I should wash my hair today, because of all the exercise. If I don't get around to it then I'll do it Friday when I have more time.

Happy Hump Day Ladies!!!
This is how I'm wearing my hair right now since I cannot deal with it (I can't be on my feet for 6 weeks). My friend comes over and re-braids for me every week and a half. She's trying to figure out how she can wash my hair and deep condition it for me but I'm looking at her like
, I know that you have a license (cosmetology and such) but 
I don't trust you with my hair 
...But, "I do love you and I appreciate everything that you have done for me..." I just can't!!!
OAN: I'm in my mid-30s and do you see ALL the grey????? This is why I color/dye ladies!!! I'm dying over here!!!

I did go to a salon, but on my way home it got a little damp and it shrunk a bit unfortunately. I took the pic after getting home and after it shrunk a little. I was a little disappointed plus in the salon, it just wouldn't get super straight. Perhaps that was because I told the stylist not to use extreme heat on my hair to be fair to her.

Thanks so much @Daina and @Prettymetty.
It is still a work in progress. I might just go for MBL now instead of just BSL. I don't know yet though and I'll see how it goes on my way to BSL.
It's not a secret that I toot the horn of Beautifully Bamboo and MSM vitamins a lot and I believe those two have a lot to do with the thickness. I was pleasantly surprised to see what it looked like after the blow out. I don't think my hair has ever been this thick before. It's quite welcoming
.
And now on to BSL.

@Aggie, I just started drinking the Beautifully Bamboo tea and I'm hoping it will increase my thickness since I had to stop the MSM. I definitely got increased thickness when I was taking the MSM.
Do you take a BB vitamin or drink the tea?

Oh my god Aggie!
Your hair looks fantastic! It's nice and thick, healthy, long and has a good shape to it. Yup I knew it you would be APL. Here we come BSL.

@Daina, I have been consuming both but I'm currently out of the tea and need to replenish those. So I have to use my pass for those in about a week or two.
ETA: Don't stop taking it and you'll see results with it. I was literally shocked when I saw my hair yesterday. I'm on this stuff for as long as @n_vizion continues to make them. I should look into ordering my tea soon though. I don't want too much time to lapse and negatively affect my hair growth streak.

I just wanted to encourage you because sometimes it's not about length, it's about health. What good is long hair if it looks like crap? Ever see someone that constantly dyes their hair blonde and it's so fried? It's like, girl dye that hair black and get a deep trim. Dark dye adds pigments to the hair causing it to look and feel thicker and healthier, whereas bleach chemicals (or lighter shades than your natural color) break down the hair and make it weak and very very dry.
The length will sneak up on you I promise. Just do your best to keep your hair healthy.

Thanks Sis! I so appreciate you! I'm having a nervy B over these greys, but such is life!
@Aggie, I'm good with the tea but I can't take the MSM. It made my period stay on for almost 4 weeks! I loved the thickness I got but can't deal with a period that long. So far I've had no issues with the tea.

Since our water picnic got postponed, I decided to just wash my hair next week. My fitness challenge is kicking my butt and I am working overtime this week.
I did spray my ends with water today and I will moisturize with Mane n tail before bed.

Question of the Week:
What is the biggest challenge in your hair journey right now?
The biggest challenge for me is finding the time and energy to properly care for my hair. I feel like I'm being selfish or neglecting my family if wash day takes longer than an hour. It takes 45 minutes to prepoo, wash and dc. Then I airdry for at least 4 hours. Lastly I straighten on low to stretch my roots and redo my braids. That takes a little over an hour.
