APL 2012 Challenge

The color pieces I put in make it look cheap. So I took some pieces out yesterday. No point in color when my color already peeks through as you can see from my side view. Here's my hair today. Gonna take out more brown and put in the 1b.

Gonna undo these dry old Celies, wash & dc, then do some smaller ones and rock a wig over them as a ps.

I don't know if I'm gonna make it to APL by dec 31st, as I haven't really been taking good care of my hair and my diet has been appalling. It doesn't seem to be growing to me, and I've been suffering with major breakage.:nono:

You still have 6 months start pampering her now and maybe she'll be good to you in return
 
I am itching to do my hair....do something. But I am aiming for 14 days without handling my ends. Sigh. Maybe I'll just separate the twists and pin them back up in a pompadour so I don't feel so bored with it any more.
 
Well I revisted an old product in my stash. Cantu Shea butter leave in conditioner. I used it a few years ago and it made my hair hard and dried out. Well I bought it yesterday, after seeing a few "You tubers" talked so well about it. Im so happy I did. My hair is so soft and managable. Before I didn't follow the directions.

Today I section my hair in four parts sprayed my hair down with water and applied to my roots and ends then comb through. I tied a scarf around my head and left the remaining hair hanging, to air dry. After doing some work around the house, I took the scarf off and brushed into a bun. So soft and silky. My roots feel very moisturized too.

Now I see what all the hype is about.

Do you have an idea as to why you have so much breakage? Have you tried a protein treatment?

Mizani H20 nighttime treatment helped me, when I had breakage.
 
i'm really mad you ladies can't see my pic. i don't even know where to begin to correct the situation.

i cleaned out my history and cookies that might help when i come back later to fix it.

Had an (unexpectedly) fierce braidout today. I should of snapped a pic. Maybe tomorrow. I'm thinking of trying some growth aids. I've only been using the castor/coconut oil on my scalp periodically, when it gets dry or irritated. I take a multivitamin but maybe I should take Biotin. Wanna try MN too. :look:

Ok so I'm definitely going through with MN. I'll be buying some soon and mix it with QB AOHC in a dye bottle and apply nightly, bi-weekly. I'm going to continue researching Biotin and other vitamins.

Any awsome bss on the island selling new exotic hair products?
 
Hello Ladies,

Over the weekend I did a hard protein treatment and followed up with a moisturizing D/C ... I think I will do a protein and moisturizing conditioner treatment everytime I wash until I can figure out the protein/moisture balance my hair likes. Soooo, I was not able to set my hair after doing all of that and I had to throw on a drawstring ponytail :look: -- let's just say that the hubs wasn't feeling it. At. All. :lachen:

There is nothing wrong with drawstring ponytails, I just can't pull off the ponytail look. Never have been able to make it look good, unless it was a sculptured ponytail {holla if you remember the 90s cuz!!} That was my look in high school. :grin:

After wearing the drawstring for two days and getting tired of the sheeny, kinky front of my hair and the shiny, silkier texture of 'that' hair I did a cowash to prep for a twist-out. I did not add any leave-in conditioner to my hair because I wanted to see what keeping it simple would be like. All I did was seal with castor oil on damp hair and twisted my hair using Naptural85's method. My hair is very defined and it looks good. It has a good sheen and it is moisturized even in this 105 degree weather.

I am planning on having my hair out until this Friday. From there, I am planning on buying some bags of Xpressions hair and doing some twists (Pookaloo inspired me to give my twists a whirl :yep:) and keep it pushing from there. I can say that I am most looking forward to my day two hair because the day one twist-out on wet hair is supressing my true length and I gots to let the world know what I am t'werkin' with. I will send pix tomorrow.

BET ...

Thanks.

I think it's both a lack of moisture and protein, since I haven't DC'd in about 7 weeks and the Sahara desert's seen more moisture than my hair in that time period.:nono: I've just been super lazy and distracted by other things but I'm ready to get back on my HHJ now.
 
I wore a wig today... lots of people said my hair was cute, and my boss was all up in my hair... :lachen:

I need to train my white people better. They need to expect, and not overreact to different hairstyles... sheesh.

Heck no! There are no mom and pop BSS around here. Everyone seems to get all of their products from Walmart or Kmart. There are a few Sally's here but they're SERIOUSLY overpriced! I'm gonna have to stick with ordering my products on Amazon or have my mom ship them to me. I already know that buying products in the hair exchange on here is not gonna happen. Do you know how much people would freak out if I said that I lived in Puerto Rico??? :lachen:
 
tried out the Irish moss treatment, left it on my hair overnight, washed it off this am. My hair was not soft at all, it was rough even after adding moisture to it, couldn't do anything to it. I feel like my hair was softer b4 i put it in my hair. Maybe i did something wrong?

I'm going to do a red pimento hot oil treatment to see if i can get it back to a smooth texture. i need a PS, any ideas ladies? please
