:spank:Girl :spank: You :spank: Better :spank:Take :spank: Those:spank: IRON SUPPLEMENTS! I take mine every single day and I have them sitting right on top of the microwave so I won't forget! Seriously, it's not just for your hair.....you could always just eat more iron rich foods and cook with a cast iron pan

I'm trying to do better! I just hate taking pills so I have been eating a lot more iron rich foods, promise!
 
Ladies I am itching to straighten my hair. Not roller set it but break out the flat iron and really get it straight. What's funny is I don't even know what box it's packed in I just have the urge to do it.

Thanks for listening!
 
@ Chas ~ I'll make you a deal. For each day you take your iron, I'll not flat iron my hair. =)

Don't you just love positive reinforcement?

IntheMix08 I'm borderline anemic and my hair growth is directly related to that. I am suppose to take vitamins but I can never remember. When I do take my vitamins consistently I average about 4-4.5"/yr (I'm guessing since I just started paying attention; Side note:I have no idea where the spurt of growth came from this last year); when I don't take them like I should I normally get about 3-3.5"/yr. It's all about retention.

Well chasturner84, you are doing well for yourself in the rention department, but I'm with the other ladies! Take those iron supplement!!!


:welcome4: drmuffin to the challenge! It's not too late.
 
Ok Ms. Chas, we have ourselves a deal. I'll switch to pm's so that we don't clutter the group thread too much but I warn you I have a teensy tiny case of OCD so I'll be checking on you often.

***HUGS***

I. AM. IN. I hope to grow out these layers, and be full APL (after a trim) by December 30, 2011, God willing. I'll post a starting picture on October 1, 2010.

-Wash every 2 weeks. Shampoo with Aphogee Deep Moisture Shampoo.
-Apply Aphogee Keratin 2 Minute Reconstructor for 5 minutes in shower.
-Deep condition with heat for 20 minutes with Aphogee Balancing Moisturizer.
-Apply a cocktail of stuff as a leave-in.
-Rollerset under Pibbs 514 for 60 minutes with 2 inch rollers (purple).

What Products are you using?
-All I use between washes is Homocrin Natural Nourishing Conditioner For Dry and Brittle Hair, only a dab on my ends every couple days.

What are you specifically doing to achieve BSL in 2011?

External
-Wear my hair up in between washes.
-Deep condition with heat and rollerset with every wash.
-Only use direct heat (flat iron) when I get a touch-up (4/1/11, 7/1/11, 10/1/11, 12/30/11).

Internal
-Drink 2 liters of water a day, with MSM.
-Eating lots of fruits and veges, and eat healthy.
-Exercise at least 4 days a week.
-Get at least 7 hours of sleep each night.
-Pray :yep:

I know this plan is pretty simple, but it is feasbile for me. I anticipate growing 1/4 of an inch each month. That's 3.75 in the next 15 months. I think my hair grows faster than that, but I want to account for my trims.

I may be getting kinky twists from October to November. It's hurricane season here in FL and I don't feel like fighting against the weather! I will post a pic before I get that done.
 
I think I'm onto something for retaining length. I just made my own half wig and it looks amazing! I will be wearing it with my hair braided until I get my next relaxer and I will do a length check then in November. I have alot of curly new growth that my hair only touches my shoulders when wet, when it's dry I am neck length. Anywho, here is my video on how I made my wig and the end result!

@ Kiesha ~ Welcome and I have to agree on the hair. It looks amazing!

@ Leesh ~ If I wore wigs I'd want to rock one like the one you made. Great work!
 
Hi ladies! I am in a sew in, my first self-install! I'm so proud! Just giving my hair a break - I think I will keep it about 4 weeks. Here are some pics (click to enlarge):
