It did! That's what sold me on it.

Same, same... XD
If my hair were half an inch longer, it would make it. I guess that means one more month. *sigh*
Why are my knees so far away from APL? My hair has a lot of growing to do.

Yeah the last inch or so is a killer

Agreed! I'm waiting for that last inch. I might jump back on the miconazole nitrate bandwagon and see how it goes. I've been trying to "ignore" my hair for the most part.

Hey! I posted in the super-shorties thread earlier (because I'm growing out from chin length), but I think this may be more where I belong now. I'm baaaarely back at shoulder length, and know from past cutting and growing cycles that this is pretty much the hardest length for getting my waves to behave. I can pull my hair into a spiky ponytail, but the only professional-looking updo I can manage right now requires a couple dozen bobby pins and at least 20 minutes to produce. I've sworn off heat-styling, so hair-down work 'do options are mostly unavailable right now unless i'm having an exceptional hair day. I know this will all be much better in a few months when I have a few more inches of length (assuming I don't trim them to get rid of the last of the dyed highlights), but does anyone have any good shoulder length updos for thick, wavy hair? I'm getting desperately tired of my faux-pompadour / faux-French twist thingamajig. Thanks for any help!
