My bday is exactly 5 mos from today and I would love to be rocking full BSL length in all its glory. Thats another 2 1/2 inches so I am in winter regimen mode to retain max length and moisture n seal and co wash my way there. Soon I will have to dump my beloved Scurl so I need to maximize its use for the next two months. I am so hyped because in a year MBL should be upon me!! Grow hard or go home!!! Lol. Relax in 2 wks at 10 wks post.

Hi Ladies! How is everyone on their journey to BSL? for me I am still aiming for natural full APL on a really good rollerset!

My days are becoming full yet I'll continue to jump in now and then! I will definitely be here with everyone for our upcoming August 31st Length Check!

*Shared over @ the APL 2012 Challenge!*
I've yet to use a moisturizer this year or any year lol as I began my new HHJ and I like this one ALOT! Here are a few pictures showing my hair out of plait braids naturally air-dried. Amazing to see how well the R&B Moisturizer by Lush Cosmetics helps create these oh so soft curls not too much of a difference between using only the Organic Coconut Oil (OCO) for 5 months the first half of this year. The results are similar in creating easy to style hair, yet the scent of R&B lasts much longer compared to OCO (?maybe the heated roller set helps with this?) it smells so nice all day long where the OCO would fade by early morning with a natural air dried rollerset. R&B is also a cleaner rinse compared to OCO and WGHO oils. Even when I cooled rinse with the oils there was always a little left over yet with R&B it washes clean. I think these are all good products so far I'll continue to keep you ladies posted

Basically like big, fat, long twists! I love the look and can't wait until I can do it on my own hair!

 

[silenttullip]

I was down but thanks to the inspiring progress of you ladies I am NOT out.
I have tweaked my reggie putting in more moisture and back adjusted to my aquasana so my hair is soft again. I've had twists 8 days and washed 2x. Hoping for another 6 days with 1 or 2 washes.
back on my msm and hair vitamins plus water...
I love you ladies

WE ARE GOING TO MAKE IT!!!

Hello ladies ! Well after getting my hair analysis, I have 2 inches of heat damage that needs to be removed asap so it doesn't look like I'll make it to BSL this year . I'm going to gracefully bow out of this challenge so that I can concentrate on repairing my scalp, hair, and health . Good luck to the rest of you ladies and HHJ blessings to you all !

Can you yourself see and feel the heat damage?

 

[tashboog]

Can you yourself see and feel the heat damage?

Yes I can physically see the heat damage but I was in denial! LoL! During my hair analysis consultation she also showed me pics of my heat damaged hair. The damage hair is splitting, breaking, and will eventually move up the hair shaft so the damage needs to be removed asap to prevent further damage.

Sorry let it go and lets move on but make sure and find a good way to protect your ends from now on

Exactly. I'm moving on and now I know how to take care of my hair and ends better. The length will come once my hair is healthy.

Semi-goals reached! Don't know when I exactly reached them, but I can do them now. I can put my hair in a low, loose, ponytail in its natural state. I can also put my natural unstretched hair into a bun without it looking anorexic. So happy about this!

Ladies! Shared over at the APL 2012 Challenge here are new comparison pics of my hair length between July 1st, 2012 and today August 9, 2012! In my August 1 pictures my hair is air dried and surprisingly I cannot tell if there was any length after using WGHO for 30 Days yet you know I've said I could feel thickness and my hair longer on my back THANK GOODNESS these photos help see there is added new growth in the past 30 Days!

Here are new pictures of my hair wet and drying (then shrinking very fast! ) with comparison between July 1st and this morning:

• the first photo shows the length of my hair when wet (the left side is very wet and the right side shows how fast my hair started to shrink when drying after taking the photo a few minutes earlier!)
• the second photo is a July to August comparison with lines showing July 1st APL and where I am beginning to feel my hair is thicker!

I've been cowashing every other day DCing once a week with a replenishing condish, moisturizing & bunning for the last 3 weeks.. Guess I'm giving my hair a break. My 10.5 weeks of ng feels awesome though

Your curls are so lush! Yummy

 

[manter26]

I feel like I'm in the home stretch. I should be full BSL by December at the most! I'm glad to finally have noticeable progress.

 

[glamazon386]

My hair has been giving me the blues lately. It's not cooperating at all. I was able to rock a decent puff today. I'm thinking about getting it braided next week.

 

[livinthevida]

:wink2: Thank Yooooooooou trendsetta25!

 

[KaramelDiva1978]

Kids started school and my schedule is all screwed up for co washing and deep cond for this week. I will be babying my hair on tomorrow. Pre deep poo and deep conditioning to the max on my luscious locks.

 

[silenttullip]

I'll be back to school doing full time and work sooooo... Can you ladies give me style ideas what will last a week with little to no product?

Past few weeks I've been using evco for prepoo, Chagrin Valley Poo Bar, and then dcing with Elucence MB Conditioner. The combo of CV and Elucence leaves my hair feeling like BUTTER much better than the crickle crackle I had going on in this heat. So I'm looking for a style that I won't have to add anything to besides maybe a water spritz. I would bun but that takes product for me and 2 strand twists just take too long to last 9 days and I don't like big twists or bantu knots. Help me? If I can figure it out I'll make it to BSL not full but that's for May of next year probably.

 

[SmilingElephant]

I think im scraping BSL yall...









I was trying a new simple style with my hair...and the clip you see is actually broken.

I feel like i should shut up about feeling like my hair doesn't feel thick.

I tried the new ORS banana conditioner. Im not crazy about it. I'll save the other pak for when i decide to straighten. It's good on protein tho...i can say that!
