My Hair - Current Length

Okay so below I have attached two pictures which maybe a tad outdated as these were taken around three months ago but still nothing wrong with that. This is my current (so to speak) hair length that I'm working with right now. The first picture shows my hair when I had slicked and tied it up into a top knot. The second picture is my hair before having had anything done to it, right after being undone from a protective hairstyle. My hair is extremely thick and coarse and took a lot of effort to get it into the top knot I achieved in the first picture but I managed it!
