All of my curls came back after, no heat damage what so ever! i love the straight hair but i missed my curls so a couple days after new year, i washed it out.

LOve,

Straight hair!!

despite, the protective style challenge on the good hair blog , for my sister's wedding, i straightened my hair!  here are some pictures after i played with it.

and back to curly!

i love the versatility but im definitely a curly girl.My hair is back to the length before i cut it. in JUST a year! wow...

LOve,

hair updates! (late!)

I finally took the box  braids out (about a week and a half ago)

woah! afro!

After washing and detangling, i lost this much hair due to shed hair. i kept it pretty moisturized for the month so i think this is an ok amount to lose...do you agree?

rocked twists..
