Hey ladies thanx for allowing/waiting on me to get back from vacation. jamaica was lovely. i almost didnt want to come back. wait correction I DIDN'T WANT TO COME BACK. not to mention that it snowed where i am now. i flew in last night. i did take a pic of my hair while straight when i was away here it is. ( now im just gonna go hard to try and get the 2 inches back.)

sorry for the lack of updates. school is back in session so, work has consumed me.
my hair has pretty much looked like this for the past two weeks:



the marley twists have been okay. i haven't done anything more than moisturize them and wear them in a bun. So, after 2 wks, these things are coming out. I've been itchin' to wear my hair out because i swear everytime i put a protective style in, I see the best "out" styles. But alas, for the sake of ultimate retention, I'll resist   I'm going to wash and deep condition this weekend and if I have time I will re-install marley twists, but smaller this time, so they don't look so worn out so quickly. hopefully i'll be able to keep them twice as long.

Thanks ladies,
@ savanna: girl I'm loving that bun too.

@savanna, your bun is gawjus...did you mention how you did your Marley twists in this thread? I did a quick search but didn't see anything.

 I've been quite lazy with my regimen the past week but I have a very good reason! I woke up with an allergic full body rash last Sunday and after I went to the doctor on Wednesday when it got worse, I was put on a bland diet of basically porridge, potatoes and soft fruits with only antihistamine and hypoallergenic soap externally. It was hard taking my larger HSN vitamins and drinking lots of water because my mouth and throat hurt inside but I started taking them again yesterday since it's mostly cleared up. Also, so far I'm seeing good growth with my sulfur mixture! I'm gonna keep using it and hopefully I'll have at least 4 inches of growth by the 6 month mark! I'm still debating on whether I should order some biotin. The rash made my face look terrible and I'm worried about what I'll look like with cystic acne!
