APL 2012 Challenge

Well I finally got around to doing my hair. I shampoo with Keracare Hydrayting Detangling Shampoo, I love this stuff. I was able to comb through my hair with no issues. I'm now under my heating cap with ORS Replenishing Pack on my hair now. My hair feels really good. Strong and soft.

Maybe I can get away with shampooing every ten days, instead of every week.
 
Checking in! Just been busy and I've been lurking a lot, I'm not much of a poster =)

I've decided to undergo a detox diet for like a week and then after reintroduce foods slowly back into my diet to combat this SD. I've got considerable hairloss but I can still salvage most of my hair. My follicles feel quite sensitive towards the back and i'm losing thickness. My scalp hasn't improved much even though I've been using Nizoral, ayurvedic herbs, ACV rinses and aloe vera gel. Apparently diet has much to do with SD so I'm going to improve my diet. I hope I can still make APL this year, but my priority at the moment is my scalp health.

Are you relaxed or natural? I'm asking because detangling my hair is a nightmare so I may try that Shampoo.
 
NitaChantell - Not that you asked me but I swear by V05 Moisture Milks for my detangling sessions. I finger detangle now but used to use a comb and both methods I use V05 and it just melts the tangles away.

i wish i could get flexi rods for this weekend. it is going to be hot tomorrow and i don't know where i am going or doing. it's a surprise! i own a ton of them, but it's too much work putting them in myself.
 
Just an update: I scheduled an appointment with the dermatologist to look at my bald spot...smh I hate saying that. It's really crazy that my hair is so full that it's so unnoticeable...that's one thing to be thankful for. I'm scheduled for next Monday, the 18th...so stayed tuned.

Since I got my hair done on Tuesday, I've been pincurling every night, applying MN/JBCO all over and especially on the spot and putting my scarf on. After another week straight, I'm thinking about mini braids, but I know I don't have the patience to do them...

No worries @jprayze! Your spot will fill in soon :yep:

I followed the advice of the ladies here to add scalp massages along to my Organic Coconut Oil (OCO) reggie and after 90 Days my thinning hair improved with great results! Here is a quick snapshot and a link to original up-close pictures available here ;)

I know it's been awhile, but I've been preoccupied.

It's not update time, and I'll definitely hang around until the next check-in, but....

I'm on day 2 of my twist out. I wasn't supposed to have my hair out, but... As soon as I get back home, I'm gonna wash my hair and attempt to put twist extensions in my hair.

Love that color Pook!! I'm going to have to do some serious catching up.
 
@blcbuty@
congrats lady!

i am going to color my hair tonight. blue black is what i am going for. i am going to deep condition my hair. i haven't done that in awhile since all of the deep conditioners i had were full of protein. i will just use Keracare Anti Dandruff/itchy scalp moisturizing conditioner. it has no protein in it. i am going to roller set my hair tonight. if i am not tired, i might flat iron the roots tonight and pin curl.
 
color came out fine and the conditioner was a hit! it is 2am now and i am about to roll set my hair and do my nails! i need to knock all of this out, so i don't have to worry about getting pretty later on today! :lol:
 
Ooh, it's length check day today but I'm so excited I had to take a sneaky pic while I was prepping!!! I won't be straightening till this evening so I'll post the proper pics tomorrow. This is the longest piece of my hair but I'm less than 1" from APL - wasn't even dreaming to be there until December at least!!

Good morning ladies! Big changes going on over here so I haven't been able to participate as much as I would like. I promise to make it up to you guys as soon as our furniture arrives to the island and I finally get my computer!

Gonna start on my mini braids very soon. I ran out of leave in conditioner and can you freakin believe that I couldn't find any around here???! Gonna have to order online...and in bulk!

Since i won't be able to do much to my hair this upcoming week (due to jrotc camp) I'm and going to do a gooood DT after i get home from my "bag drag" today. The only things i'm bringing is my spray bottle, aussie moist, MN mix, hair gel. I'm going to try a new mix of stuff in my spray bottle and see if its more moisturizing than what i'm using now.
