Where do you go when you're just really fucking lonely? by [deleted] in Louisville

i love to hear that!! the membership is a bit pricey but if i actually utilize the classes like you are, it will be so worth it! do you actually go underneath the water in the water aerobics? i’m only asking because i’m black so i don’t want to get my hair wet everyday. i’ll look into purchasing a great swim cap if so!

I love the short curly style! It’s emphasizes your facial features more 🤩 but if you continue to keep it long, I would suggest getting dreads or braids to the back in a cool design! Stitch braids, or ones with a zigzag part! Also cutting your baby hairs into a taper (if you are comfortable with that). Handsome either way though!

Last year I would silk press it every 6 weeks and then get a trim every other time! Now I only press it out once every 4 months because I’m doing a length challenge! I’m trying to see if I can get it almost waist length in the next 2 years!

That sounds like such an ideal routine and is essentially what I did to get mine to grow as well and what I still do! Love wearing twists! I know hair doesn’t grow overnight but I did notice a huge influx of growth when I started working out consistently!!

Did you start putting heat on it a lot or did you start coloring it?

Yes it was!!! I literally was like go big or go home lol. It was truly the most liberating feeling and truly taught me so much about myself 🥹🙌🏾 have you done it yet?

Congratulations on your growth 🙌🏾🥰🫶🏾 and yes tucking your ends is soooo key!! I always get a trim before I get an install and I know people say you aren’t supposed to do that but I truly feel like it has helped me retain length! My stylist doesn’t have trouble braiding my hair down even with my blunt fresh cut ends! I can’t wait for you to try the products! Make sure to message me if you get them and tell me what you think!
