Wow! My hair has really...

[donna'sdaughter]

Gotten quite thick! I've been following the sme castor oil and olive oil routine and my hair is growing really nicely-if I do say so myself. I'm really excited because I'm graduating in December and I though I won't reach my goal of tailbone by then, I've still had some pretty good growth. It took me an hour to blow dry my 'fro, so I hope you ladies (and gent) enjoy the pics!* Hope my pics don't eat the screen!

Wow! I love your fro! :)

[donna'sdaughter]

Thanks love! I've learned to love it too-my hair's much healthier without me straightening it all the time.

Well I would say so too :D. Glorious hair!

[katsrevenge]

Lovely hair there! (Both ways, natural and blown out.)

[donna'sdaughter]

thank you for the kind compliment Creatureling ( I love that name-it made me giggle) lol

[donna'sdaughter]

You gals are so sweet. It's been a long road coming from fried hair that was shedding and breaking off like crazy. I'm kinda sad that I didn't meet my goal but hey, I can't have everything all at once! I'll just keep doing what I've been doing and hopefully I get there (tailbone) in due time. Maybe by the summer if I'm reeeaaaly nice to my strands.

[SpinDance]

Oh wow, your hair is so awesome!! Lovely progress. Congratulations also on your graduation in December.

[katsrevenge]

I'm hoping for tailbone by summer too... or if I'm extremely lucky.. classic! Here is to our hair luck being great!!

[lindaton]

Wow look at that shine and how long it is. Very pretty.

I like big hair and I can not lie! Your blow-out is a thing of beauty and so is your straightened hair.

If you don't mind me asking, what is your straightening regimen? (products/technique you use).

[Aimskylove]

Great progress! How long have you been using castor oil. I bought it a long time ago but find it too thick for my liking. lol.

Thank you! I simply blow dry(without any oil) because I don't want to fry it.Then I take a bit of coconut oil and rub it down the length of my hair. Sometimes, I switch it up and use olive oil instead. The oil gives the hair a nice shine.

I've been using the castor oil for about a year now. I use it only at night and only every other day. By the time I wake up in the morning, my scalp has absorbed most of the castor oil. It is quite thick :) hehe!

[donna'sdaughter]

The kindness and camaraderie is one of the reasons I joined LHC. You guys give the best compliments and make all the oiling and staying away from straightening worthwhile.

[starshade]

I love your hair both ways- it looks so thick and beautiful :)

[princessp]

Wow you have pretty amazing hair, congrats on your progress!

[jesis]

Looks great!

[lapispimpernel]

Wow! I love your fro! :)

Seconding this! It really is great- any super curly hair just oozes joy to me. :D I hope you reach your goal quickly & post a bunch of pics for us when you do.

Gorgeous, gorgeous hair. Just some more proof that castor oil works wonders. Can I ask, did you always have such great shine or do you think the castor oil helped with that too?

[kanaka]

Beautiful hair! i love how thick it looks and it is amazing :)

I am hoping for tailbone too by summer and 3 inches away. i need trims in between to grow my my layers and to thicken my ends as well and i am thinking of trying castor oil too

Happy growing :)

[honeydippedxo]

Thick thick luscious loveliness. <3
I love the wild curls, it's very Diana Ross C: sexyy.

[Celtic Morla]

That is incredible!! WOW!! How interesting that it is as long as it is!

I love it! Do you ever braid it to try to keep the kink down? Just curious about what you do to control it without blow drying it

I do it keep it braided, twisted, or in a bun most of the time-not to tame the kink, but to protect it. Afro textured hair is extremely fragile.

Why thank you mam!

The oil definitely helped with the shine. My hair was dry and brittle before my oil routine. You'd be surprised to see the difference in thickness too. My hair used to be quite thin.

Beautiful wildness! And sooo long, how long did it take for you to get there?

I've been actively growing my hair from a little below shoulder length to the length it is now for about 3 years. It's taken me a long time and a lot of protection to get to where I'm at now.

[summergreen]

Ohhhh fab hair!! I love the 'fro, it looks amazing straight as well!

[*Seraphina*]

Wow great hair!

[lapushka]

Congratulations! It looks awesome!

[DarkChocolate]

Your hair has such a pretty shine:) Curly hair is deceiving since you never really know how long it is until you straighten it:)

[donna'sdaughter]

thanks ladies. I washed last night, oiled, and now I'm back in braids. Really going to toughen up my routine so I an reach my goal. The last few inches are torture to wait for. UGHHH , I can't stand it.

[Tressie]

Your hair looks wonderful both ways! Congratulations on your great growth. beautiful healthy hair, and graduation~ :flower:

[Lostsoule77]

Your hair is beautiful both ways! Good luck on getting to your goal. Congratulations on your impending graduation. :)

[jojo]
