Thank you for this! Sorry I'm joining late. Supplementing my participation in the luscious ends challenge.

~Current hair length--I'm not sure, but I think about at my shoulder blades, maybe 2.5 inches from APL? My hair is wavy in this pic and I don't feel up to straightening it, but it gives us a gist.
~Relaxed/Natura/Texlaxed/Loc'd--Relaxed
~APL goal month--Well it took me 2 mos to go from my "at my shoulders" to here, so maybe another 2-3 to get to APL. Say April.
~Current Reggie and styling choices--I baggy every night under a shower cap and a hat. Usually use UBH satin creme and castor oil but sometimes just the bag. Usually throw my hair up in a clip in the AM. Only manipulation is when I wash it, or when I have an event and get it done. Wash once a week and take biotin and prenatal vitamins. Getting a few tracks today though for a special occasion, but I'll take them out within a week because I find when I get partial weaves my normal hair suffers.
~What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to APL? The occasions I wear my hair out, it brushes my scarf; I have to diligently put it up. 8 glasses of wtr a day.
~Post a beginning picture--the sweatshirt is nov 9 2011; the bra pic is jan 13 2012

Girrrrrrl you got this Kerryann! What was your original goal month?Might have to bump it up to make it sooner

 

[Kerryann]

I think it was June but i was just say that with a wish and a prayer but now i'm convince its going to happen i just need to keep up with what i'm doing

 

[bajandoc86]

I am REALLY looking forward to braiding up my hair with extensions and leaving it alone for close to 2 months. I am loving twists and twistouts, but now I'm in the mood for something else.

 

[NikkiQ]

Been taking my Nioxin, Biotin, and multi-vitamins this week so far. I bought two of those weekly pill holder thingies a while back. Gonna actually use them now. Since I got a little down time before the game comes on (WHO DAT!) I'm gonna go ahead and get my pills ready for the next 2 weeks Debating on using the rest of my BM sulfur serum or not.

Ahh girl take it where you can, right?

 

[GIJane]

Just finished washing and conditioning my hair. Can you say tangles galore. I am just going to let it air dry. Really frustrated. It looks like I am about to have a setback.

I only took it for a month i took my last pill monday if im correct...check the previous page for the pics i posted because i went from cbl to just almost 2inches past cbl in 1 1/2 months so im sure it played a part i need to order more though

My hair is feeling dry again!

Qhemets store is still closed, so I have to go to the store and find something moisturizing I guess. I have a lil twist butter left and I believe I have some AOHC around, but I can't find it! Some parts are soft and moisturized and some parts to me feel dry. It could be all in my head though. I get lil paranoid at times.

 

[lovely_locks]

My hair is also so dry. And I'm still shedding. I think my hair is suffering due to my diet.

[pookaloo83]

Ok I found my AOHC. Softened my hair right up! I feel better now. I got them in my celie braids for the night.

 

[kupenda]

I haven't yet curbed my shedding but the Dominican salon I like has some that I've used before and really like. Looks like I'll be getting my hair done this weekend. Cuz I'm still shedding like a werewolf with mange

have you tried the black tea rinse? it worked for me. i was having shedding/hair loss from a box of hair color. it cleared it up for me after i did it for two weeks.

 

[Evolving78]

i didn't do anything to my hair. and i have been trying to give myself a pedi for a week now. i gave my brother one today, gave my DD one during the week, and my SO one last weekend. i got these men over here feet lookin right, but mine looks like a joke. terrible how we take care of others and not ourselves. i will get up early tomorrow to take care of me

 

[Evallusion]

Been braided up for a week...Sooo not missing my hair... Time is flying...

 

[AyannaDivine]

^^^Day 3 of two strand twists...not missing my hair either! Loves me some protective styles

 

[lilyofthenile]

I'm going on week one of my protective styles, seven more to go! Just need to deep condition and shampoo today.

I texlaxed Friday at 13 weeks post. My hair retained some good length and is becoming more healthier. I want to do a color rinse but uncertain if it would cause damage. Anyone use jazzing hair dye? Does it harm your hair? I was also thinking to mix it with a conditioner then apply it.

Jazzing is safe. it could be used as a rinse or a semi permanent color, depending on how long you allow it to stay on before rinsing. i am going to do a permanent color and then maintain with a semi permanent. i am just trying to get rid of this red hair color i have.

just rinse really well and condition afterwards.

 

[NikkiQ]

All this dye talk is making me want to dye mine again lol

Yes I cant wait to do mine! I want to do it today but I just hate doing any type of chemical kind of things when my kids are home... So tomorrow when they go to school its on.

 

[Niknak20]

I'm in single braids, lol I'm loving the freedom of PSing. Idk when I'll take them out maybe mid February when I do I'll length check. I'm excited to see where I am. I've been learning a lot from you guys.
