I got my 1/2 inch trim today so I'm ready to hold off on the scissors until June by stretching my relaxers and covering my ends. Maybe she will give 1 heat pass? When is your BC anniversary? As for the product purchase from one to product junkie to the next, you can never have too much!! :lol:

Thanksgiving 2012...been feeling like my hair is out of wack. So I did this blowout. Grazing BSL stretched, but my ends look thin :-(. Trying to decide if I want to flatiron or not...or if I need to trim...
Click to expand...

Ur ends don't look thin and I think it's impossible to tell on a blow out of natural hair. Ur hair is probably just bunched up in most places and those "thin" looking areas are the strands that got straightened more. I say leave it till u flat iron
 
Sooo after my corrective about two weeks ago my hair was feeling very hard , don't know if it was due to the hard protein treatment the next week but I've been trying to fix it since. I DC'ed and ACV rinse the back last week ( was in a crazy rush and couldn't bare to dry the whole thing. Protective styled ( pics below) where I slathered the front with moisturizers and oil b4 braiding.

Right now I'm dry DCing with suave humectress, neutrogena triple moisture and olive oil. Hope this fixes everything.

Im in!

~Current hair length- APL
~Relaxed
~BSL goal month-April 2013
~Current Reggie and styling choices
Still tweaking this. stretching relaxers, PSing with buns and weaves occasionally. decreasing heat and manipulation
~What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to BSL? I may decrease my stretching period so my ng isn't so miserable and increase my deep conditioning

It's just a 6 months no heat challenge Sistawithrealhair on YouTube is doing I think it starts dec 21 ends first day of spring :-)
 
The dry DC and olive oil was a major success. I left it in for 3 or so hours while cleaning and my hair feels 100% different. I acv'ed again then did quick conditioner. Dried with my microfiber .. And. I'm telling yah that that cloth makes a HUGE difference in dry time. I bought a pack of 10 for cheap at home depot ( $7). Blow dried on medium heat for not even 5 min total. Did a quick braid pattern in front, twist out in back.

Notes: I gotta stop putting conditioner in my relaxer cuz even after a corrective I'm underprocessed. Makes sense cuz I use to use super and now I'm using normal plus conditioner.

- need to find cuter protective style for front. Something neat but still grown up, lol. Wish i cud twist. My front needs major TLC. Avoiding flat ironing.

Will wear back mostly pinned up.
 
I'm seriously thinking about getting an install of crochet braids. I have been watching a few YouTube tutorials and they turn out beautifully. This seems easy to do and easy to maintain as a protective style. I could switch up styles often and wear for 6 weeks an install. Plus I would be able to care for my hair underneath as well as my scalp. Hmmmmm just thinking aloud

Thank you! No, I wish it was. I wouldn't be in this challenge if it were. My goal is to have twist this long down my back. My hair is a little past shoulder length in the back. Maybe this protective style will help me get there sooner than planned. I need to hurry up and get that starting pic in here. Can I just take one out and stretch the hair the put it back in will that count? Lol

Current hair length
A little past apl, I think. My hair plays tricks on :-/ You can tell me based on my pic[\i]

Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Loc'd

I am recently texlaxed....like, two days ago, recently

BSL goal month

ehhh, whenever it happens. I was hoping for the end of December, but it seems a little unlikely now, so whenever works for me!!

Current Reggie and styling choices

Since I'm a new texlaxer I have a whole new Reggie to plan and figure out. I guess I can attribute getting this far to long term protective styling (braid extensions and the like), But I'll update as I learn:)

What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to BSL?

Nothing yet. I guess I will see as I go.

going to try this ORS mayo today. i haven't been experiencing much breakage this week, and want to keep it going. i hate getting in the shower often to rinse my hair. i may use the sprayer from the kitchen sink to rinse, and do my final rinse in the shower.

Gorgeous hair!
 
I washed my mini braids today. I'm going to continue wearing my mini braids until the end of April and check to see if I've made it to BSL. If not, I'll continue wearing them until I make BSL. I'm not sure if I will wear them on my journey to MBL or not. It all depends on how much (or little) work they are as my hair grows out.

Still on my vitamin regimen. I'm also juicing and trying to increase my water intake.
 
I washed, blow dried, and flat ironed my hair today. It's wrapped and tied with a silk scarf now but here are some pics:
