BSL 2013 Challenge

[jprayze]

I have almost a month until my next relaxer and I can't waittttt!!!! I better be getting close to BSL. After September's length check, I will be able to tell if I can make BSL at the end of this year. I think September's length check will be a make or break for alot of us.

You said it pelohello! I'm getting twists installed next week and I will keep them in until the LC. After I take them out, I will flat iron and see what I'm working with!

 

[jprayze]

Me too!! I just made my appointment for my touch up (Sept. 21). I'm loving this sew-in bob that I have now, but I'm ready for a length check so I can see where I am.

That's what I'm thinking for my next PS after the LC...a sew in Bob. I always loved bobs!

@Mz.MoMo5235 Did you use it for roller sets? How was it? Is it not durable?

@Froreal3 I used it only for roller sets and I used the big roller and had a lot of hair at the time and it worked great. Wasnt as loud as I thought it would be (didnt scare the dogs lol) fit over all the rollers and my head. I dropped it a few times putting it up and it stood up to it. I used it about 8x over a course of a year.

Then I went to India... I dont have a clue what my brother was doing to it or why he was even touching it but it was broken beyond use He's bald so I really really dont know wtf he was doing lmfao. Jerk put it up like I wouldnt notice it was broken! I took it out to try and dry a wet set wrap and that's when things hit the fan

So if its just you, it will stand the test.. If you have a brother, I cant promise anything ijs

ETA: Oh yeah, I even used to fall asleep with that thing on my head to dry my roller sets. So its comfortable (but I grew up sleeping in rollers over the weekend to let them dry cause I had a lot of hair and no dryer... So my comfort may not be the same as yours)

I just bought this one this week. I've used it once but so far so good.

How is the air circulation? Do u need to twist around to get the back? Too much heat on crown?

No twisting at all for me. I love that I could see through the hood without ducking and my eyes KiWiStyle really didn't fry.

Yesterday was wash day, so Prepooed with hair trigger and coconut oil heated and some drops of tea tree oil. Then washed my hair with Aphogee deep moisture shampoo and then did a protein treatment with Aphogee Protein conditioner, as I want to relax my hair at the end of the week.
My hair had over 13 weeks of undergrowth and combing it was a menace as I noticed a lot of shedding? Anyway, I ended up in the salon today to have my hair straightened out for me with a flat iron spica at least manage the hair during the week.
Took a pic of the back of my hair, apparently it's grown longer. My hair tho looks a bit thinner at the ends. I want to believe its cos of the undergrowth. I'll get to know when I finally relax it

You should do it. I love this bob so much I had thoughts of cutting my hair. Then I came back to reality lol. If I want short hair I can always just weave it up again.

 

[keranikki]

Completed my wash day. I tried my first shampoo bar. .. didn't like it. Too drying! I tried a new conditioner called Belnouvo Avocado&Shea. This may be a keeper. My hair was so soft! I sealed with rice bran oil and flat ironed my hair with a wet to dry flat iron. It came out well, but I still have some ends I need to cut. I dusted my ends today to alleviate some of the frizziness. I'll twist my hair tonight for a twist-out bob tomorrow. I will continue to rock this style until I grow out the frizzies.

 

[jprayze]

I have to take some time this week to prepare my hair for my twists install on Saturday. Definitely an extra DC is in order.

 

[NikkiQ]

Lord yall I can't WAIT to wash and DC my hair!! I've been going through so much lately that my hair has taken a back seat to all the drama. I need this pamper day.

No like seriously... These braids need to be gone. Only problem is I need to keep these for a web series I'm in (which is kinda cool) and for continuity's sake, I can't take them out yet.

I'm taking more and more out though so I need to be careful I don't take too many out lol.

Had them in for a month though... I can last through the end of the month. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.

 

[naturalagain2]

I haven't been in here for a minute! I've been doing nothing hair related...been enjoying these twist extensions! I've been moisturizing daily with my homemade moisturizing mix. It's been about 4 wks this past Sat. so i got hair washed, my edges and the top of my head redone. I should be good for another month!

 

[NikkiQ]

Ohhhh clean hair feels lovely!! Took my time to sorta finger detangle and remove shed hairs before I got started. The fro was HUGE after doing that for almost an hour while watching Law & Order

 

[SincerelyBeautiful]

Wash day for me was yesterday. I normally keep it simple which was no exception to yesterday's wash. I did dc under a hooded dryer with a plastic cap on that's the only change I made. Usually I just dc with plastic cap on for about an hour without heat. After applying my leave in, I sealed with castor oil and threw my hair up into a high bun.

Washed and conditioned today. I actually blew it dry and how mini twists installed. Will see how long they last. First time having twists done on dry hair.

 

[SimJam]

What's your maintenance regimen? I want to see if this is something I can keep up. I can probably refresh them myself...a little at a time

gvin89 right now I moisturize and seal (mostly my just ends) every other day or as needed
I use a water based moisturizer (right now its HQS greasless moisture) under castor oil

at night I do 3 corn rows so my hair is wavy in the morning.

I washed and DCd them once and they still look good (major surprise). My hair tangles and tries to loc easily so Ive been randomly detangling and retwisting some of the twists however after my next wash I'll re-do all the twists myself ... also a little at a time

 

[mamaline]

I was going to wait until the end of the year to get the big trim that I need, but I think I might do it after my relaxer next month. There really is no point in waiting.

So while I was rinsing out my DC in the shower, I always tend to leave out this one piece of hair! Well today after I got out the shower, I was telling DH about how I do it every time and told him to pull to see how long it was. He said a foot long. I said "haha like a $5 foot long?" He looked at me and said "No really...it's pretty long honey. Of course I whipped off my shirt (no I'm not a freak. my shirt is black and couldn't see my hair against it) and said "TAKE A PICTURE!!"

I'm bouncing back from that 1" cut/trim/whatever you wanna call it last month. I guess the trim and constant bunning is working for me. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!

I have the same center piece in my nape that always sticks out when I make two braids. It's weird and its super long too, just like yours. Keep up the good work, BSL by DEC is calling your name!

Your hair is growing fast! Beautiful! BSL awaits!

 

[Guinan]

NikkiQ, WOW!!! I was not expecting that. Your hair has almost doubled in length. That trim served your hair justice. You got me wanting to trim.

gvin89 & SimJam yall's twists are gorgeous!!!

 

[Guinan]

Morning Ladies,

Since it's so humid out I've been wearing my hair in the navy bun. Last Saturday's hair wash was a bit of a mess. I had a huge knot/matting on the left side of my temple. I didn't notice it until I was in the shower rinsing out the shampoo. I thought I was going to have to cut that whole area off. But thank goodness, I waited until it was damp/dry, applied some olive oil & gently detangle the knot/matting. I think before I shampoo, DC etc... I need to thoroughly detangle.

HHJ
