I just wanted to share something, I can finally get my hair to hold with a fork! It's just a peacock twist, and a pretty messy one at that, but it feels like a huge milestone :D

I don't love the fork but it was cheap and is good for practising with. I've just ordered these sticks which I like much better (two of them, I don't think one will hold my hair just yet).

Here's my late TTT picture:

I finally broke down and decided to open a photo bucket account. It turns out I already had one, with pictures in it from 6 years ago! My hair was so long then, and now I am reminded of how much I miss it.
Congratulations! I can't wait until I can do a good peacock twist. I can get a messy one in with a clip, but it doesn't stay for long.Quote:

Great twist, palaeoqueen!
Well, folks, I think I'm gonna call it: I'm now at APL. The longest layer of my dry second-day hair falls below the towel line, and still brushes the towel line on the first day after wash when it's curlier. I'm off to the APL-BSL thread, although I may still look in here occasionally. Happy growing, everyone!
hah, that would only frustrate me, mine is on the instep of my foot :DQuote:

Congrats palaeoqueen! Your twist looks awesome and I think the fork is cute too(well, at least you have one, while I still don't, though I plan on buying one! :D).
Congratulations!:cheese: Everyone who graduates gives us more hope!(and less patience, but that's fine :D)Quote:

Way to go, Charybdis!!! I'm still maybe 2-3 inches shy of the towel line... crossing my fingers for my new supplements to boost growth speed.
Remember how just today I was talking about how I can't yet do real stick buns? Well I decided to check and OH MY GOD it finally works!!!!
Blurry, but here's my first solid stick (pencil) bun :D :D :D :D
(plus henna)
