Looking good!!! Altruisticoam have you established a length goal for the year?? Have you met your goal already? If not, when do you think you'll reach it??

What about the rest of us?

My goal is to be BSL by December of this year. I believe I'm about 2-2.5" inches away so I might need every bit of this year to accomplish that. I have hair anorexia a lot; some days I see it and other days I feel like I'm 5" away from BSL. I am seriously considering texlaxing.

I have a lofty goal of grazing SL by 12/31. However, I would need an inch every month in order to meet that goal. We'll see. I'm about to go hard core.

Altruisticoam, your hair looks great!

So ladies in an attempt to track my hair progress a little better I think I should start wearing the same shirt every time I do a length check. I also made this pre-school drawing...I know it's sloppy but do these lines look about right? (The first line says current, just in case you can't read my writing lol)

i want to be there too by Dec. i want full SL.

I had some very lofty goals for this year but now I've gotten a grip and have come back to earth. I'm shooting for a full (no pulling one strand- ) BSL by Dec 31. If I can keep to my current schedule of only two more relaxers this year and prevent setbacks I can do it. I am definitely texlaxing...I bought the Linange Texturizer and I can't wait to use it.

please report back and give us a review on it!

shortdub78 I want to texlax because I have fine and low density hair. My stylist always leave a tad bit if texture but I realize I need more if I ever want to wear my hair down and have a really cute bun. I'm almost BSL and my buns still look small sickly so I figured thicker hair will give me the look I want. I know it's going to be a challenge to manage texlaxed hair but I figure I can start incorporating weekly roller sets to keep my strands straight to maintain moisture. I will more often than not use my big magnetic rollers for the straight look and then wear my hair in a protective style.

Hi ladies! What supplements are you taking?

When I first began my hhj, I was taking tons of supplements and I then one day...two years later I realized I wasn't getting the results that would warrant me to continue splurging on all the supplements like MSM, biotin, viviscal, hairfinity and Nioxin. Nioxin had my hair growing like weeds but then they discontinued it.

Currently I'm taking GNC Hair, Skin & Nails, I'm also women's collagen and iron complete, all by GNC. I'm thinking of going back on biotin and a B12 complex for the remainder of the year. I'm thinking that because I was taking them non-stop throughout that time, maybe I had become resistant to them and they stopped working.

I'm taking chlorella, biotin, msm, omega 3 fatty acid, garlic, and soon to be Toji hair vitamins. I drink a green smoothie daily or almost daily that contains collagen powder, flaxseeds, protein powder, and super green food.

I still want to add bamboo extract to the list as well. I just haven't ordered yet.

I ordered bamboo leaf tea a while back, I should reorder. I also take Chia seeds in my oatmeal and green smoothies along with Maca Powder. I had run out of my Maca capsules but won't be replacing them because I have the powder. The Maca helps with my hormonal moods.


As for the omega 3's I eat a ton of salmon to get mine.

I'm pretty bad...I use to do a multi vitamin and biotin. Now all I take is the multi vitamin. I'm thinking about trying the biotin again...it just made my hair feel hard, but maybe I wasn't drinking enough water??

 

[EnExitStageLeft]

KiWiStyle the only supplements I take are Swansonsvitamins MineralMax and Viviscal......Am I consistent? I cant even remember the last time I took either of them erplexed.

This reminds me...I've also been taking Mineral Rich liquid supplement m, I take it whenever I think about it. I'm almost done with the bottle and won't be repurchasing.

We've got to be more consistent with our vitamins or else what's the point. I took mine consistently twice a day for about two years and then I just got tired of popping them. I started back but I just can't seem to get back into that hardcore consistency like before.

Hey buddies!!! I've been super busy with school and work stuff, but I'm hanging on. No, I did not get my corrective. But I did go to the salon. I have not been to the salon in almost a year!!! I had forgotten how much I missed it. My stylist did an assessment of my hair, told me it was in good shape. I asked if I needed a trim and she said no. I couldn't believe it. I did ask her to shape it and give me layers, which she did and I was able to maintain my length. She relaxed my new growth and told me the underprocessed areas were not as bad as I thought and she would correct them during the next relaxer.

I am very pleased with the results and don't ever plan on doing another self relaxing session if I don't have to. I need to take some pics, but I've gotten several compliments on my hair. She even gave me some tips and suggestions on how to continue to maintain my hair at home.

Glad you had a great salon experience. I think I was hooked when she told you that you did not need a trim and that your hair was in good shape. Was this an alien stylist or something?..........never heard those words before....
