*I can't believe people would do that refers to the people rioting. I'm all for dobbing those f***ers in!

By the way that wasn't an actual complaint about my hair. I appreciate every disobedient strand.

oh my god yay! glad youre finally getting the praise you deserve!!! and to think that they have no idea the significance of what they're saying, hahah
youre doing so great! keep up the amazing work!!!!!

It's awesome. I always accepted that my hair would just not be one of my good features, but that I had other good features so it didn't matter. But now... I feel AMAZING!!! I feel gorgeous and perfect.. It will be hard to go back to how I was before if that happens down the line. I'm gonna enjoy this!!

Aaaaaaaargh I did this. Me. I made it happen. I did it because pulling isn't worth the effects of pulling. I did it with small goals. I did it with support. I did it with sheer determination, grit, willpower and stubbornness. It was really hard.. And it still is really hard. I know it will continue to be really hard. But to me it's worth it. I have achieved a full head of hair, a trip to the hairdresser, and walking around with wet hair after a shower.

You can do it too. Trich is something we can control.

Oh wow you are amazing! I might have to go look at the dob the fuckers in website - bet I have taught one or two of the little angels when I was in London!!! Its all calm again now pretty much - although there are still tensions cos of the men killed in birmingham but its probably not going to be riots. If the rioters were protesting I'd sympathise - there are lots of reasons for legitimate protest in society - andlots of reasons for anger at police but......they have shot themselves in foot tbh.

I can't wait to see your hair!!! I have a great product for curly hair - mine curls when it is allowed to grow long. But still thinking of chopping it off then letting it grow maybe next year!

its phil smith xceptional curl cream, you just apply when wet and it shapes the curls as you dry x

sam how did you choose your salon?

Awesome! It is wonderful to see you do so well to reach the comfort of being natural! Oh, those lovely free hanging curls, what a great view!
Enjoy the holiday, be aware, stay safe, and look sharp (if you are gazing, keep your stuff protected), and you will have the best time ever!
Congratulations!
The more you keep busy, the easier it will be to relax!
Good for you to take the time to visit with your grandfather, he deserves to share in your thrilling moment of natural hair downs!

Yep mrs kolo, I agree. Im all for peaceful protesting, but these guys were looting and being violent. That's just wrong.

Thanks for the product tip, I just bought some expensive products from the salon, so I'm I'm not in the market for another for a little while! I say go for the chop, if only to feel the freedom.

Ok how I chose a salon. I didn't want one close to my house as u didn't want to run into anyone I knew there. I picked a city suburb about half an hr from my bfs house, and typed in that, and "great hair salon". Found one, checked reviews (positive) checked photos on their website (gorgeous). Then called to speak to the owner and asked if she had heard of trich. She had, she congratulated ne on my pf time. I had found a winner!!

Thanks for your advice mid :) I will take it! Yeah I love seeing my curls in my peripheral..

awww this is sooooo exciting! You are an inspiration!!

Sam, congratulations on the haircut. I'm so happy for you. Wow, you are leaving already??? Time flies. Have a wonderful and safe and wonderful time.

xoxoxo

Pix?

Not long now before you jet off huh? Packed yet? If you're anything like me - not a chance. If you're anything like my mum, you would have done at least 3 practice packs over the past month and you would have every minute of your trip planned out before you even hop on the plane. She's special, she is :)

Wooow congrats!!! I’m so happy for you :D
You’re such an inspiration, enjoy every second of your trip cause you totally deserve it!!

Wings, dear Sam! Enjoy your holiday, and here's another "Inspiration" to add to your accomplishments of new growth!
I agree, the practice packing helps to ensure the MOST important stuff makes it to the destination!
Here's to your natural look and having a blast!
