2016 Bsl/mbl Challenge

I massaged my scalp with sulfur oil last night. I will invert later today with more oil.

I'm almost out of my LOC leave in so I'll make some more. My ends seem to love the aloe, hot six and Mane n tail.
 
Looks like I haven't checked in for some time next Sunday I plan on having my mom do my perm (this will be my first this year). Then i'm going to head to hair cuttery for a wash and blow dry and have them trim my ends lightly (if needed).
 
I'm going to start meditating at night (mainly to calm my nerves) and using visualization techniques to reach my goals. I feel like a healthier stress free body is beneficial to hair/nail health. I also would like to get a good workout in a couple times a week. I blame my slow hair growth on my horrible diet and lack of a fitness regimen. I work an active job and at home I'm constantly cleaning and moving around, but it just isn't enough activity.

Once I drop 20ish lbs I think my hair will look thicker and longer. I'm starting a 5 day clean eating challenge next week with some facebook friends. Hopefully I can keep it going after the challenge ends.

@Prettymetty, I was thinking of doing a clean eating challenge as well. I did a mini version this week but sugar and pasta are my Achilles heal. What are the rules of your challenge?

It involves a Shakeology shake once a day and pretty much nothing processed. I can eat lean meats, fruits, vegetables and grains or nuts. So no soda, juice, candy, cookies or anything fried. I don't have the shakes so I might just buy a protein shake
 
Ladies do you use a paddle brush? I really want one but not sure where to start. The regular Denman works great for me and I thought their paddle brush would be great but the bristles have rounded tips and that will jack my hair up :nono: any recs I can find on the ground? Thank you!

Brushes are a no no for my 4b Velcro hair. I've even given up combs
 
Currently sitting under the dryer with my deep conditioning mix of grape seed oil, honey, and cholesterol after this I'm going to put a burgundy red semi permeant in and after that roller set and flat iron my roots.
 
I massaged my scalp with sulfur last night. Today is my 4th inversion.

I'm probably going to re twist my daughter's hair today. Aloe gel helped keep her hair from frizzing last week.
 
My clean eating challenge starts tomorrow. I hope my hair, skin and nails improve as a result. My nails need the most help. They are thin and brittle. It doesn't help that I bartend 4-5 days a week :(
 
I prepood with a mixture of acv, avj, rose water, and water.
Vo5 clarifying poo on scalp, suave daily clarifying conditioner on length.
Cowashed with garnier fructis whole blends coconut water& vanilla milk. :love3:
Moisturized with Camille Rose curl love moisture milk, sealed with castor oil. My hair is in two buns now and will remain so for couple days.
 
Just checking in because I don't think I have in a while. My nape is 12" I've been trying to get to that elusive milestone for some time now. It's just been stuck. So I have two more inches till I will claim MBL. Crossing my fingers for that by December. My goal is 1" by August and another by December. I love the way my twists hang solidly shoulder length in the back now. They brush against the top of my shoulder blades. :yep: Anyway, I'll continue taking my Manetabolism and drinking my protein shakes. I've been slacking on the latter recently because I was too lazy to pick up more. :look: My crown though is still pathetic. I think I need an iron supplement since I am vegetarian and am pretty sure that's a vitamin that I'm lacking. Thinking of restarting those and my B-complex to see if that helps my crown.
 
I need to catch up for the week:

1. Tuesday = Put TJ Tea Tree Tingle on my hair & sat under the heat cap for 30 minutes. Rinsed out 80% of Kynx I Am Strong and added Design Essentials Mouse for a rollerset.

2. Saturday = Prepoo'd overnight with AVJ spritz & Belle Butters Orange Dream Cream on ends. DC'd with SM Manuka under heat cap for 1 hour; Used CC's Natural Scalp Scrub, CW'd with TJ Tea Tree Tingle, Garnier Reconstructor & rinsed out 80% of Kynx I Am Strong. LCOB'd with L = Ion Repair; C = Coco Curls; O = Mission Condition on length; B = Kyra's Shea Rejuvenation on scalp & Belle Butters Orange Dream Cream on ends.

3. Sunday = Day 1 inversion with Keravada Alter Ego on scalp for 4 minutes.
 
Today's scalp massage was so relaxing. My scalp was really tight (probably from my wig). I trimmed my hip length V shaped wig to a U shaped mbl. It looks so much better now and styling will be much easier.
 
Day 2 eating clean was great. This is getting easier. I had a ton of fresh fruit and veggies and over 100 grams of protein. My Shakeology samples are here so today I'm making a chocolate protein shake. Protein boosts my growth like crazy...
