APL 2012 Challenge

Turned my afro puffs into buns. Gelled down my edges and it looks more polished. I can actually wear this outside the house. YAY! lol Will DC overnight, wash, moisturize, and blow dry with tension method.
 
3rd day with LF and getting lots of compliments but it's hot!!! Lol my hair was super dry under there. I wasn't doing enough M&S. Anyway I cowashed and am now DC with ORS Repl., honey and JBCO under baggy for 30 mins. Then I have to step out and I will be during a wet bun! LF can go back on in the am!!!

Honestly no I haven't noticed a difference! I used it about 3 times and nothing. Was also using it for lightening but thats hard to tell because my hair is already light.
 
I've never noticed a difference if I use honey in a DC but if I use my olive oil and honey mix to pre-poo my hair feels sooooo much softer. I also use it on my my little niece when she was 3 to 4 years old with the same results and same with my Mom's hair.
 
1 week down in these braids...hopefully 3 more to go. But idk. These suckers are getting a bit fuzzy around my hair line in the front. Gonna have to take these few down and redo them.

Mine are frizzy to but I love how easy it is to M&S, wash n DC way better than wearing celies:)
 
Thanks so much for the the feedback ladies! I'm hoping to be APL by February when I was relaxed I got there pretty fast but stayed there could never get to BSL for the life of me now that I'm fully natural we shall see what this hair of mine does I'm hiding it though it drives me crazy watching/waiting for it to grow! Lol

Every time someone hasnt checked in for a while and then they come back, they are APL! Congrats afrofaithful!
 
I think I finally got my hair moisturized! Hair and scalp feel much better. Did my celies on slightly damp hair, used HE LTR, grapeseed oil on scalp and a bit on hair and mimosa hair honey while braiding.

You sure look apl to me, your hair is so thick and healthy looking:) keep up the good work!
 
:congrats: @afrofaithful! Welcome to the APL but staying in the challenge club :lol:

@jprayze- :yay: for you! I may need to try that sometimes! I am always looking for ways to up my moisture levels!

Quick question ladies: I am taking down mini twists after having them in for over 5 weeks :look: I really pushed it past when I should have & I am nervous. How do you guys detangle gently after extended PS'ing? Last couple times, I felt like I had excessive shedding & I want to minimize it this time :yep:
 
LilMissSunshine5 I usually cover my hair pretty well with oil before taking down any braids that I've had in for an extended period of time. That helps finger detangling go easier as you take each braid down and then use a wide tooth comb to get any other shed hair that may not have come out during the finger detangling session.

Mines are very frizzy. I still have my minis in but under a wig. I really like them me I'm working out b/c usually I'll have my celies in, the minis make it so at least people aren't looking at me crazy:spinning:
 
I think I'm gonna redo the front minis on Sunday or Monday. Our funiture (and everything else we own) is being delivered tomorrow morning. Thank the LORD!!! I miss my clothes and my hair care products....and my extensive nail polish collection. I feel like a crappy bum and starting to look like one.
