First, I have been a Project Orion stan since day one and every time you start in on it again I jump for joy. Second, your HAIR! It has been especially glorious lately and I just wanted to ask what you have been doing to style it?? Or if it's just air dry which products? I have a similar length and wave pattern and must know. Have a beautiful day!

Ahhh thank you so much!! I only recently started my wavy hair journey so this means a lot to me 🥺 I’ve been playing around with different options and haven’t found the perfect routine yet but what I’ve mostly been doing is scrunching in mousse while still wet after I wash, then wrapping in a cotton t shirt to dry for about 30 mins, then air dry (try not to touch or mess with it too much until it’s dry). When it’s almost dry I scrunch out the hard cast using a mix of leave in conditioner and argan oil! Like I said I’ve been trying a lot of different things though too like sometimes gel instead of mousse (it tends to weigh down my hair too much though) or scrunching while damp instead of super wet etc. r/wavyhair on Reddit is super helpful!

so happy when I saw you uploaded a new video!!💕

[@adelexmarie]

appreciate the love

[@BrittanyandBooks]

loved this vlog! would you maybe be able to take the backstory stuff and turn it into a dual timeline situation? i think that could be a cool thing to do, to see the two stories connect and see how the backstory affects the current, main story. just a suggestion! i'm sure whatever you decide to do will be great 💖💖

[@adelexmarie]

I hadn’t thought of that! I might explore that option :)

[@madelyngwrites]

I was just gonna ask if a prologue would work until you said "it could fit into a whole other book" 😂😂
