2017 Bsl/mbl Challenge

[quirkydimples]

I’ll be joining this thread next year. If I can have the same amount of growth with no setbacks in 2018, I’ll be at BSL by the end of it.

 

[Evolving78]

I used Loc method. I’m using my leave-in cream and avocado oil to seal. This weather requires something a little heavier.

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

Woo.

It seems like I'm having some kind of setback, perhaps, from the flat twist out my brother's friend gave me.

She was overconfident! She would not apply product beyond my roots, she twisted very tiny, and she twisted very close to my scalp.

I have tangles, breakage, and shedding.

I'm prepooing under heat, then I'll DC.

I'm considering going in around the end of December and getting a significant trim. It just depends on whether my hair seems to recover or not.

I'm staying positive. I'm focusing on technique and new products that will arrive. I'm not going to live obsessed with every little issue/incident, but rather learn from them quickly and keep it moving and fun and happy.

No special characters. Just letters and numbers (regarding hashtsgs).

LOL! Good to know!

Significant hair loss. Woo.

My Soultanicals Soulvedic Poo Bar is saving the day. I was able to do some SUPER SERIOUS detangling with it, and after leaving it on my hair for 5 minutes, it's like my hair was conditioned and moisturized. We're on the mend.

Im happy to hear you and hair have made up.

I had negative energy before because I was upset about not braiding my hair, however I am happy that I deep conditioned it and put on lots of moisturizing products in preparation for braiding although I put it in a bun instead. I think I'll wear a plastic bag to do a greenhouse kind of thing tonight... so in that way this was a score

 

[Evolving78]

So happy I’m able to bun now without using my claw clips! I will still use them, but it’s nice just to use my spin pins!

 

[Evolving78]

I cowashed today just for some moisture and I’m trying to hold on to this black color for a spell.

@YvetteWithJoy I was reading the holy grail forum and you stated you got the marine collagen is it still working wonders for you? In your opinion is it worth it?

TIA

I'll never be without collagen. For the effects on my joints and skin, though. Taking collagen has me bounding up stairs effortlessly. I'm in my 40s, but my knees are like they're in their 20s.

I haven't been able to tell what it's doing for my hair. My nails had improved some, from the collagen, but then I watched that What's the Health documentary and my nutrition levels got disturbed. I think going vegan through threw things off.

The collagen definitely improved my skin, too.

 

[Evolving78]

I wonder who is gonna host the 2018 challenge? I have 3 inches to go to make my goal of BSL and two solid inches to make BSB. I’m excited! I’m going hard in the paint. I have 4 months to make my goal!

I don’t have an issue anymore, but when you wanna post to the thread, hit the upload a file button. Your phone may need to be updated, or you may need to resize your pics.
Also try using the site’s photo album, I think you will be able to resize from there, you can copy the link to the photo, then post it in your post.

I know I made my goal of MBL ...woot woot!
I had a horrid blowout job after a Henna gloss which wasn’t smooth (I didn’t plan my wash day and family outings right) SMH
My hair was a crispty, crackery mess - in Kat Williams voice...lol

My last blow dry was November 2016. I’ve trimmed throughout this year & will trim again 1/2 in - 1 inch SSK are EVIL

[Britt]

Thanks Sis

Awww you are so welcome!

 

[shanelallyn30]

get it girl!!!

I just went out and bought some today to go in my morning protein. from what I read the benefits people have been receiving for their health alone have been so great no one even seems to have paid attention what it has done for their hair.

oh I need to watch that. I love documentaries. thank you again

[Prettymetty]

I washed my hair and deep conditioned with Kerastase Masquintense. It feels really smooth and slippy, but the texture is still there. Oh well at least the tannin treatment doesnt smell or cause fumes.

 

[Evolving78]

I’m such a PJ! Lol I got some CON 7-1 leave-in and Silk elements cholesterol conditioner. I bought the 7 in 1 in the past, but i didn’t remember being wowed by it. I tried it last night, and I like it again. I wanted to see what was the hype about cholesterol conditioners. I haven’t used that in years. Maybe 5-7? I think? I was going to get the hair mayo by silk Elements. I will still get it though and put it in my protein collection.

I’m doing my hot oil treatment now, and will wash my hair with Silk Elements shampoo and deep condition with the cholesterol.

 

[Evolving78]

Ok so I got the Silk Elements Mayo and the CON again Oil moisturizing lotion. Since I’m going to try to incorporate cowashing into my Reggie, I got the Long & Luxe growash. I also got the Silk Elements pre scalp treatment. I have been using a lot of oil, so I wanna see if this will help with breaking some of that up before shampooing.
My Reggie this winter is all about bunning, so my products will be a heavier.
I don’t plan on heat styling my hair anymore, until April. I know I say this all of the time, but since I don’t plan to wear my hair out until then, there is no point.
So Reggie will be
Wash day 1 Shampoo, dc with either protein, or moisture, detangle, leave-in, dry under hooded dryer, moisturize and bun

Wash day 2 will be cowash, rinse out conditioner, detangle, etc..

During the week I will M&S and do my oil scalp massages.

I will trim as needed. My ends look pretty good. I dusted a bit.

I got some makeup and head wraps if I feel like I need to be jazzy.

 

[shanelallyn30]

has anyone heard of hair webbing?

I need a forum like this for nutrition. I'm sure there are some, but Lhcf is the best of all the others. I wonder which health and nutrition forum is the best

 

[shanelallyn30]

we have similar reggies! I just clay wash on sundays though, but the bunning and cowashing and buttering my ends is the truth. I got the cutest head bands to spice it up cause buns are so boring lol.

I’m going to get some more headbands later next year for the summer. I have a several now, but I want a few more with different colors.
