Length Check

Hi!

This week..before I started one of my straw sets, I got a huge itch for chopping off my ends.
So I cut all of the relaxer off from the bottom section of my hair. 

Before:


After (Shrunken):


After (Stretched):

There's a LOT of length there, but man, does my hair deliver a serious dose of shrinkage! lol.
When I saw how much shorter my hair was without the ends, I decided to only cut the relaxer from that bottom layer completely and just do a light trim of the rest of it. My itch and temporary curiosity were satisfied. 

Here's how this particular straw set turned out:

I actually really like how it turned out with my trim!

Anyway, for those who celebrate: happy Easter weekend!
Have a safe, fun and blessed one! 
=)

  2. Your straw set came out GREAT! Jeesh! Just fantastic. Congratulations on your decision to cut some. I know I didn't realize how much my relaxed ends weighed down my curls. Like you, once they were cut (I also cut the back of my hair!), I was shocked at how fast my hair raced to my scalp. LOL! Your hair looks great . . . keep up the good work!
