2016 Bsl/mbl Challenge

Kerastase is having a sale so I got Lait Vital, Masquintense Thick and Density mask. I'm also getting a free travel bag and a few samples. I'm gradually switching to all Kerastase/Loreal products. Being a diyer is saving me so much money that I can splurge on products every now and then.
 
I washed my hair this morning with Ion Healthy Scalp shampoo and did a 1hour dc with Kerastase Oleo Relax mask. After I t-shirt dried for a bit, I detangled and redid my braids. I had a little more shedding than usual, but I haven't washed in 2 weeks. I also had some tangles near the roots. I'm just glad wash day is over!
 
I keep forgetting to post this but I completed 7 days of inversions on the 7th. My regimen may be changing as well. For the last two weeks I've washed on Sunday, did a flat twist out on Mon-Tues then wear a puff the rest of the week. I'm enjoying wearing my hair out. I may try roller setting this weekend and if it works out I'll do it more often.
 
Today was CoWash Saturday:
  • Pre-poo'd overnight with my AVJ spritz & Duafe Naturals Whipped Amla on ends.
  • Applied Mane Choice Green Tea & Carrots DC and went under my heat cap for an hour.
  • Used CC's Naturals Scalp Scrub, CW'd my length with Ynobe's Pumpkin Silk, reconstructed with Ion & rinsed out 80% of HE Hello Hydration.
  • LCOB'd with L = Aphogee Curlific, C = HydroQuench Leave In, O = Macadamia Healing on length & Kreyol Essence Orange HBCO on edges, B = Liquid Gold's Green Magic on scalp & Belle Butters Orange Dream Cream on ends.

I did my first ever flexi-rod set last night on dry hair as I'm trying to stretch my blowout for 2 weeks. I used flaxseed gel and SM JBCO styling and repair lotion to set the hair before wrapping around the rods. I used the gray and purple rods as I wanted bigger looser curls. I was pretty happy with the outcome for this being my first time and this will last until wash day on Saturday.

@Daina your curls look pretty!

My Kerastase package arrived. I'm not impressed with this order. 2 of my samples are missing and one of my conditioners looks like it has been sitting on a shelf since 2006. It's dusty, sticky, etc. I'm not going to bother sending it back, because it's a great product and I have too much other stuff to do. My kids are on Spring Break so it's busy busy in my house.

Tomorrow after we get back from the beach I'll wash my hair. Should I use the thickening mask or the moisturizing mask tomorrow? Help me choose ladies.
 
@Prettymetty, thank you! I'm excited to have another style I can wear throughout the month. It will continue to help me to stay away from the flat iron.

Can you spoil your hair by using both or do they do similar things? This weekend I plan on using Redken Extreme Strength Builder Plus for a protein and ceramide treatment and then I'll follow that with a deep moisture mask.
 
Shampoo Saturday:
  • Pre-poo'd overnight with my AVJ spritz & Duafe Whipped Amla.
  • Applied a mix of ORS DC & Kapur/Kachri ayurvedic powder 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 & TJ's Tea Tree Tingle, reconstructed with Ion & rinsed out 80% of HE Hello Hydration & ACV rinse.
  • LCOB'd with L = Alikay's Lemongrass, C = HQ Leave In, O = Macadamia Healing on length & Kreyol Essence Chocolate HBCO on edges, B = Liquid Gold's Green Magic on scalp & Cream & Coco's Moonflower on ends.
 
Hello LHCF family :afro:

I did my length check pic when my hair is wet bc I AM PETrified of heat these days. I'm prolly going to have to go to Mastercuts and get it trimmed soon and use some heat but I'll be ok. On a good note my hair is filling in bc when I did a low ponytail and just let it air dry it looked really good.
:toocool:

I didn't gain a ton of length but it did fill in so I'm happy. Lost a lot of hair during my olive oil prepoo but.... it is what is is. Here is my March length check pic. Enjoy! lol love you all :rose::rolleyes:

Awww!!!! I'm glad you're happy with the results thus far. I learned a long time ago that milestones aren't always about length (although it appears that you gained some of that too :yep: :yep:). :congrats::congrats:
