2015 APL/BSL Challenge

My hurr gettin long again. Yass


Saturday I used the Beautiful Textures Texture Manageability System (second time). I washed and deep conditioned my hair last night. My hair is different. I have 4c patches at my temples. They don't have a curl pattern, and shrink wayyyy up. But after washing, they curled, coiled, and waved like the rest of my hair. It was wild. I don't mind, because this will make it easier to wash n go. But for those of you who are concerned about texture change, it's something to keep in mind
 
the ends of my Heaven wig came a little on the ratty side. finally got around to flat ironing them this morning.

i cut the ends of a little section of my bangs. they look good now.
i kind of fell off with my moisturizing.. i've been doing it, but i'd like to do it more, so i will
 
I'm supposed to go to a water park next week so I gotta figure out what to do with my hair. I'd rather not get it wet at all... Since my kids will be there I will most likely be in the kiddie area and lazy river. I could do a high bun with a scarf around my edges...
 
A kinda sorta length check from my 5 day old rollerset + flatiron

I watched a really good blow dry video on youtube earlier. A guy was doing a blowout on a transitioning client. He used a wide tooth comb and then demnan brush. Now I want a denman brush... I've read mixed reviews though

For me, they're fine as long as you're gentle and the teeth don't have any snags. I recently bought a new one after a conversation on here had me looking at my (very) old one with new eyes. I don't plan on using it unless I'm tension blow drying.
 
Hi ladies....just saving my spot...started a new job in may and its been hectic. Ive been hiding my hair under u-part wigs(my norm) and vowed to have a heat free summer so ive been rockingbox braids since june 1st..they are commimg out soon bc my new growth is taking over..cant wait to blowdry so i can see if i made any progress or not... Will update when i do.
 
I got a tangle teaser brush today and a comb attachment for my blow dryer. Hopefully the tangle teaser is gentle and effective. If not the lady at Sally's told me to bring it back.
I LOVE the tangle teaser! I highly recommend it. I save so much hair and TIME detangling. I love that thing. I don't know what I would do without it

I pulled the back section of my left side down to see where it lands. It's a bit past my collarbone.

I'm taking my prenatal vitamins again. One a day and I got a 90 day bottle. My doctor told me that if they help, then keep taking them. I think they help my body so much because of the high amount of iron. I have "borderline iron-deficiency anemia." It affects my menstrual cycle, hair growth, all kinds of stuff. It's crazy. This would likely be why my prenatal vitamins help my hair growth, so we'll see what happens by the end of the year :) Although, I am still going to give myself until next July until I straighten it for a real length check because I'm planning on wearing my wigs until the end of next June at least.
 
Hey Ladies,
I have been working diligently on my HG product list. Thankfully I can stop being a product junkie ...after I use up all this other stuff, lol. Its good to have some inderstanding of my hair and what it needs.

OAN : I will be 10 weeks post texturizer at the end of this week so have to decide when to TU. still wearing my wigs too #lifesaver

This 27 looks so amazing with my tan and tan lines. So cute! I think I'll wear this all of August

Eta: I hope my low manipulation yields lots of retention. It feels like it's been forever and it has only been about a month lol. Booo. Time should hopefully be flying soon, however, because I'll be busy this month and for sure after September. Must get (moderately) distracted!
