Doing it that way, BSL is about 25 inches for me.

I just remeasured the BSL thing, and it turns out that its actually 24 inches.
Embarrassed

woopsie, my mistake. I would assume that the last half inch or inch that I'm lacking right now would be just because I'm not as tall, or something, is that right? Or maybe I'm just wierd that way. Wow, so this like turns everything upside down.... so to find out my real hair length , do I still have to measure from the middle of my forhead? Do I always have to measure that way all the time now? Huh

right now I just measured my hair that way, to see how long it is, and It's 14 and a half inches. HAHA! I have just magically gained 5 and a half inches in length in 5 minutes! Cheesy

Yeah, the measuring is a little confusing. My dad sees me doing it and thinks I'm nuts because there's no way any strands of my hair are actually that long. But I tell him that the more I measure this was the longer I feel like my hair is and the less I'll bother him about helping me measure and taking photos of it. Grin

So not much going on here. Just checking in, updating, ya know. I've been trying to shampoo less and condition more, and so actually what i awas about to go do was a conditioner only wash.
Also, I think I'm going to do a hot oil treatment sometime this week. (and leave it in for longer than one minute, unlike what the package says.) Yeah, a couple weeks ago I tried the vo5 hot oil treatment but only left in it for one minute because thats what it said to in the directions. It did absolutely nothing.
Callisto: I know, It's basically impossible to take a decent picture of the back of your head by yourself ( for me anyway) unless your arms are like twice as long as they are usually. Grin

lol.....the easier route than having super long arms would probably just be to have a wider zoom on your camera.....oh well.

Woohoo!

we are back on track!! Today I wanted to see what would happen if i tried out curls/intense waves so I got my mom to try and do 2 french braids with my hair that is now about an inch past my chin (when dry) and it actually worked!! i did it when wet so they it would be easier to braid, the curls would be more intense, and they would stay longer. All of my hair can fit into it, though I have to admit that I am a little put to shame by the little teeny stubs sticking out the back of my head. She had to stop the braids at the nape of my neck because unfortunately, my hair isn't long enough. So anyways, I'll tell you guys how the curls turn out! Since my hair is all one length, hopefully I dont turn out looking like triangle head tomorrow. Oh well, thats what ponytails are for, right? Grin

P.S.- I forgot to ask, do you think that braiding my hair when wet will damage it? I'm not really sure of that one myself so I'd like to know your opinion!

Okay so I know I havent written for a long time, but thats because nothing much is going on lately with my hair and I dont think i am allowed to post everything about my life each day on the internet. Anyways, I'm writing today because it has been exactly 2 months since I got the big cut to my chin! (Well, It looked like it was at my chin but really when it was wet it went a little past.) So i'll measure right now and....oh boohoo only 15". When I got it cut I measured 14 or 14.5 inches. I dont remember. Oh well. At least there was growth. So now I am going to try and post a picture of my hair as my avatar or maybe just post a picture. I'm not really sure how to do either.

Officially, I am able to do a french braid ON MYSELF! And they actually dont look that bad! I just need a tad bit more practice and it will be perfect.

Sure you are! --Oh, wait. Are you talking about LL site rules or the rules of your parental units?

By the way, is your name pronounced Jill-ay-nee?

Oh, I was talking about my parents. I'm only 13 so I dont think I would be allowed to post things about my life like I would in a normal diary, even though I know most of you guys are probably really nice people and everything. But my parents dont know that. Tongue

BTW, my name is pronounced Jill-ay-ne. You almost had it. The "e" isn't prounounced as if it was a double "e" though, or a "ie". Sometimes people call me that as a nickname, though.
