Thank you! That's what I needed, the loops you have are a lot like mine. Yours look nicer than mine but I want to think it is because of length.

I am also in my third month as well. I backcombed too. (Although now wish I kinda had a better understanding of the natural way). But all of mine are crazy loopy. Some have ties themselves up in bows some have folded themselves over i have a couple that are still really long and straight while almost all have shrunk. I started with my hair around shoulder length and some are up to my ears while others have shrunk to chin length. I have about 4 or 5 that are in the back that haven't lost any length leavening them just past my shoulders I did post a blog with pictures of this craziness in the third month. So feel free to check that out. And know you are not the only one. I'm excited to see how try continue to progress and grow.

I wasn't necessarily complaining, I didn't expect so many loops everywhere all at the same time. I am glad it is like this in the winter months so I can cover it with a hat when I am out. My cat would enjoy a bird more than I would.

I know my hair is only going to get better, it really can't get much worse looking. Today is 3 months. I started them by sectioning and lightly backcombing about an inch on each section. Since then they have been left to do as they please. Most of them have dreaded from 4-7 inches down the section but the bottoms are a complete loopy mess. I had straight thin hair and now I understand why some people with frizzy hair get aggravated. Anyway my hair literally looks like a birds nest. I didn't expect such a huge bunch of loops so quickly.

Now onto my next "complaint" ( I am not complaining I love my babies) I have lost SOOOO much length. They were half way down my back when I started now they barely reach my shoulders on the sides of my head. That's over 50% shrinkage and they are no where close to fully dreaded. By the length now I will not be able to pull them back when they finish.

Okay rant over, I knew it would happen just wasn't thinking it would be so drastic so quickly.

Best comment ever! Carry on!
