I'm spending too much time trying to detangle, comb and style. With 2 little ones I don't have that much time. I'd rather use whatever time I get to eat and get some exercise in
I'm not going bone straight more texlax.

Happy New Year everyone!!!!!
I applied some homemade brahmi/shaikaki oil to my scalp and hair and will leave it on under my shower cap for a couple of hours (still awaiting my heat cap to arrive) then I'm going to do a Co-wash and tea rinse. After that I'll just do a LCO (liquid, conditioner, oil to seal)

Grazing CBL
Natural
Goal month is June
Current regi is straightened every two weeks and no heat in the summer
To reach my goal I'll be taking my multi. Plus including my hair in my health and body routine as well. Staying on top of my ends and binning is also a must.
Starting point; hovering over CBL

I think I'm finally ready to commit to a challenge...Been lurking too long.
1. Current Length: SL
2. Natural
3. Goal Month: Back=April..Sides=December
4. Decided to wear braids for awhile....sooooo I will "wash" them at least twice a week with clarifying conditioner concentrating on my scalp, apply my various homemade braid sprays and oil my scalp with coconut oil, Avacado oil, JBCO, whatever happens to be within reach; GHE 2-3 times a week, and occasionally sit under the steamer.
5. The changes need to made when my hair is not in braids. I still get frustrated with my hair so I need to relax and release when I'm dealing with my hair. Continue to use the techniques and products I know work instead of using ten gazillion different products 'cause I want to use them up...

Hiya, do you think so? In the first photo, I've pulled my hair from the back, which is probably why it looks longer. It's def on my shoulder but i don't know what the next length term is called, if SL isn't appropriate LOL.

Current hair length
I think my hair is grazing collar bone length. the last time i saw it a few weeks ago it was about there.
Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Transitioning
I'm texlaxed on the bottom few inches and natural on the top few... about half and half
Goal Month
I seem to make my year goals in about September or October, so I'll say October 31st
Current Reggie and styling choices
Current regimen is keep my hair in box braids and mist often with water/glycerin/rose... that's seriously all i do. When I take them all down, I have to clarify with a clarifying conditioner. deep condition with Organics orange smelling conditioner that i have. seal with castor oil. sit under the dryer for 10mins. rinse out and braid back up.
I wish I could rollerset, but I think I'll do that after I reach APL
What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to APL?
What i have been doing in the past that didn't work to keep my hair growing is leaving it out because i can't stand the ends on my neck, which is where they are right now. Also, I must keep it conditioned. Therefore, I'm just going to leave it in box braids and moisturize often...
I'm going to try to stay healthy in other areas as well, such as drinking enough water everyday, taking my vitamins, and regularly exercising.

Hi all!

2. Relaxed
3. December ( It took forever just to get to SL! Inhave a really long neck, lol)
4.Wearing half wigs daily, little to no heat
5. No changes, I saw steady, if slow, progress to SL.

Current hair length
~Relaxed/Natura/Texlaxed/Loc'd: Relaxed/Texlax
~APL goal month: Ugh maybe June/July
~Current Reggie and styling choices: Bunning, curl formers, Bantu knot-outs, flat ironed.
~What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to APL?
def start wearing my hair up more once it gets to shoulder length. I have always had trouble keeping it from breaking off once it hit my shoulders. So def more curls/buns/ponies the longer it gets.
experimenting with regimen now: adding a few things to help it be healthy and thicker.

I do... I usually keep braids, or sew ins. I think my hair bands break my hair off, not rubberbands though. I also know i have to practice keeping my hair moisturized.

Definitely be careful with hair bands. They can be just as damaging as rubber bands

cowashed todaywith joico conditioner in the brown bottle and the giovanni in the green bottle (sorry I can't remember the names). Applied some leave to the braid shaft then sealed with safflower oil. Massaged my scalp with Jojoba, avocado, and peppermint oil.
I will most likely be doing this all week.

Yesterday I DC'ed, co-wash, applied leave-in and M&S. Then went to bed. I notice a fairy knot or two at the end of some of my cornrows...I hope it's relaxed hair leaving me since I still have a few relaxed ends.
