I'm actually considering sitting this month out :(Quote:

I also don't have a way of getting a decent picture :p hopefully DF will be amenable to taking one soonish :rolleyes:
I'm currently busy with a little NW/SO experiment (yeah, I know, it's a little extreme, I just like to experiment :cool:) and my hair, well, ugh, may look a little ...*cough*... oily?? Anyway, just consider this a warning as I still want to do the towel test (I missed the last one) and I think (hope?) I had quite some growth going on...
:guns:
I'm skipping the treatment this week. My hair is still incredibly soft and managable from Sunday's conditioner, and I'd like to keep it that way.
Plus I'm contemplating visiting my hairdresser tomorrow for some colour-help, but I could just as well change my mind :-) I'm in for the TTT though!
do I want to know what the towel test is? it sounds ominous....Quote:

It's lots of fun and a good way to get a glimpse at many a beautiful head of hair.Quote:

Since you asked you're most certainly expected to join in with pictures ;) :D
As for other traditions, there is also "Treatment Tuesday", which is every Tuesday when people share the treatment they did that day and last month there was also the first round of a "Hair Toy Wednesday" (ugh, I think it actually had a more clever name which I can't remember...) which takes place on the second Wednesday of a month when people show styles with their favorite hair toys (That one might cost you a lot of money as it is filled with evil enabling ;))
nice! and when you hit the towel you're officially APL? I've been WONDERING how to tell!
Depending on how you wrap the towel, you can cheat a bit ;):DQuote:

I've never participated in tt as I don't usually do extra treatments. Besides Monistat and catnip. LOL. But my wash days are Sunday and Wednesday. But this week I'm waiting for a treatment to arrive. So I'll mention it now and tell you results next week as I'm doing it on Sunday. I got a half cup off the swap board of oatstraw, nettle, horsetail and henna. It is to be mixed with vinegar and egg. I'll keep you posted on how it goes.
V excited :) I'm going to be doing mine today as today is hair wash day.Quote:
