We love you Imani. But you are APL now, so bye and go on back to your own challenge.
Can't wait to see it straightened. You have such a beautiful head of hair.
Thanks! But I won't be claiming it until I see where I am after my flat iron and trim. I've been fooled in the past by pull checks
(I just knew I was almost APL last summer) For consistency/comparison purposes, I always do official checks on straight hair.

My lead hair is now at CBL, but the bulk of my hair is still at SL and NL. Not looking like I'm going to make it to APL by my Aug Birthday.

livinthevida nope, none of that. I spritzed a little rosewater and glycerin in it a little while ago. But I don't wrap it up at night because nothing stays put. So I sleep with a satin pillowcase. I'm really loving my castor massages tho. I still have tingling long after I've stopped massaging. I plan to get steamer treatments at my local salon monthly once I get a bit more fuzz. Just to see if my hair likes it. And if so, I'll buy one myself. Other than that, I'm just keeping it low maintenance until I have enough hair for a twistout lol. Thanks for asking

What are you using to seal the moisture in? My hair loves creamy moisturizers like cantu shea butter or HawaiianSilky,but a little goes a long way.
P.S I haven't tried Hairfinity, I use a generic HSN tabs

Right now it's DC with MT 1x a week. Cowash 2x a week with Deva Curl No Poo, and Wen. M/S with Oidad Moisture Drench, and Donna Marie Super Buttercream. Protective style with twists, satin pillow rollers, and a satin cap. Plus my Vits every night.
I think what changed is that I stopped using Nioxin, and started using another hair vit. Plus my Denman stopped working for my hair, and I had to trim. And I really need a professional trim, but I'm scared to finally take this natural hair to a salon...

Awww... so many beautiful heads of hair!!! and many graduates!!! Congrats... I hope I will make it by the end of this year, However August sounds awesome too... But I still am shooting for December. I believe I am only getting the hang on what my hair likes now... Baiscly I have not been shampooing my hair, just cowash with a silicone free condish 2 to 3 time a week , then steam with oils once in a blue moon lol ( that will hopefully change once I get the braids out) and I spritz my hair now morning and night with water and seal with an oil (coconut lately)... my hair is loving it so far...
Braids are in for 3 months now... Trying to push for another month or 2...

@Imani you are out of your mind if you don't think you'll be APL whenever you flat iron. You're already there from just pulling!!
Sent by me from my Android phone.Boom
That's what I'm saying. Even if she trims she is there. But I do understand what you are saying Imani. It feels better to wait it out and do the full length check. I do remember last time
But I really think this time you are going to be pleased. 
Now we can look forward to Imanis hair straightening : 27 days.

Ok so I did a henna treatment on sunday. I left it in overnight and washed it out yesterday. OMG....My hair is so soft today. Its literally as soft as baby's hair. I cant believe it. I've never felt my hair this soft in my life. I mean my hair is usually soft but not this soft. I've never had henna do this to my hair before. I dont know if its what I added to it or what. I am in love with my hair right now. I cant keep my hands out of it.

This month is totally gonna suck hair-wise for me. Gotta run around every possible minute with my bestie to get everything done for her wedding, DH's birthday, trip to Vegas, family coming in town,and then packing everything up for our big move. I'm SO not looking forward to this at all. I may have to slap in some braids or something until the next length check. Idk what else to do!

Why don't you just wig it? I know you have plenty of personalities hanging around.
And it may suck hair-wise but otherwise it sounds likek your month is going to be fabulously fun

Better watch it. @faithVA might banish you off to the BSL thread after your length check in June
Yes if you try to get into the challenge thread and you are locked out, know that I changed the locks and you have been officially banned. Just move yourself over to the BSL Challenge

Hey ladies...I'm so ready to wash my hair. This is the longest I've gone in over a year without doing my weekly wash/dc routine. I can't wait to get home and take out my three week old braids, pre-poo with the argan oil I got on vacation(fingers crossed it doesn't spill in transit), wash and deep, deep, deep condition. I went to a hammam and the lady washed my hair with God only knows what before I could say anything-language barriers are a pain. I know they were looking real rough when she looked at me and said "Rasta?" lol I just hope all's well.

My flat twists extensions were not hold out so great. They were more fuzzy than when I do them on my natural hair So took those out. Not going to wash yet though because I am hoping my combs come by Thursday. But since its down, I may give mysef a scalp massage with HBCO tonight and sit under my heat cap.
