Thankyou Ladies, i do love my hair. My only issue with it is that when it gets to the length it is now i loose a lot of lift at the roots and it just sits flat and normally on top is just as curly underneath which is more of a 3C so i think i might need to get a chop!

CrystalTips, your hair looks great! I always thought as your hair turned grey it lost its curl.
