I did my celies. Hopefully it's can leave in this set for 2 weeks. That means I have to go light with the stinky sulfur oil.

Question of the week:
When you reach your hair goal how will you reward yourself?
Click to expand...

When I get dis three inches, I'm gonna flat iron (lightly), wear it in some cute little style for about a week, buy myself some hair accessories and maybe a coupla products, then keep on growing! lol MBL was my original goal when I first came here. WL is/was just a pipe dream.
 
Starting Length: APL (11-12")
Goal Month: Dec. 2016 -BSL
Inches from BSL/MBL: about 5 inches from BSL
Regimen: sew-in every 10 weeks. Oil scalp as necessary w/ castor oil. After take down, do a thorough shampoo (CON), protein treatment (Joico) and condition(KeraCare). Low manipulation w/ the exception of my leave out. I've been doing this for the past year and I'm at APL which for me was a bit of a surprise. I know my hair grows slowly but so far I'm at 11-12"of natural hair (which shrinks up to like 4"). Last relaxer was Aug/Sept 2013.

Awesome! Please let us know what they say. I want to get one for my bday, but that isn't until June.
 
I bought another tube of mn today. I wasn't embarrassed at all:look: I mixed mn with aloe vera juice and a few drops of peppermint oil. I applied that mix twice today. I'm so serious about retaining this year.

Last year was the year of health and finding a good regimen. This is the year of retention. I want all 6 of my inches:happydance:

When I used it 3x a week it helped a lot. I keep stopping, because I don't want my body to get used to it. I usually do one month of mn and then skip a month. My growth rate is about 3 inches a year. Last year I grew 4.5 with the help of mn and liquid gold for the last few months of the year.

:lachen: When I was using MN, trust...no embarrassment in sight!
 
Last night, I pre-poo'd overnight with my AVJ mix & Brahmi/Amla Oil. This morning, I added ORS Olive Oil Replenishing DC under a heat cap for 1.5 hours. CW'd with Honey's Handmade Pumpkin & Safflower Apple Butter, SSI Okra Reconstructor, ACV Rinse & an 80% rinse out of SM African Black Balancing Conditioner.

I LCOB'd with Cozy Moments Protein Mist, Treluxe Untie the Knot, Keravada Super Gro on scalp, Duafe Amla on length, Kreyol Essence HBCO Peppermint on edges and Kyra's Shea Medley Rejuvenate butter on ends.
 
Washed my hair yesterday with Dr Bonners eucalyptus castille soap and then deep conditioned with Megatek coat rebuilder conditioner mixed with castor oil and honey....i felt i needed some protein in my hair as i have been using moisturising leave ins and conditioners.... i am approaching my 5th week in my protective style of braids and it's been so easy, it hurts! At night i massaged my scalp for about 4 minutes with my shea/hairdrenalin/MN/sulphur mix.....its a mutant mix of all my growth staples....have no clue if it works yet:lachen::lachen::lachen:
 
Missed my inversions over the weekend so did day 4 yesterday no oil or massage. I'm actually tired of my blow out and curls which is still going strong, Lol...so I am going to oil and massage scalp tonight before inverting and wear curly buns rest of week. I'm going to pre-poo Thursday into Friday and start the cleansing routine Friday after work.
 
I went to Cvs to pick up a few things and they were having a bogo vitamin sale. Then I printed my coupons and I had a $2 off vitamin purchase. I decided to get 2 bottles of fast dissolving biotin tablets. It's good for the hair, skin, nails and metabolism. I will start taking one 5000mg tablet a day and I may increase my dose if necessary.
 
Last night, I put Dove Nourishing Oil Care Conditioner on my braids, sat under the heat cap for 30 minutes, CW'd and rinsed it out and rinsed out 80% of the V05 Strawberries & Cream.

I LCOB'd with Carefree Curls Gold, Liquid Gold Ginger Cream, Keravada Super Gro on scalp, Duafe Amla on length, Kreyol Essence HBCO Peppermint on edges and Kyra's Shea Medley Refresh & Hydrating butter on ends.
 
Going to wash my hair this weekend and also do a protein treatment. Will pre-poo starting tonight with Amla and Jojoba oils. My blow-out and feather curls have been great the last 2 weeks and I could probably extend it a few more days to a week it's lasting that long but I've never gone longer than 2 weeks without cleansing my hair. I will probably do a braid/twist out for next week as I'm going to try and stay away from flat-ironing for the next 4 weeks at least. My goal is not to flat iron again until 2/27 so I made need some help from you ladies when I get weak as my husband really loves when my hair is flat-ironed. He likes the curls from WNG's or twist-outs but he LOVES it straight or with feather curls. I'm going to try and not cave but Valentine's Day is coming up...Lol
 
@Daina maybe you can wear a straight wig for Vday...

Today I washed my hair with Cream of Nature detangling shampoo and did a 5 min dc with Kerastase Therapiste mask and Garnier color mask to prevent my color from fading. My hair smells so good. Kerastase products smell so delicious. Once my hair airdries a bit I will moisturize, detangle and rebraid. I'm also going to snap a quick pic in my new length shirt from Just Grow Already.

It has been 2 weeks and everyone is doing a great job nurturing and protecting their hair. Question of the week: What is the one product that your hair can not live without?

For me it's aloe vera juice. It's a multipurpose product for me that makes my hair soft, smooth and easy to detangle.

@Prettymetty I'm not really a wig person and my hubby hates wigs more than he hates buns...
