25 braids.
20 buns.
12 monthly updates.
7 big-hair withdrawals.
5 rules.
4 trims.
4 hair measurements.
3-minutes to curl your hair without heat.
(And 3 of my own failed attempts to record my version of the Friar Tuck).

The BIG HAIR BEREAVEMENT is over.

 But don't worry, Bye Bye Beehive isn't going anywhere.
Neither are these hairstyles.
Plus, I just cut mini-bangs.
I have to show you how to style those, right?
Right.

I need to get my hair trimmed - these plaits are amazing I don't think I'd be able to do them - then again i'm still trying to learn how to do a fish tail one.

What a creative journey you took AND you raised money for it. That's pretty awesome.

So proud of you! You are such an inspiration. I mean think about it. You did this for a whole year! How many people can say they did one thing for a whole year? And think... 6.5 inches of growth?? ahhhhh!!

Can't wait for the tutorial on mini bangs.

(p.s. noticed that your stylist has had different hairstyles. They are so cute!)
