Merry Christmas everyone!

2008 BSL Challenge
Ok… If y’all frequent nappturality then you know that back in December I started a Bra Strap Hair-Length Challenge.

New Growth Comparison Pics
It’s really too soon to do these but someone on NP posted a hair growth comparison thread, and I decided to participate. My goal is really to do these every six months. The longer my hair gets, the harder it is to see the growth. When I take my hair down to style it or … Read more

Well, as of late, I’ve been a little curious about whether or not I’ve made much progress retaining any length. Just on visual … Read more
Hair Comparison Then v.s. Now

Prior to moving back to my hometown, I never had such a problem when I lived in Cleveland. I’d take my hair down on Friday night/Saturday morning. Shampoo, … Read more
