BC Thread Tracker!!

Re: JULY BC Thread Tracker!!

My big chop was July 21st.
I went 19 months before I completely chopped. (did a mini chop in June).
Went from BSL to SL(straightened). Had a couple of setbacks because I can't keep my hands out of my hair. My staple products are:
Shampoo: used to be CON green label, looking for a new one
Conditioner: GVP Conditioning balm, protein-aphogee 2 min
leave in, stylers etc: Giovanni direct leave in, shea butter, coconut oil

Check out my siggy

Re: JULY BC Thread Tracker!!

Daaaaang! Look at ya'll up in here just doing the thang!! I would say that I need to step it up too, but I'm lazy so I probably won't I've just been wash-n-go'ing it up pretty much, and trying to perfect that.

I did do a puff though!! I cut up a stocking and it works really well! I only kept it up for like an hour or so to experiment and didn't take pics, so I'll have to do another one for display purposes. I can't hardly compete with some of you divas though

Yeah yeah, I know, worthless without pics, But I just wanted to say hi!

Re: JULY BC Thread Tracker!!

Hey, ya'll I just installed a water filter shower head and I LOVE IT! My hair feels softer and fluffier since I installed. (I also noticed my feet didn't get as crusty on the bottom either today...LOL)

Also, can someone tell me what they think of BKT? Any recent BC'ers interested in it? I guess I don't understand what it really is...is it like a texturizer that's kinda temporary? Is it supposed to be like having a texturizer, but not really getting one? I'm corn-fused...erplexed

@ the feet had to highlight it to read ha ha!!! I dont know too much about BKT but southerntease did it and she documents it on her website mandandchic.com....i know it takes a lot of heat when first applied and it last a few months with your curl pattern gradually coming back with each wash!!

I gotta stop comin' in here with no pics of what I'm talking about

I wish I could say that I did them myself My hairdresser did it for me. I had the rest of the relaxed ends that keep popping up everywhere chopped off and then decided that getting some twists couldn't hurt.

I'm the same way. I've been chopping at some straight ends since my BC. The front of my hair is a lot looser than the rest, and I find myself wanting to chop a lot of it off, but I catch myself and just work with it..lol.

Im trying! Im just inpatient. Ive already got my look picked out. Once Im cut and styled as a true workable natural then ill start my hair growth journey. Until then, shape this MO' FO up so I can rock it! Na' mean?

This is TOO funny! I have been cutting pieces here and there since I chopped and I vowed that I would not cut anything until like 3-4 months from now when I have maybe and inch or so of growth. I may even try and hold up until the New Year...Do I smell a "Recent BCer/No Snip" challenge????? I do believe I have issues...



This was my latest that I cut, JUST TODAY....


Here's what I started with after the BC and I straightened/cut it to make it into a style:


Here's where I am today, less than a month later:


Anyone want to join me in a "Recent BCer/No Snip" challenge until Jan 1?????

Meaning, we cannot touch a pair of scissors until after the beginning of the New Year. FOR ANY REASON....


My issue is that I keep imagining that I have scab hair and or relaxed ends still left on the end and when i twist, they wouldn't curl, so I cut them.

I CAN honestly say, tho that I love the new shorter do and the styling and care is SOOO easy (and bc of this sometimes I feel like I just want to keep my hair at this length for a minute...)...and I can still pull into a nice puff and/or pony tail, so I am not stressing too bad....I guess.....erplexed...Somebody help me....
