2015 APL/BSL Challenge

So my 2 year son locked himself in the guest bathroom and got into my stash. He emptied out a whole jar of Kerastase Chroma Riche Mask ($60). I am pretty bummed about it, but lately my hair seems to like the new Therapiste mask better. I'm not sure if I will repurchase the Chroma Riche.

I decided to keep my high end products in my own bathroom from now on.

Have any of your little ones ever got into your hair products?

My son is 13 now, but when he was about 1-1/2 years old, I was looking all over my parents house for him because he had gotten pretty quiet and I found him on the stairwell sitting peacefully brushing Vaseline through his hair and he had the most serious look on his face and you couldn't tell him he didn't know what he was doing!
He evidently had seen me putting some hairdressing in my hair or his uncle brushing grease in his hair I guess and he thought, this is the thing to do.
It was just so cute, you couldn't even be mad lol

Oh my I would be bummed too. Did he at least get a good DC lol? Poor baby
 
Wow. I haven't commented on this doe a while. I made APL last year and was really happy about my growth, buy I had to get it cut this year because I was suffering with split ends. I had to.cut off about 3 inches so I went back to about collar bone length.

So far it has grown back nicely but o won't make it to Apl this year.

The struggle is real. 5 years growing my hair and still struggling to get to apl.

I don't think my hair likes me lool

I'm nine years in girl it's alright lol we'll get there one day
 
Woop woop!!! You definitely will! !! How exciting! I'm happy for your hair lol.. one day my own will look like that.. one day. I'm inspired

Dudes. My curls are as big as a pencil... lead... the mechanical size lol. They are soooo super tiny. Perfect curls, but oh so tiny. My ultimate goal is shoulder length unstretched. Then I'll take a kadrillion photos because I never see any photos of other girls with my curl. It's not super kinky, but it's not a big curl like 4a...except the back. Its confused. I think my confused hair curl twins need to unite

Pen coils are what I call mine. I have pen coils, straight kinky hair in the front, looser waves in the nape, and coconut husk in the middle lol
 
I spent all of yesterday taking down my mini twists. My roots were like a tangled web. Next time I'll be careful to make sure I keep adequate tension as I twist. I'll wash my hair after I do another finger detangling session. I put my hair in four cornrows to give the rest of the shed hair time to come out. I don't want to freak myself out again in the shower by thinking there's a spider on my shoulder. I plan to do a light protein treatment. I'll put my hair in two cornrows for the week.

I am proud of myself. I went to look at the back of my hair and was pleasantly surprised at how full it is. My sides are filling in nicely. When I decided to stop relaxing my hair, I never thought it was possible that it could grow past my shoulders.

I have fine strands, medium to low density. I had been relaxed 32 years and I couldn't keep hair in the nape section. It would grow three inches and break off. I have a permanent bald spot from a super strength relaxer applied when I was ten. I guess I have to thank my last stylist for putting me on this path.

Please excuse the dirty hair and mirror. I had to document it before I dismissed myself as being arrogant.

When a new APL/BSL challenge is created, I'll definitely be in it. This challenge has helped keep me focused but not obsessive or too obsessive:D

Its looking good. It's hanging nicely.
 
I washed my hair, detangled and redid my braids. I didn't lose a lot of hair and my hair wasn't difficult to comb. I just hope next wash day is this easy. Total time for wash, dc and braids was 1 hour and 15 minutes. Not bad considering my braids are pretty small.

Products used: Silk Elements scalp treatment, Suave clarifying shampoo, Biotera weightless shine mask and Garnier Sleek and shine cream.

See, you didn't need that other DC. Your son was just reducing your stash and enhancing his curls.
(Please, don't punch me)

I enjoyed your post. This was one of my favorite parts. I agree! ! I'll hopefully be in the next challenge with you.
....

I sure did go to work with my baggie under my wig (kinky hair wig). HA! every time I touch it, its like. .. crackle crackle crackle HAHAHAAA... I'm trying to remember not to.

I put on my DC last night, slept in it because I got distracted then sleepy, and didn't want to have dripping hair under my wig this morning, do I got a really great dc. It's all good. I needed it. Plus, I will get my money's worth, right?

I hope you are in the next with me or you've progressed to the next level up. I lurk in all of them as a way to relax after a tough day at work. I'm so bad I've been going through the historical challenges. Am I the only person who does that?

I tried to baggy at night. It drove me nuts. Does it make you hot? I was always having night sweats when I wore a baggy. And that sound...you're a good one. Much better than me. My wig would be coming off so I could get to that baggy. Then I itched. You're doing amazing! What kind of DC do you have? You will definitely get your money's worth. I ran out of DC but I've been too lazy to look for more. I just use my Aussie Moist. I need a real one before it gets cold
