I too have taco bell head as it dries. Hopefully by the end of the year I'll be closer to BSL and less flippy.

I had read this whole entire thread before posting, and the flippy thing seems to be a very big problem for many people at this length!
I stalked this thread too lol twinsies.Quote:

I'm pretty sure by the time I'm at APL, the flippy stage will be over. My hair was at APL April 2016 and I don't remember it being a problem.
Hee Hee! :hifive:Quote:

This is the longest I've ever been so I have no idea when my hair will stop "flipping out". Each day is a new experience :)Quote:

I remember one of my frustrations when I last had long hair was that the ends would always just head off in strange directions - it'd look great until about 2 inches from the ends, then it was all over the place. Cutting the ends never helped, so I'm pretty sure it was never damage, it's just part of my wave pattern and is just something I'm going to have to learn to love, or to tame in buns and braids! I'm only just learning that lesson though!
It seems like with wavy hair you need just the right length so your ends don't end in the middle of a wave and flip out. Seeing as wavy hair needs length to develop.Quote:
