Here's a small update since my 'braid' picture.
This picture was taken by my girlfriend in our classroom, and I'd just come in from the rain and wind an hour or so early; so my hair is in a fairly 'unkempt' condition. I actually believe my W/O routine is helping my hair look more natural after such conditioners, where-as it used to look like crud. :P
You can see it's poofing out a little bit in the back, but I'm not too concerned. Some more length should remedy that problem! Also, that's a little cat on a pipe-wire that I found abandoned on a table... I thought it needed some attention. ^_^
Sorry for the blur. If anything I think this is a good representation of length, body, and 'natural' condition.
Your hair is looking awesome!
I don't know how much more i can emphasise the word AWESOME to describe it. Seems my limited vocabulary is at a loss to describe your hair right now.
Honestly, it looks significantly longer from your update a few weeks back. Either you had an extreme growth spurt last night in your sleep(haha) or the curls where hiding your length. This is a great picture as it really does justice to the length and volume/thickness of your hair.
I'm jealous , not just over the length, but by the way you can let it hang over your ears and it doesn't seem to go in your face at all. I almost always wear my hair tucked behind my ears or ponytailed, otherwise there is just hair all in my face. I dubbed this my "2nd awkward stage" but i do think that maybe my hairline is just different from everyone else. Maybe i was born for bangs baby? who know, lol. When you bend down does your hair come in your face or does it 'sit' like that?
Your WO regime is yielding great results. The condition and health of your hair is evidence of this.
Congratulations on your acheivements and i wish you the best of luck in continued growth. You really do have magnificent hair, if there ever was. Regards, Jean.
Man you exaggerate. Really, I'm flattered that you'd say that. Thank you very much! :)
Probably the curls were hiding length. I think my hair becomes wavier the longer it goes without washing. Then again, it was probably that my head was tilted a bit.
Hey thanks again man, but if there's anyone here who's jealous it's me. You've got some awesome curls, and although I'm more than happy with what I've got I still find your progress to be quite admirable. :)
I mostly owe my bangs to an annoying callick I've had ever since I can remember. When my hair was short it was the most annoying thing ever and I'd always try to find ways to comb my hair forward and KEEP it down. The callick still does annoy me slightly because it's only on one side and makes things look uneven, but for the most part it keeps the hair out of my face. My girlfriend likes the look a lot too, so that's definatly another perk.
As for bending down... let me try this... yes, it does 'sit' like that. Though I believe this is mostly due to me tucking my hair behind my ears and allowing it to dry in a 'set' position. My hair tends to dry stiff (probably sounds weird), so sometimes I'm able to mold it how I want it.
I'm really glad to know that people are noticing this. I take it as a huge compliment and a definite sign of improvement, though I still feel as though it's not nearly as healthy as it could be.
I just want to thank you again for the great reply. It's not every day I get such things said about me and I want you to know how much I really appreciate your support. Sorry if that sounds sappy. :P
I'd also like to make an apology to the board for these update pics. I know I don't post here frequently, but I do still lurk and read. If anybody feels as though I'm posting too much about myself and not enough in support of others then I'd like to apologize for that. Sorry if that came out of nowhere but I felt like getting it off my chest. You guys are all superb people and I don't want to seem as though I'm taking advantage of your kindness and support.
Your hair looks great. Your current hair care routine is working very well for you. Keep it growing.
Absalom
Water Only. I don't use any kind of shampoo or conditioner except for a homebrewn rinse of water and apple cider vinegar.
So far it's been very gentle and adequately cleansing.
Yes, very nice and well maintained hair. I tried the water only rinsing a while back, and it did not work too well, but I am glad you can do it. It shows in the over-all condition of your hair. Very good!
Very nice hair man, very thick too
Poofiness or not, your hair still rocks. 'nuff said.
Well, maybe not. It seems your hair is a fair bit straighter in this pic than previous ones, or maybe it's just me. It suits you either way, but I preferred the wavier/curlier look.
Oh, and your hair will actually get wavier/curlier the longer you stay away from shampoo, or at least so I read somewhere. It seems true, though, because my hair become a fair bit curlier once I stopped shampooing it. Or maybe I just started noticing the curls more. Whichever works. :P
Looks very good! You have natural wave/curl. Adds character. Makes your hair look full/thick! Keep it growing!
