Look forward to seeing you on the waist to TB thread. :)

Beautiful hair! I'd say you are at hip stretched. ....
.....and I thought I had shrinkage?:shrug:

[enfys]

I agree with "hip" and "beautiful" :D

[RavennaNight]

Looks like hip length to me! And very pretty:)

[jujube]

Holy shrinkage!

I really love how healthy and shiny your hair is, the curls are super well-defined.

[donna'sdaughter]

thank you so much for the responses and compliments! Its kinda funny to look at pictures from months ago and say, "Dang my hair was dried out!" I know now that my hair loves EVOO and that Castor oil DOES work!

[Othala]

Great hair. Welcome to hip length!

[einna]

your hair is amazing!! Seems like it grows pretty fast too, wich is must bee good considering the schrinkage ;)

[spitfire511]

Wow! Ditto the others - those curls are beautiful. Congrats on the healthy growth!

You always get a nice surprise with shrinkage because you never really see the true length from day to day. One day you get the urge to stretch it and BOOM! * It's kinda cool actually-and staying away from extreme heat (straightening has helped my growth along with Castor oil).

Beautiful curls!! Congrats on your growth!! How do you use castor oil for growth, I mean how did/do you use it and how much do you think it helped with your growth? Details, details, LOL:D:D

I'm happy for the chance to share :) I wash with Chagrin Valley shampoos (once a week), then dip my finger in Castor oil and oil my scalp while its still damp. I do this at night because Castor oil has the tendency to look very greasy on the scalp. I rub olive oil through the rest of my hair and braid or twist it up for the night. When I wake up in the morning, my scalp has absorbed the Castor oil-I only use it after washing and no more until the next wash. Try it-I'm sure you'll get amazing results.

Thank you!! I think I just might give it a go :eyebrows:!!

Thank you!

I am using castor oil, arnica oil and MSM cream on my scalp a few times a week. I hade a terrible shed last year and lost 3/4" in my ponytail, but I'm starting to recover from that.

[Fufu]

Beautiful curls :)

[Tikwichka]

Stunning!!

[Dragon]

I too am falling deep in love with Castor oil lol! Your hard work has made a noticeable and amazing difference. Keep it up!

[donna'sdaughter]

thank you (too all the lovely ladies) for your kind compliments. My curls have long been my sworn enemies, but I'm learning to embrace them and they're loving me back for it.

[Cupofmilk]

wonderful curls. I agree it's hip length. See you on the waist to tb thread too.

[curlymarcia]

Your hair looks so shiny!

[donna'sdaughter]

Your hair looks so shiny!
The magic of extra virgin olive oil! lol

[RadiantNeedle]

Wonderful shiny hypno-curls! @_@

[julliams]

Gorgeous shiney curls!! I have just started using caster oil too. So do you use it straight or do you mix it with another oil? I haven't used it straight yet as I'm afraid it might make my roots gummy. I have been putting it on the night before I wash but I might try your method whilst the hair is wet as this makes sense to me.

[torrilin]

That's the kind of curly hair I wanted as a little girl. Soooo pretty :)

[Lostsoule77]

Your hair looks gorgeous and at hip. :) That is some amazing shrinkage, WOW. :thumbsup:

I use it straight, and it can get a little thick and gummy, but if you oil around, say 6 pm, I'm usually good to go when I wake up around 7 the next morning. HTH

[donna'sdaughter]

Thank you for all the lovely compliments ladies-it really made my day and lets me know my hard work is not in vain lol.

Thank you. I wash with Chagrin valley shampoo bars, condition with VO5, and oil my scalp with Castor oil and my hair shaft with olive oil. That's pretty much it!
