I hope so. It seems like it's been stuck in the same spot, but maybe that's because I keep checking all the time.

Nothing fancy! I use the silicon ponytail holders they make now. I fan my pony out like I'm going to use a donut but instead tuck my ends in and bobby pin in place. Being military I'm used to them being a little tighter but I used maybe three bobby pins and it held for two days straight plus a workout!

Me too! I wanted to try red, but was afraid to dye my hair. I haven't since the BC and just wasn't sure it would look okay. I guess I could try a Demi and see what happens!

I've gone in to wish the challengers luck, but not much more than that. I want to be good and long into APL before I peek into the BSL threads!

I took out my yarn braids, did my henna treatment and dc...my hair feels so strong. I tried the tension method for blow drying my hair and I'm sold on it 
. Anyway here's my results of my low heat flat iron.
Seamonster-thanks for letting me know
. I edited the pic. Hope it works now

I was thinking the same thing. Not sure how plastic would bond to the hair unless it was exposed to excessive heat and it melted.
Otherwise it seems like coating it with oil may help to remove it. If you can see parts of it, then maybe you can cut small sections of it and start pulling the small sections out.
Not sure, just guessing at this point.

longhairdreaming I clicked on the picture, and couldn't get a larger one to come up
Wow, I think I might try a red rinse, semi permenent, cinnamen and honey or something for the year end reveal. That would be fun, lol. I am going to look into it. Seems like everyone hennas, but I don't think I am ready for that. Anyone used cinnamon and honey, any other natural means and kept healthy hair? If so how did you do it?

Checking in - not very sure if I should redo my yarn braids bit by bit or just leave it until April but that would be three months... I don't think I would want to take the risk but school is so busy for me =/
Did a scalp massage tonight with JBCO Pimento Growth Oil.

Think I may do a henna treatment this weekend. I loved the reddish tone the other treatments gave me, but want to darken my hair because (1) I plan to wear a weave soon and don't feel like experimenting w/ the weave color to match my leave out. (2) Everybody keeps saying darker colors can give the illusion of thickness- well I need any help I can get!
So I'm thinking of going out to buy cocoa powder and amla oil to put in my henna mix. Maybe that will make it dark enough. I think I'm too lazy to do an indigo treatment after that henna process.

shortdub78 : i did look into the shoulder length challenge just to see, maybe how i was for months, stuck at that length)...i do go into the bsl (i should more as i hit apl already BUT.....i stayed stuck for long with slow progress so im having trouble beleiving that my hair can ever reach bsl this year......
although, im doing my best !
NikkiQ: your color is HOT! i used to do auburn all the time when i was relaxed...i loved it. it never damaged my hair (it was those 1 use paquets you buy in stores in london)..."boots" was the store.
where i work its impossible to do anything to your hair so i just stay stuck at my old boring hairstyles....annoying me.let me just stick to ps. and wait to get another job in a few months, i hate that place

I love that you are about to give life and you are checking in here with us! Just be sure to cover your pillowcase with a satin one and if you are having a C-Section and they place that nylon/paper cap on you slip a satin bonnet on before they do
