For CoWash Saturday, I:
- Pre-poo'd overnight with my AVJ mix and Spectrum coconut oil on the ends.
- I applied Shea Moisture Manuka DC and went under my heat cap for a little over 1 hour.
- Used CC Natural's scalp scrub, CW'd my length with Jakeala Flax Mallow, reconstructed with Ion & rinsed out 80% of Oyin Honey Hemp Conditioner.
- LCOB'd with L = Jakeala Pineapple Protein Spray, C = Treluxe Untie the Knot & Hawaiian Silky, O = Queens Curls Safflower & Macadamia Healing on length & Kreyol Essence Lemon HBCO on edges & B = Hairitage Hydration Caramel Frappuccino on scalp & Zipporah Beauty Sweet Orange Shea Cocoa Moist on ends.
I'm getting excited about my LC on Friday! Although a need a good trim, I'm anxious to see my pre-trim progress and hope I have made BSL. Even if the trim takes me up a little with healthy ends I know I can get it back quickly.

Today is going to wash and detangle day

Still pushing ahead with my simplified reggie. My last two detangling sessions I did while I was super tired (not good), and ended up ripping out hair. Now my right side at the nape is a little bit shorter than the left. Aww well. At least I realised early in the year, so I can correct that behavior.
I have my check in visit with Reniece next weekend, so I will see what progress I made if any.
How cold is DC currently btw? This island chick is a little worried about the winter weather.

- Pre-poo'd overnight with my AVJ spritz & coconut oil.
- Applied Mane Choice Green Tea & Carrots DC and went under my heat cap for a little over 1 hour.
- Shampoo'd with Coco Curls, CW'd my length with Ynobe's Pumpkin Silk, reconstructed with Ion & rinsed out 80% of V05 Island Coconut Conditioner & ACV rinse.

Hi Ladies, checking in with my March length check a little early! My hair grew just under 2 inches from my last LC at the end of December. Before my trim I was grazing BSL, but desperately need to get those ends trimmed so now I am about 2 inches away. Prayerfully with no setbacks I can be full BSL by June. Below are my pics.
The first is from December LC; the second is my hair today before trim and the 3rd is after trim and a few curls.

I did a wash last night/this morning. pre poo and detangled with cantu argan oil leave in (I am in search of another pre poo for my relaxed hair after I finish this off) and coconut oil in the middle where my high porosity hair is. sat with this in for about an hour. washed in sections with Giovanni tea tree poo, conditioned for 15 min under heating cap ( a protein combo of knox gelatin, Aubrey organics gpb & protein filler), then dc without heat a combo of Aubrey organics white camellia con & wheat germ oil for 10 min. lightly blowdried my roots and air dried until damp, then applied oyin hair dew& kc knot today on hair. sealed with avocado oil and wrapped up hair. when I woke up my hair was soft and had great elasticity. I put kinky curly pool party on my hair and my hair is so soft! I think I want to do a light dusting of my ends tonight. my hair is not going to be as long as I hoped for the check in, but I want it to be healthy first.

I need to wash my hair today. It's time for a moisturizing dc so I'll use Oleo Relax mask. I'm not sure if I should dust today on a lengthening day or during the Spring Equinox on a thickening day.

@shawnyblazes I hope the shedding subsides soon. How is the little man doing?
@ajargon02 How close are you to your goal? I can see progress in your pictures. Congratulations!
@Daina Great progress! Is your last picture a roller set? Or did you use a wand curler?
I'm still rolling on in my goddess braids. This weekend I'll stay in and mini twist my hair. I may have to do my progress picture in April since I'll be off every Friday that month. I'll have more time to focus on me. Last weekend, I experimented with a flat twist out. My hair didn't give me the volume that I wanted but I think I did ok for my first try. I definitely need a trim.

I like your twists @traceedeebee they look neat and juicy. Your twist out looks good too (even without the necessary trim
). That's a good first try
. Great results!

Forgive me for sounding silly, but there are special times to trim our hair? Do the special days really work? Cause if so I need to jump on this! Lol but l just dusted my ends a couple days ago , when is the next day? Do these days affect anything else with our hair?

People do their trims, chemical treatments and other things based on phases of the moon. I use the Morrocco Method. I dust every 3 months on a beneficial trim day. I figure if I'm going to trim it might as well be on a day that might boost growth.

Thank you! I wish I could flat twist into a style where I don't have to take them down like you can.

You can. The twist that you had there can be twisted together towards the back and pinned up.
Start angling your parts a little more to the back. You have the length so the rest is easy.

Thx so much! I hope to make it to full apl no later than December of this yr. I have layers, so the front is just below collar bone. I don't feel like I am that close to full apl in the back though. I am just barely grazing it.
