Hey all... I haven't posted in the hair forum in a while, although I have been reading. Things have changed quite a bit since I had the baby. I experienced hair growing burnout... not to say that I was slacking on my haircare, but I wasn't as "obsessed" as before... now I know ya'll know what that means!!! I started this in March of 2003 and that time LIVED on this board 24/7. After having the baby, just didn't have as much time. Nonetheless, I have decided to push on with fervent vigor to waistlength hair. Monday I bought some Tokyalon hair and just got to braiding. Then next thing you know, it was done... Imma sport these for a while and looking to tack on 4 healthy inches of hair.... how is everyone else doing? Here are some pics (click 'em to make them larger)...

Thanks, Hon... I've been here, but mostly lurking because sometimes I can't type and tend to the baby at the same time. He's a busy boy... I mostly read. By the time I am free to type, I'm too pooped!!! :rofl: I don't keep braids in longer that 2 months. I'll wash, deep condition and do a protein treatment for a week or two and re-braid....at least that's the plan!

Your braids look great. You have inspired me to try to braid my hair myself.

Could you please post any updates to the tips that you gave us before? Are you making any changes to your braid regime this time?

Any tips for someone who is going to try to braid her hair herself for the first time? TIA.
