Natural Hair: Protective Style and Plans

[1221tam]

I think the bantu knot out prior to length check would be cool (instead of picking it). It's always amazing to see your huge fro :-) but it prob will be more stretched with the bantu knot out.

[AmberAuNaturel]

Yay. Welcome back. ^__^

[RosiLeouis80]

I wish I knew my nappiversary! I pretty much had multiple transitions to natural and never did a BC. I just slowly cut it off.

[Summyr1988]

@RosiLeouis80 You should just pick a date to celebrate on. :)

[cat3375]

@RosiLeouis80 Don't feel bad! I did the same exact thing, so I don't have a Nappiversary either. That's okay though, I'll make up one.

[gggrinz]

@cat3375 Your nappiversary would be the day that you cut off the last inch of relaxer; when you were completely relaxer-free.

[gggrinz]

Why don't you just do your length check on the 26th so that you'll have more time to do ur bantu knots and allow them to dry for your nappiversary? What diff does one day make?

[tjbmom123]

Domino update please

[Summyr1988]

@tjbmom123 he's still gone

[Ms360sista]

Pic it out! We love the music and the mini dancing;)!

[Summyr1988]

@Ms360sista Ok. I'm seeing to much resistance to make a change. lol It will be a regular length check on the 26th like always. :)

[krissiikisses]

can u please update us on domino ?

[Summyr1988]

@krissiikisses He's still gone. If I get him back it will be announced.

[40andnatural]

@Summyr1988 Praying for a safe return of Domino. I have two cats and they both at different times (coincidentally during the winter) have left and days later returned. Please try putting a blanket or something that has Domino's scent on it outside your door. Please keep us updated. I am sure he is safe.

[Summyr1988]

@40andnatural That makes me feel better. That's a good idea. Putting something of his on the porch. I'm thankful that we have had really good weather, considering it's December. Thank you for your prayers and support. :) God Bless you Sis!!

[deedeesnicks]

Congrats for being natural 3 years...it doesnt seem like its been that long ago since u BC

[Summyr1988]

@deedeesnicks Thank you!! It doesn't feel like 3yrs to me either. Time flies when you're having fun. :)

[yumypopcorn]

Hey baby doll, you look great. Looking forward to the vid :)

[spankiefresh21]

We love when you do the big funky fro while you're doing the little dance. Your length checks are the bomb.com, don't change 'em.

[Summyr1988]

@spankiefresh21 ok for you guys I'll do the same thing. Now... to pick a song. :) Thanks for the love.

[jamaicancoco]

Did you find domino?

[Summyr1988]

@jamaicancoco no. If I do I will announce it.

[maximuslyricus]

Noooooo! Please don't give up doing the fro-length check! Thats must see tv!!! How bout delaying your fro/length check til rock your bantu out long as u want, then doing the fro length check after that? Merry Christmas and congrats on your upcoming nappiversary!!!

[Summyr1988]

@maximuslyricus Thank you. I think I might film my length check video in the next few days and just post it on the right day. That way I can still have my bantu knot out. Thanks Girl. I appreciate you and the great advice you give. I still do that stretched twist that you taught me. God Bless you Sis!! :)

[msquayla]

Sounds like a good plan.. I just took out my mini twists and I too need to wash and redo my hair.. smh

[CetteBelleChevelure]

I like when you do the fro for your length checks; it's become a tradition for me, lol.

Btw, I've come to hate it when ppl use the term "creamy crack". It's derogatory towards those who have relaxers and that's divisive. Let's win them with "love" instead of throwing that term at them. Just my 2 cents. Thanks for the vid!

[Summyr1988]

@CetteBelleChevelure Thanks for your input. That gives me something to think about.

[sharonatw]

My nappiversity is on the 30th! Seven years natural! 8 years relaxer free!!

[Summyr1988]

@sharonatw Wow!!! That's awesome!! Congrats to you Sis!!

[sultrydoll]

:( boo mine isn't until july! i'm not one of the cool kids. i liked the hair though.

[Summyr1988]

@sultrydoll You're still cool!! Natural ladies are the coolest!! :) Thanks.

[AuNaturaleFrench]

try your bantu knots on dry or damp hair..it really helps

[Summyr1988]

@AuNaturaleFrench I'm pretty sure I did that last time, my hair is really thick and it's MBL so it takes a super long time to dry.

[SunRayGoddess]

You could combine the two-- the nappiversary and length check into one video so that you don't have to switch styles. I'm looking forward to seeing whatever you post. :)

[Summyr1988]

@SunRayGoddess I'm thinking I'll make the nappiversary video early and just post it on the 26th. That way I can do both. :)

[LexaChill13]

We share a Nappiversary! I will be three months natural Wednesday! :D

[xXcHUCKIIEtAYZXx]

OMG! I have been transitioning for a yer (official on 12/8/11) and im seriously trying get a solid date set lol I might just wait until 12/28/12 just so we can share the nappiversary :)

[Summyr1988]

@xXcHUCKIIEtAYZXx Why not this December? :)

[xXcHUCKIIEtAYZXx]

@Summyr1988 LOL im honestly chicken... when my hair was permed, at its shortest it sat on my shoulders.... Im transferring schools in the fall though, so i might do it over the "summyr" lol get it?

[bunniesattackedme]

i think ill big chop at the end of the year too!

[Summyr1988]

@bunniesattackedme Do it December 28!! :)

[po3ticphlonaz]

[Summyr1988]

@po3ticphlonaz I did a video on that for last December's length check. It was a braid out that is just picked.

[BeauGorgeousNatural]
