Froreal3 If it looks straight :look: I'll take a pic :lol: I plan to add a little hair to make the braids look fatter since my hair is on the finer side.

@ PureSilver, thank you for your response :yep:. That was the most simplest and well explained information I have come across yet regarding hair porosity. Based upon the test I have low porosity hair, knowing this will now help me better define my hair regimen.

Go to a wig store and try on short wigs so you can see what a cut might look like on you.

Coolsista-paris i go and play with wigs and end up buying them because i either need a break from my hair, a change or just to keep my hands out of my it while i'm letting it grow out. As ImanAdero mentioned, definitely a good way to find out if a look/cut is good for you.

In fact you may decide not to cut and just where wigs for awhile if your growing your hair out. I'm doing a pixie cut now, here is a pic. How long is your hair now?

Washed my crochet kinky twists for the first time this am. I prepooed with wild growth hair oil and cleanse my scalp with Diluted V05 clarifying kiwi conditioner, I tea rinsed with bamboo and peppermint tea. My scalp feels great and my hair smells good. Trying to see just how long I can keep these in. It all depends on how fast my hair grows I guess...3 weeks Saturday
 
I think my hair is finally closing in on BSL. Before putting in this set of crochet braids, when I pulled my hair it just barely grazed BSL, but I wouldn't feel right claiming it until it touched on it's own. So hopefully I don't do anything crazy and can grow and retain my way to BSL by the end of the year.
 
Had the best dream last night just wanted to share. My hair was in a ponytail high on my head with the biggest, thickest afro puff I've ever seen. I was loving it!!! *sigh*
 
Once again my texlax touch up got my edges too straight :-( It only stayed on for 10 minutes with no smoothing. I'm not sure why it's so straight. Next touch up I think I'll put oil on my edges.

I'm back to bunning until my next salon appointment in early December. The overly straight edges make my buns look nice. :-|

I need the MBL challenge in my life. If I stop trimming my hair so often, I can move past BSL and move in the MBL. But at least my ends are healthy.
 
Installed a weave on the 26th of this month and plan on keeping it until the 26th of december. After that, I will need a good protein/moisture balance treatment and see where I am at.
Picture: my weave

I'm all in for the MBL Challenge :-) I'm currently Brastrap. I did reach Midback two years ago but had to start all over due to getting a Blow Out at the Dominicans that took all my hair out in the back. Never again:nono: but I'm back at BS and ready to hit MB again:lick: Sign me up please.

**Question of the Day**
(haven't done this in a while)

As we close end on the end of the year ALREADY (geez this year is flying by), what are some things that you learned/discovered about your hair? Anything that helped you thrive? Did you change your reggie all together because of it?
Click to expand...
I have learned to not fix what ain't broke. My hair likes what it likes and only wants what it likes. :lol: Whenever I stray from my routine bad things happen. I don't have to have that can take abuse if I even look at it the wrong way it will do a tap dance right off my head.
It's not like it is hard to care for, it's not like I have to go out and do a rain dance to get my hair to play nice, but I get bored or lazy or just want to try something new hence way I've been stuck at APL for what seems like forever.
I have learned my lesson. :look: Ready for BSL 2014! Sign me up!!
 
I'm getting my hair texlaxed on Saturday so I'm just in time for the new challenge beginning photo!!!
