i cut all of my hair off completely in 2010. i had a bald fade.
i was natural until Sept 2011. i went back to relaxers. my hair grew pretty well during my natural phase, but i just decided spur of the moment to go back to the creamy crack! :lol:

well to be honest i made APL a few months early, but i had to cut off two inches due to a huge setback.(protein overload) since January i had cut 3 inches off. now i got my hair back on track. i stopped using products loaded with protein, and started using liquid leave-ins and moisturizers. i cut out using cream moisturizers and heavy oils. i roller set and don't use much heat. i bun mostly and i moisturize and seal daily.

my mother told me a few days ago that i do too much to my hair and that i should just cut it off! yeah ok! i called her a hater! :lol: i have my hair in a bun today. i saw her earlier and she said you did all of that to your hair and now you have it up! what was all of that for? i called her a hater again. my mother stays in the beauty shop, so i take what she says with a grain of salt! plus i am like the beauty supply store to her!

shortdub78 congratulations darling. You have a beautiful set of hair. I roller set and bun too and my bf always asks what's the point if it is going to be in a ponytail. I am going to call him a hater next time he says that too :lachen:

I wish my hair was as thick/dense and yours. I have a little hair envy :blush:

aww thank you! your hair is fab too! and i'm not just saying that!
 
Just checking in during what may be a long hair day. I just did a baking soda treatment to open up my tight cuticles. now I am sitting with a protein treatment on for the next hour and then I'm gonna do the mositure dc for a few hours followed by acv and maybe flat iron. So far the baking soda was fine my hair did feel softer, I will see if I get better results with mositure retention before making any claims.
 
I am SO proud of everyone in here!! I'm like a proud mama...and I don't have any kids of my own :lol:

I sure hope I can start the BSL challenge for next year and see most you ladies in there. I think the APL ninjas will be BSL long before then :yep:

Sent by me from my Android phone.Boom
 
Got the sample sizes of Joico K-Pak shampoo and conditioner. Followed that up with a Suave conditioner I'm trying to use up. (Hypothetically speaking, if you use enough conditioner - say, 1/4th of a Family Size bottle - you can darn near create a new curl pattern for yourself. I'm a Type Jheri curl right now :look:) After I rinse, I'm going to do my trim. :yep:

Went to the salon for a cut. I was prepared to gave a quite a bit off.

Well, he said, "you only need a few snips. You have thick ends that get tangled and I bet people mistake that for needing a heavy trim or cut."

THEN, OMG!!! This white man gave me a honey and avacado treatment, blow dried me on cool and warm, heat protectant and flat ironed me.

I am in awe. Photos to come.

see i was just talking about this in another thread. Treatments! black salons that i have been to, don't offer these types of treatments. do they know folks will pay money for this?!?
 
Don't worry about me. I'll be here to turn the lights off for all y'all girls who are moving on! :ohwell:

Blairx0 how did you create the baking soda treatment? were there any other ingredients added to the mix? I've known baking soda to be a GREAT cleaning agent :yep:
