Regarding the mineral oil: I avoid it, as it is said to do build-up... I prefer natural oils like coconut oil.

Regarding the claw clip: I avoid it, too. I never found one without sharp edges which hurt my hair. :( I prefer Flexis: http://www.flexi8.com/

I do a ponytail and a french twist with them. There are other styles possible, but I don't like them with my curly hair...

Oooh - pretty! so many to choose from.... Thanks for the link - I think!

I think we decided to do towel days the first thursday of the month. So tomorrow! :D

Hi lunamummy! It'll be fun growing with you, as we're both previously bleached and we're both have a 20 inch length. Besides wearing your hair up all of the time, do you use any products in it? How long did it take for your hair to defrizz?

Please expand on your experiences with BSL length. I do not know if everyone, regardless of hair texture, will find that BSL length is "unwieldy," in a sense that it will be a lot more challenging to style even though you can play with more toys?

Ack, please don't take this the wrong way; my hair is very heavy when not thinned out (I have been growing out thinning for about 2 years). I don't plan on doing thinning any time soon; I am in my 50's and don't know whether or not it will thin in it's own time. I was once tailbone length and dealt with it; I've just changed somewhat in my habits. No, it is not that I don't recommend BSL; I thought for at least a week before my cut.

Other styles I wear: not the picturesque ones on LHC that I see all the time--my "go to" style is hair back in an unobtrusive barrette with front hairs clipped back, or two barrettes with temple hairs clipped back. Many times I use one of those Goody metal-free ponytail holders, but you have to be careful with those because of the glue holding the fabric together.

You will find so much information here on how to style hair and what hairtoys are available that it will make for much reading. Have fun with it.

Ok. I did a towel test today... and I am about right with my thoughts of 2 inches to go to APL without trims.

However.... I took about eight bajillion pictures and none were even close to decent. How the heck do you take a photo of the back of your head?!?!?! I swear I got photos of everything else. Crazy. So, until I figure out this back of the head photo trick I'll have to just stick to text.

http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/...ctureid=127522So I just wanted to share with you! I tried to put uo my hair with hairsticks ( actually chinese eating sticks) and it worked! It's not gonna fall out, I can feel it, but don't ask me how I did it. Just some twisting and putting in the sticks :P

Towel test... I'm so faaaar away... I'm really tall so it's a long way to go. About 5-6 inches maybe :(

I love your updo! It's always the way, the spontaneous ones often turn out the best! Hopefully you will be able to repeat it!

Great, a growing twin :D

My hair almost completely defrizzed as soon as I stopped using shampoo, conditioner, hairdryer and straighteners. I don't know which one helped, as I did that all at the same time! I now wash my hair in water once a week with a strong vinegar rinse, and then once a week with a shampoo bar and a weak vinegar rinse. That's all the products I use.
I still have a bit of frizz as you can see in my sig/avatar, but it's bearable. And I think that last bit will go when the bleach grows out, as my natural hair is much smoother. How are you planning to tackle it?
