Corvana indeed indeed, what could have happened two years ago...?

Also I have to say this even though it's OT but every time I see your profile I'm reminded of my next tattoo that is currently living in my brain being designed! Yes it's going to be a corvid of some stripe lol.

knobbly, that's awesome; looking great!

draysmir, that is such a pretty style, and the contrast of that pretty blue ribbon is what truly makes it a winner in my book!

The only thing that has worked for me is taping my hair with ribbon. It takes a bit to do but is quite sturdy and I think quite pretty. It held for a few days when I was around classic length.

Here's what it looked like when I tried it:

In the top-view photo, it appears like your braids are french braids? Which means that by looping the ribbon through the weave of the braid, you can get grip, that you couldn't get on unbraided, flat scalp hair?

For a little bit at least I'm almost tempted to maintain for a bit at classic to stay in the thread with you for a bit more But I'm too excited for henna in the summer (or so) when I hit FTL stretched, so I'd die to maintain now LOL But the next couple months will be nice

It sure is a mystery!

I LOVE corvids!! I use a little crow I drew a year ago or so as my icon for most things because I love it so much.

Corvana I completely understand I maintained at hip for a while which is why it took me so long to get here I really wasn’t in a rush him but like you said for a while at least I’d be very happy and I will be checking for you in the next thread

I maybe should maintain at classic for a while, but I know myself well enough to know I'd get frustrated with not being at my goal yet. Back when I was first here I was growing out a mohawk and waiting for the sides to catch up with the top and back was awful. I even cut a little prematurely so that I could just hurry up and GROW again instead of waiting. Once I'm at my goal, though, I won't have that urge anymore, and so I know I'll be fine to maintain. At least for a while I suspect I might try to keep going to knee... But FTL stretched (getting there wavy would be amazing, but I'm fine not doing so as most of my texture is lost with this length) is my main goal and the length I told myself I needed to get to in order to try henna. I figured if I was gonna be maintaining there, growing out the henna if I didn't like it would just happen on its own anyway. (And if I do eventually go for knee, I'd like to do it slower, with microtrimming, because past TBL my ends get pretty fragile which I wasn't prepared for this time around and I want to take that into account in the future. So if I want to go for knee and hate henna, it'll still get trimmed out while I go!)

That’s definitely a great plan I definitely want to get to ftl at least once but at this point all my wave is gone

Mine is only barely wavy, but the ends are still holding on They like to hide my length by curling upwards a couple of inches
