BSL 2013 Challenge

[polished07]

I say BSL to MBL as I still need to hit BSL

 

[lamaria211]

Im up for a mbl challenge!

 

[newnyer]

MBL challenge for me. I'll probably stop there and work on my thickness. Besides, I'll need ya'lls help to try and figure out where MBL is on me, LOL.

 

[KaramelDiva1978]

Ditto! I'm with everyone else on a BSL to MBL Challenge. I'm trying to close out the quarter strong over here, but I don't know if I'll make BSL this year. I don't want to do another LC until end of December. I just got my trim two weeks ago and it was about 1 1/2 inches, so no progress to share.

I just ordered two wigs today La Jay and Creta girl.
From next week I will be wigging, I am planning on having cornrows, hopefully keep it 4 weeks under my wig. I will still cowash 3 to 4 times a week, let see if it will make any difference in retention.

I'm dying my hair this weekend!! It's a semi perm by clairol. I hope it shows in my hair. I was gonna try shea moisture hair color line, but its permanent.

 

[Guinan]

I also went back to target & bought two more bottles of yes to carrots conditioner. I'm telling y'all this conditioner is dat twerk. I also bought cream of natures perfect edges. Even though I luved the ORS Edge control, no matter what I did I still kept getting white film.

 

[Guinan]

All of this right here....I feel the same way but I'm staying until I conquered being WL then I'm out... I have a good 6 inches to go

I keep telling myself I should just stay until I reach my goal, plus IRL people could care less what I do to my hair & my excitement when I find the world greatest conditioner etc...

hey its been a while i havent posted. i cut my crown back to ear length.... it was a big mess! im still trying to catch up. make it grow back.

the rest of the hair id bsb.

i dont know if ill make it to bsl.

anyway i wanted to share about the product i tried today. i usually use apoghee 2 min (usually before shampoo as a pre poo, to lazy for dozens of steps for hair wash).
i tried loreal product. its also a reconstructor. i did it after the shampoo.( i also pre pood with olive oil).
the product is great. my hair was strong, not dry, and it has lots lots lots of slip, its soft. it has ceramide too.
it cost me about 3 or 4 euros. bought it in a grocery store. my hair came out nice and strong.

i still wash in sections and i no longer use hair clips( they use to slip while washing). i have found that using bag/ kitchen clips is so much easier and do not move! :

Hair has been dyed. I only dyed the front of my hair just in case of breakage. I dyed it in a u shape, so I didnt dye my bottom edges. The color is a very dark red that u probably can't see unless its under light. I will post pics on Monday.

Right now, I'm tee shirt drying my hair & then plan on applying my DC & let that sit for an hour while I watch Harry potter & the chamber of secrets

Question for the naturals how do you all prep your hair for a straightening? I'm getting a blow out/straighten in 2 weeks and I want to try henna before hand for strength and a hint of color (dark brown) but idk what I should do for real besides protein treatment for sure. Thanks in advance ;-)

 

[jprayze]

I do protein and a moisture condish because I don't really do anything for moisture while my hair is straight. So I have to get the moisture in beforehand.

 

[EasypeaZee]

Hiiii! I've been so busy with my jobs that I let LHCF fall by the wayside... but I've been taking care of my hair in the process. I'm in the middle of my Aubrey GPB prepoo but I have a picture from about a month ago and hope that I can still join the challenge. My bra is a little low but I hope it's ok!

Reaching my goal has been the only reason I've stayed around for the last year and a half. I don't want to lose my motivation so I have to be here. For some reason Nikki's challenges are the only ones that I've actually completed and totally participated in throughout the entire time.

I went to a wedding yesterday and put my hair in a quick updo. I pin curled it in small sections the night before. I did a flat iron curl to just a few sections before pin curling.

looks good! you are pretty too ;-)

 

[Froreal3]

Very pretty jprayze

 

[jprayze]

Thanks ladies! Not only has my hair grown since LHCF, but it just looks better! Lol before I was one bad hair day after another. I didn't know how to care for my natural hair, it was always looking dry and when it was straight it was always puffy. Smh

September Update

Hey everyone!

I'm still in this challenge even though l've been MIA for awhile. Here is my September update. 1st pic is from April, 2nd pic from June and the 3rd pic is from September 27th. I'm aiming for full BSL by December.

^this! Whenever it's time to henna or mix up another batch of deep conditioner, mud wash, whatever, NOBODY gets it like the lovely ladies of LHCF. There's a lot of stuff I would have stopped doing by now if I didn't have a sorority of other women to talk to about it and keep me on track.

Did my end of September LC, and my bottom layers are BSL. :-D





Because my hair isn't even all over, I know I won't be full BSL for a while, but it's good to at least see that some growth is happening!

I'm LOVING all these LC check pics It keeps me motivated

 

[Guinan]

jayjaycurlz & Duchess007, are y'all claiming BSL? Cause y'all look it to me

 

[Guinan]

Unfortunately, you can't really see the hair color in this pic but IRL, its a nice dark red color. Hopefully on Monday I'll be able to get a good pic cause my whole hair will be out. Since I PS once a week now I had to put my twist back in. I couldn't wait till Monday to see the results

 

[Guinan]

Here's another pic. One side is out & the other side is still bantu knotted It still doesn't depict the actually color. I have spent the last hour trying to take an accurate pic of the color to send to my sis, but its just not happening

thanks pelohello! I'm only BSL in the back, once the middle of my hair catches up then I'll claim bsl. I'm hoping by March I'll be at full BSL. You can't kick me out of this challenge that easily! I'm here for the long haul.

 

[NikkiQ]

Who up in here that made BSL that I gotta to make them claim it???!!!

I'm weave AND braid free now so I'll be able to do some sort of LC for tomorrow. Currently DCing. Will wash out and put into 4 big braids soon. Debating on wigging it or bunning it tomorrow for work. 9 times out of 10...WIG!

 

[deedoswell]

Sorry the pics are so big you guys. They're from a few promos I did since I've been home. Seems to be all I've been doing since I've been back.

Nikki, you hair looks great!!! I love it!

 

[deedoswell]

Ladies looking good!!! I did a henna over the weekend and my sister said my ends needed a trim, so I trimmed. I've gotta stop cutting off my progress. So I think I will pass this month's length check - I don't have anything new to show!
