2015 APL/BSL Challenge

Besides helping my mom and sister by keeping up with their hair; I've started helping a 4B/C girlfriend of mine who has SL hair with a concrete regimen and products to buy :)
 
been wearing my twists up in 2 flat twists since sunday. will keep it like this until my condition rinse day (thursday), then i'll probably put it back up in the same style.

almost forgot to invert yesterday, but then i remembered at like 1030pm haha. so that got done. today would be the 7th day.
 
I reached top of bsl. Washed and dc over the weekend. I also did mini twist that will stay in for two weeks. Haven't been on my washing through out the week, more like 1x biweekly. My hair doing well retaining so can't complain. I snapped this pic before I did twists

Washed my hair today. Clarified with ACV/ cayenne pepper/ water. Cowashed and DCed for 1hr 30mins with Tea Tree Tingle and a hot towel/baggy. Used a clay mix of rhassoul, bentonite, cayenne pepper, honey and a splash of ACV and let that sit for 1hr 30mins.

After rinsing, I applied my leave-in and gel and blotted my roots with a t shirt. I'm hoping it dries enough so I can wear a puff tomorrow. Will probably be dry and looking full by next wash day smh.

You have made amazing progress since your avatar picture was taken. You are doing a great job with your hair. Congrats on making BSL.:yep:
 
I need to purchase some castor oil and oil my scalp on a regular basis. Also these edges of mine.

I was in a challenge to do this a few years ago and it thickened my fine hair considerably.
 
Man. Here I went rushing to bed after watching netflix thinking I was gonna spend a lil time with SO...this fool is so knocked that he even drooled on MY pillow! Ugh. I skipped a full m&s, scalp massage, and everything for him. Not getting up now. Just do it tomorrow I guess :/

Lol your SO and mine both. He's just snoring away. Ah well bed time for me
 
this is how my hair's been looking. :look: going back to work tomorrow so guess what I'm gonna do? Smooth the sides without redoing this bun. Yes, that's a bun, or rather, what's left of what was once a pretty decent bun. #PreludeToWashDay

I finally flat ironed my hair. I love my results but next time I'm getting a blow out.

Please excuse my mug. Being sick and standing all that time in the bathroom took a toll on my back.

Nice results. You are making good progress.
 
Wore my hair in a puff today. My first puff where the band didn't irritate me in some way by either squeezing the life out of my head or slipping off to create a pony 'puff'. Love my dry volume but alas, I am beginning my wash tonight.

DCed last night and completed my wash today. My roots are still wet/ damp. I've put it into 3 flat twists and baggied for bed.
 
I've used Giovanni SAS condish about 6 times now, and I won't be repurchasing it. The Root 66 Max Volume condish is WAAAAAYY better for my hair :lick:. And it's weird, but my hair has reverted to looking and feeling exactly how it did when I was only using Bentonite clay, ACV, and oils. The main difference is that I could get more days out of my hair with my homemade reggie than using SAS :spinning:

I'm tried of my TWA again, so I might do a rollerset and flatiron if I have the time this weekend.
 
Getting some much needed tlc tonight. I gotta go back to my scalp massages. I stopped but idk why. My hair and scalp were loving me
 
I straightened my hair tonight, and :bdance:. This was my best blowdrying and flatironing session ever!!! I followed the exact routine of a Youtuber I found, and the 4 hours it usually takes to do my hair got cut down to 2 hrs and 10 mins :yep:. All I used was sweet almond oil (like the YTer did), and that was the magic sauce!!!

@ckisland your hair grew fast! Did you use a heat protectant or leave in with the oil? Or just oil?

Thank you!!!!! :grin: I didn't use heat protectant or leave-in. After I shampoo'd, DC'd, and rinsed, I rubbed through some sweet almond oil. Then I went on and blowdried and flatironed :yep: .

I'm still excited about my hair, so I added a couple more pics. And I can do a PONYTAIL :superbanana:!!!!!!!
