Hey folks! My 17th birthday update, as I promised. My b-day was actually yesterday, but due to some issues, I could only post today. My new rotine is:
- Wash: 1/2 times a week, with a sulphate free, baby shampoo.
- Conditioning: 2 times a week, one day with only conditioner, ter other day with a moisturizer and conditioner.
- Combing: Only after washing and conditioning. It mantain the curls shaped and put less stress on my hair.
- Oiling: I've done a single olive oil treatment, but soon I will oil it weekly. The oiling actualy made the curls look thinner and like if they had styling product on.
The breakage still goes on, it's less frizzy than last time. The unevening is due to the lack of trims (19 months without a trim, 27 months without a cut). I plan on trimming it soon, or to cut it, as I am waiting the result of a job test to come out, and yesterday I actually missed my "afro-blonde" hair lol. It's Bs, though, as I know I'm not cutting it anytime soon LOL. The job is only for nest year.
Big hug to you all and thanks for the inspiration and support guys. I'm really lucky to have found this site.
Your hair looks fantastic. Great update, and Happy belated Birthday.

Nice curls !! They are awesome.
Andy,
Awesome update. Happy b-day by the way. You're hair length is exactly what I hope to achieve some day. This gives me inspiration. Right now I'm in a bit of an awkward stage and hope I can get through it. My hair seems to be getting "poofy" and thicker as it grows longer. I know once it gets to a certain length it will fall, just getting there is the battle. I really like how your hair has natural curls.
Thanks for this update.
Thanks beardedpiper! Glad I can give some inspiration. hold true to your heart man. I never really cared for what other people said. Don't care as well, the hair is yours, you do what you want with it. One thing that I used a lot in my awkward days, and that helps a lot, is a Bandanna. It still helps me, in my bad hair days. Try one and see if it looks nice!
Big Hug!
GREAT hair!!, and happy birthday. I have the same hair texture as you thanks for posting this now I know what to expect.
Hi Andy, Do I envy your Youth? Hair? Curls? NO! and I a compulsive liar? YES! Seriously, Fabulous, congratulations and hope you had a very good birthday and keep up the great work. Best wishes, Ian
Hi Andy,
Happy 17th birthday to you, and thank you for sharing your update with us! You have a great head of thick curls, so be sure to keep it growing!
Keep it growing,

Guess that's one way to post a frontal shot and yet avoid posting your face all over the 'Net.
Congrats on the ingenuity and on having some great-looking hair, and happy (late) birthday!!
