Okay, so today is the 1st day I've straightened my hair since I started wearing lace fronts in October of 2007. I wash and condition my hair every weekend but I haven't bothered to straighten it so I had been guessing at the length by pulling a few curls straight.
Here is what it looked like while it was still wet and curly:
Here is what it looked like after I put some Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine on it then blow dried it. It's in a high pony tail :
Here it is after I flat ironed it with the MaxiGlide steam flat iron:
Even though it's grown some I STILL like my lf's better than my own hair. I am TRULY addicted to these lf's. I think maybe because they are so much thicker and fuller than my natural hair and I can put all the dye and chemicals I want in the lf's and just let my natural hair grow healthier and healthier. It also seems like my natural hair has gotten darker since it hasn't been exposed to the sun for so long and now that I've been looking at my natural color all day I'm feeling the urge to dye all my lf's the same color. I think Imma need to get into lace front rehab soon.
Wow, your hair is beautiful!! what do you do to it under your wigs. That seems like a job in itself
It's really not that hard at all. After I wash and condition it I wrap it while its still wet. When its almost dry I put my wig cap over it to stop it from poofing up while it dries the rest of the way. Then I apply my unit.

Curlygirl...your hair is fabulous! Congratulations on all that growth; just beautiful and healthy. You are an inspiration to me. I am hoping, by wearing extensions and possibly a lace frontal (soon) that I will be able to grow it back too.

that's exactly what it takes stop the heat, chemicals and daily manipulation and lf as a protective style you can't beat it..
I TOTALLY agree. I had no idea my hair could grow so long until I stopped putting relaxers and heat in it.
IMO the lace front is the greatest thing since sliced bread because unlike wearing braids or weaves it puts absolutely no tension on my natural hair. As a result my hair is not only getting longer but it's slowly getting thicker at the scalp because I don't have anything pulling at the roots like braids or weave tracks. This just makes me even MORE addicted to the lace fronts.

Thank you. Keeping the tension off your natural hair will help. Have you considered wearing a flw yet ?
