Winter is approaching and last winter was challenging. May have to cowash almost daily this time around and just keep in in a bun when I go out.
 
Cowashed today.

First I prepood with coconut oil +AOHSR
Scalp was prepped with my normal stinky mix : Neem oil + Eucalyptus oil + Njoy sulfur oil

I prepood for about an hour, then did the inversion method for 5.5 minutes & then hopped in the shower to cowash with Eden Body Works Coconut Shea Cleansing CoWash.

Final rinse with Paul Mitchell DT

I want to clear out Sallys of all their Eden Body Works Coconut Shea Cleansing CoWash.. but my PJ days are GONE. I will wait until I run out of the 2 tubs I have before buying more.

I need to reorder my Paul Mitchell Daily treatment. That stuff is like crack in my hair.

I have been slacking on my vitamins since last week. I need to do better.
 
I preepooed 18 hours with EVCO. I did a light wash with Edenbody works tea tree diluted with 7oz of water.Sea breeze and water rinse to scalp. Did a DC with SDVSCMD under the steamer for an hour and rinse. Coffee to scalp, DC wit AEhot oil mixed with bioinfusion critical masque mixed with sunflower, and rice bran. Hair also received loreal lusterizer. Ialready had those ceramide oils but the hot oil treatment could not have hurt since I was behind on my deep conditioner.
Rinse, ACV to hair, applied cold kimmaytube, then QB olive and Alma heavy cream, then castoi oil then some HH silk and aloe cream, baggie. went to bed.
 
I'm probably skipping cowahing tonight..
I have class until 9PM & then I have to spend time with my SO the furr babies.

Once I go home I know I will be tired from going all day. So I will skip the oil but still do inversion session #3 for October.
 
Henna'd with Red Raj, Australian red clay, black seed oil, cocoa powder, silk peptide, glycerine, and conditioner today. I only left it on for 3 hours, so I'm not sure how it took. Detangling was a PITA. Not planning on doing it again for a while. I finished detangling at 3pm and it's 8pm and my hair is a bit damp still, but the roots which are dry feel so soft. Not sure if that's means anything in terms of porosity. Will do a quick DC after swimming tomorrow then twist my hair until week.
 
skipped cowashing AND inversion last night.
Will get on it as soon as I get home from work.
 
TwoSnapsUp - I was just lurking in this thread and saw your updated pics.
Congratulations on your growth!!! That looks awesome - If I had that type of growth I would be golden. You should be so proud! :yep: KUTHGW

Thanks. That was a period of a year, with many trims and set backs. Now I baby my ends and refuse to trim anymore unless necessary. Can't wait to see the results in a few months.
 
So I did a 3-hr finger detangling session, for the first time ever. I usually detangle with a shower comb with wet hair and conditioner. It takes 5 minutes. I did it dry this time so I could dust as I went along. I lost quite a bit. I'm still SL/CBL but my ends feel better. I'm going to wash and deep condition next.
 
i havent braided my hair back up because the beauty supply store near me is having issues with the supplier. there is one a bit further, but i dont feel like driving all the way out there to get it, so i've been braiding out.

while buns aren't working with my laziness just yet. I've been doing a braid out once a week and putting it up in a banana clip. i sleep in the banana clip (lol) and its been great. I'm going to dc and braid out tonight and wear it in a banana clip all week.
 
Today will be day 6 of my October inversion sessions.

I failed my personal "no heat" challenge and did a blowout with Keratin Express. No regrets.

I have not done one of these treatments in forever, but I bit the bullet and decided to go for it.

I did a micro trim on my ends and plan on keeping it straight for the week (if my scalp agrees).My next wash day be sometime this upcoming weekend. If my hair does really well, I might start doing these express treatments on a monthly basis.:yep:
 
My next inversion session will be November 14-21.
I cannot say if I got an inch of growth.

I texlax December 22 (I will do inversions the week prior).

So I have 2 more inversion sessions before my TU.
 
I've been so bad these last 2 weeks and curling my hair every other day I hope deep conditioning it tuesday before my install will help combat all this heat! My hair looks so cute though!

Has a BSL 2014 Challenge been started? Did I miss it?
Click to expand...

Check out the existing BSL Challenge 2013 thread - I think NikkiQ is going to keep it rolling (by special request of the ladies). I believe the plan is to make it a combined BSL/MBL, which I think the majority of the ladies on the thread (including me - although I wasn't in the 2013 challenged) voted for.
 
I'll be hoping over to APL '14 for my third friggin year *mumbles* but hopefully, I'll be able to check in BSL before '15.

I'm right there with you. It's my need for blunt ends that keeps doing me in. I will say that although my hair is essentially the same length it was last year, it's healthier so I'm good with that.

BEAUTYU2U... Can you say this again? I do not want to join that thread. I need to snap out of it. I have a few hairs stretching under my arm. In the front. The back is growing slow. I believe that I am doing better using protein concentrated on my ends. I am babying the back..........:look:
 
Yep. I just trimmed all my SSKs off. It sucks cause I definitely look APL in the front but it looks less when I pull my hair back. I'll probably just lurk in challenges next year.
