2016 A P L/b S L Challenge

[Janet']

I've been creeping on the sidelines for waaaaaay too long the year is almost over but is it too late for me to come out hiding?

!!! We new ladies!!! Tell us a little bit about yourself!

I hate inverting but I have to continue because I've been experiencing some great results from it and with that said I just completed day 1 (5 minutes with a 2 minute scalp massage using Netwurks 21) for September.

what are your results when you do invert as opposed to when you dont?

 

[Aggie]

what are your results when you do invert as opposed to when you dont?

My hair barely moves when I don't invert but my gray hairs come through very quickly after just a week of inverting. I know by the growth of my gray hairs after doing a demi color.

Lawd...I'm about to start inverting for the 4th quarter (I joined the Milestone Challenge)...but what I don't need are those pesky greys growing any faster than they already do...UGH!!!! Gotta take the good with the bad, I guess...

I know. Those pesky bad gray hairs come with the good unfortunately.

Just completed day 3 of my inversions with scalp massage.

Yaaaaay! well I'm just city girl


Living in a lonely world.


So I took a CHANCE on the hair forums LOL


I consider myself to be a heat trained natural and I'm just trying to grow out my hair while enjoying it flowing down my back.

Right now my hair is just barely scraping APL and I'm hoping by the new year to get below the shoulder blade!

Well, Welcome City Girl! You've definitely come to the right place. There is a heat-trained natural thread with a wealth of information. Your short term goal is BSB- like me ! What's your long-term (end) goal? Once again, welcome!

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

My not amused face. Halfway blowed out. Gave up and cornrowed it for tonight.

 

[Aggie]

Massaged some Netwurks 21 in my scalp and inverted for 5 minutes - day 4 complete.

I neeeeeeeed to be booty crack length with side swept bangs!! Lol I will have to check out that thread!! And on wash day all be sure to post a pic of my natural curls!

I'm so excited I've been working out and taking my hair growth supplements. When is the next group hair update

 

[Aggie]

This afternoon I used Netwurks 21 on my scalp, moisturized and sealed with DB Sweet Cocoa Beans Hair Whip. Tonight to inverted for 5 minutes, no massage, no oil.

 

[YellowMellow]

Anyone oil their scalp on a daily basis? For 3 weeks I've been oiling my scalp everyday skipping only a few and I'm noticing waaaaaaay less mid strand breakage!! I was suffering really bad. Also my curls are trying to clump!!! but now I HAVE to wash weekly no matter what lol

 

[Aggie]

^^I might need to start oiling my scalp again. That used to work pretty good for me but I am now using Netwurks 21 on my scalp and don't want to put too much stuff on my scalp all at the same time. I'll start again soon though. I've been using my MN oil mixture.

Don't we all!!! LOL. Yes, please post ...we LOVE !!! Ummm, I'm not sure when the next hair update is. @Aggie, do you know?

 

[Daina]

I use the Xcel 21 and have to oil my scalp daily because it causes my scalp to itch...I use a castor/olive/peppermint EO scalp mixture daily.

 

[Janet']

I'm going on holiday with my mom tomorrow (so excited) ...but, I'm concerned about my hair because it's late fall/early Winter in Sydney and I want to make sure that my hair has enough moisture...I think I'm going to re-roll my hair (and not wash it until I get back). By that time, my stand-up dryer will be here so I can do a proper roller-set.

 

[GGsKin]

Water-rinsed, and dusted my ends today. I'm hoping it dries sometime tomorrow, so that it can be full on Saturday (methinks wishfully).

 

[Aggie]

@janet, I think it should have been August. I only update twice a year and believe it or not I think I did twice for the year already in the APL challenge, last month being one of them. I should updated all my challenges then but I forgot.

@YellowMellow Please see above...

 

[HairPleezeGrow]

That in itself is a blessing! Thank you so much!

ETA: Your selfie game is strong!!!

Been so busy with my new job but you made me chuckle lol I needed that smile. And ty I try with my selfies, okay no I don't hence why I always have the same pose smh. I can't take pics like the people in Instagram to save my life lol

 

[HairPleezeGrow]

So I've been so exhausted I tell ya! I started wearing my hair in a puff/ponytail. Tried to wig it at the beginning of the week but nah I just wanted to wear my hair. Everyone at work was like where's the wigs? Why'd you put them away lol (I wore wig Monday thru Wednesday) anyway here's some pics of some of my work makeup. I loved today's bc I used green, teal, and blue shadows and it came out really pretty. This camera just doesn't do it justice whatsoever.
OAN- non hair related but I glued some Swarovski crystals on a dress I have (both black) and it came out great! I'm going to see if I'll let me upload my video at night showing it.

 

[Prettymetty]

I co washed and did a moisturizing dc tonight. My hair is loving all the attention

 

[Prettymetty]

Your makeup is always on point and your hair looks great @HairPleezeGrow

 

[HairPleezeGrow]

Let's see if this video will work. It came out nice (the dress) I wore it as a shirt though


Nope only let me post the pics and not the video. Anyone know how to post a video?

 

[HairPleezeGrow]

Awww you're too sweet hun thank you. My hair has been at a standstill and idk if it's due to stress or what but I'm determined to get it moving again.

 

[Aggie]

Already sprayed Netwurks 21 on my scalp and Inversion completed for today - Day 6 complete.
